A great many muthafuckaz in society absolutely LOVE it when U BEND OVER for em....or they love to SLAP shit out ya--and THEN when U return in kind wit a BACKHAND PIMP SLAP dat knocks da SPITTLE out they MOUF then they wannabe UPSET. Now YOU are the One who is wrong. Been there a lotta times in mah Illustrious career of dealing wit other folks' shit. May U continue to stand up for Yo Self.
Jenn, your ire is wonderful - brave, forthright, speaking truth to power. I’m a longtime adjunct, too, and the situation you describe, the essential unequal power dynamic, is well known to me. I think those who are smilingly in power in academia actively deny their privilege and the extent to which they gaslight those who do much of the actual work of teaching students. I have stuck with it for years because I enjoy working with students - but there are times when even that doesn’t feel worth it.
In polite society it is considered beyond the pale to express any negative emotion about one's exploitation. The overwhelming expectation is that we quietly submit.

Thanks Martha! Yeah I’m still struggling to transition out of academia but it’s rough.
Slow 👏
