Ivy League senior strips to present thesis to fight 'oppressive beliefs'

A Cornell University senior delivered her honors thesis after stripping down to her bra and underwear in front of her teacher and classmates -- at least two dozen of whom also undressed -- in a bid to "stand against oppressive beliefs and discrimination," Campus Reform reported Tuesday.
Letitia Chai removed all her clothes except for her undergarments during her “Acting in Public” presentation Saturday as a demonstration against her professor, Rebekah Maggor, who questioned Chai's attire during her talk about refugee relocation, according to The Cornell Daily Sun.
quote:
“When I got up to start, my professor said: ‘Is that really what you would wear?’” Chai, who said she was “shook” and filled with “rage and disbelief” after the incident, wrote in a Facebook post that soon went viral. “She, a white woman, continued: ‘Your shorts are too short.’”
Chai recalled wearing a “long-sleeve blue button-down shirt and denim cut-offs,” which she alleges her professor told her was “inviting the male gaze away from the content of my presentation and onto my body.” She says an international male student agreed with the professor.

In the class syllabus, students’ “dress” is one of the course requirements.
?“For your performances, dress appropriately for the persona you will present,” the syllabus reads, “For example, how would you dress for a specific job interview? How would you dress when introducing a famous speaker at a particular conference? How would you dress to give a speech at a protest rally?”

They were probably staring at her stump of an arm.

I'm sick of all these people who get pissed off because some one talked about about something. Who gives a shite and move on.

This reminds me of the feminists who parade naked to protest the "objectification of women". You're doing it wrong.

And this is why the people seeking to make change won’t find it.
Successful people are (usually) open to hearing many ideas and are open to discussing those ideas.
They are not ok with fools who only aim to be louder than the next fool for attention.

This is like saying "I'm going to wear this dominatrix suit to a job interview at Chic Fil A corporate, and if I don't get the job, I'm suing for discrimination"

So her response was to strip down to her undies?
I hope her professor failed her on that speech with something along the lines of...
"Because of your lack of clothing I was too busy noticing you needed some ab work (and a little extra trimming down south) to listen to your speech. Clothing matters when presenting."

Because that privileged white woman was trying to whitesplain to the discriminated person of color.
Do you even SJW bro?

I hope the next guy to give a presentation does so with his dick and balls hanging out. Then, if people get outraged, he can scream about how his penis identifies as a vagina and people getting upset is nothing more than misogynistic oppression.

I was expecting to read that she was protesting someone mocking traditional Asian dress. Really her teacher just commented on her dressing too casually for an important presentation.
Of course this caused her to feel “shook” and filled with “rage and disbelief.”
Jesus Christ.

This isn't presentation attire. Good on her professor for calling it out.
