I'm sorry Errigal, but if you think academia was ever a "free market of ideas" and not a some narrowly defined institution governed by a few one-sighted, closed-minded elite scholars on an ego trip then you are on the wrong track.

The same could be said for men. In the end, if one wants to be heard, they have to speak. One person's "brash and aggressive" is another person's "brave and fearless", just depends on one's values and one's perspective I suppose.
