You could've just said "yes".
(The operative part of that reply was "hours after it was amended". Your rant, and 90% of the other replies on this thread, added nothing at all to the conversation besides typical red pill douche-baggery.)
In the (extremely) unlikely event that I post here again, I'll be sure to stealth edit any changes instead.
If you really want to pursue this line of thinking, what if a female nurse had posted a hobby page wherein she documented all the ways nurses most often contaminate hospitals or traumatize children, and all the "example" nurses in the pictures were male.
But really, that's not a perfect analogy. Female bodies != male bodies in our culture, particularly in STEM careers. It is at best impolite (and at worst creating a hostile work/study environment) to use these images in a page on a university website.
But maybe you're not seeing the same images as everyone else. Most of us see these on his page: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/bchafy/test_rgb/testrgb.jpg http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/bchafy/test_rgb/3girl_test3.JPG http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/bchafy/test_rgb/3girl_test.JPG
In fact, all of his non-technical images are of scantily clad or posing women. That's fine in some contexts, but definitely not professional or welcoming to female students.
I just hope he's only a student, and not in a position of responsibility. (Not that that necessarily makes it OK, but at least it would reflect less on the institution).
edit: ok, not porn, "objectified female bodies". Because that makes it more appropriate?
You can see the admissions essay requirements on the linked page.
The irony of course is that the scions of empires and children of privilege who are being groomed for leadership essentially get a free pass at admissions. (Which has a sort of logic when you consider that they form the backbone of the class power network almost immediately upon graduation).
(As an HBS graduate I have mixed feelings about the overall privilege distribution, but admit to having no plausible suggestions of how to address it.)
My conclusion is that for a multitude of reasons (most of which are well known) having involved investors reduces my chances of success considerably. And all they offer is money.
Money is cheap.
Meddling, conniving & power-drunk busybodies, all of them.
Totally off-topic, but I have such a fangirl crush on Salvatore Sanfilippo... Every time he posts I get butterflies.
