re: Univ of Florida professor lowers grade for use of the non gender neutral word “man”

I'm thinking it's one of his peeves and he makes his statements by dictating his opinions to his students.

Seems more to me like the professor is just being nitpicky and called the student to task for trying to pass off a piece of creative writing for what is supposed to be an upper level college history course. In response, the student claimed his teacher was being an SJW to deflect attention away from the fact that the paper is just not good and the professor opted to use it as a teaching tool for the whole class to the embarrassment of the student (only mistake there is that the professor had better make this a regular practice with everyone's papers fair game or you're liable to get this exact situation where a student overreacts and claims bias).

Both the professor and the student are being dumb but, hey, that's Florida
