When I teach sociology I love it when students contradict me - it makes the class more interesting. For me the whole point is getting students to think for themselves and to question the world around them, and that includes me. There is no wrong answer in sociology and it's great to have as many opinions expressed as possible. I would've thought she was a crap teacher if she'd responded negatively. Keep at it!!
May I ask a question? I noticed that you use "ze" and "zir" as pronouns. Is this your way of genderqueering language? I'm just curious (as you know, I'm total into gender issues) and I'd love to hear what you have to say. :)
I know that when I teach sociology, I pretty much tell students "Disagree with me or your grades will not be as good as they could be". I expect them to disagree; if they don't, something is wrong IMO. Sociology is all about examining your world in critical ways and they can't possibly all agree with me all of the time. I wish everyone taught this way, _but_ my fingers are crossed that your professor is one of those.
Also, I don't know if I've said it yet, but I absolutely LOVE the idea of that as a tattoo!
