It's pretty sad that just noticing sexism in old movies is now apparently "sjw try to ruin everything!"

Anyways, I haven't watched GhostBusters in years lol I barley remember Murrey was even in it. Was he really that bad?

[(Anonymous)]

He kind of was. The movie opens with him flirting with one of his students (and she's a dumb blonde stereotype) at his college and trying to get her to agree to a late night meeting with him *winkwink*. Then he meets Sigourney Weaver and frankly, all of their interactions are a bit weird.

[(Anonymous)]

It's been aw while since I've seen it, but I don't think she was one of his students. Just a person who had shown up for a study. Which doesn't make him not kind of lecherous, but it certainly mitigates some of the power imbalance in a straight-up teacher-student scenario.

[(Anonymous)]

She's not his student exactly, but she's clearly college age and likely a student at the college where he teaches.

[(Anonymous)]

And? The ethical issues come from dating students you teach.

[(Anonymous)]

That's assuming people don't have any issues with someone who's old enough to be a professor hitting on someone who's young enough to be a college student who is also a test subject for an academic study the professor is running. He was also tricking her into believing she has ESP when he clearly knows she doesn't, because he wanted to get in her pants. Plenty of ethical issues there, regardless of age.

At the institutions I've worked for, relationships with students were discouraged regardless, although exceptions are made assuming no supervisory conflict of interest.

Not... really. I can almost guarantee you that if you're a 30+ professor dating an 18 year old student at your college, there's gonna be problems even if the student isn't in your class.

Probably because noticing sexism in movies is rarely demonstrated as "that was a sexist scene, let's talk about it in the context of real life," and is much more often demonstrated as "look at this sexist scene in this sexist movie by sexist writers and all the awful people who like it!"

Also because a lot of the biggest complainers never seem to look at the context of the scene and characters as a whole, taking into account circumstances, psychology, societal norms and emotional states of said characters to examine why a character is the way they are or if the narrative supports them as being correct, incorrect or ambiguous (ie up to the viewer). It's always just "BUT SOMEONE WROTE IT THAT WAY! SEXIST EVIL BAD!"
