At a panel at Dalhousie University last Thursday, Prof. Haiven shared her method for elevating women’s voices in the classroom. It’s simple: let the ladies go first. Addressing the crowd at the “Forum on Misogyny,” which was formed in response to the ongoing saga over offensive Facebook posts published by a group of male dentistry students, Prof. Haiven explained how she uses this process in her own classroom.

“In the management department, women get to speak first,” she said, adding that “men should not be allowed to monopolize” classroom discussions and public events. Her six co-panelists generally agreed, including Jude Ashburn of the local gender and sexual resource centre, who told UNews after the panel that women of colour, specifically, should be ones to speak first in class.

Isn't "ladies first" benevolent sexism?
