I'm with ya on the male chauvinism lesson, FarmBoy, but is questioning the need to give professors tenure featuring "guaranteed employment and 6 months of vacation a year" (or at least highlighting how unprecedented such perks would be in the "real world", or questioning "fairness" conclusions drawn simply from current-salary data) really "anti-intellectualism"? That comment probably didn't endear him to the faculty, but there's more than a nugget of substance to his underlying point there.
