A group of male fourth-year Dalhousie University dentistry students who posted misogynistic comments about their female colleagues on a Facebook page, including crude jokes about sedating them for rough sex, are at risk of expulsion.
University president Richard Florizone has launched an investigation into the incident, and immediately postponed exams for the 47 fourth-year students – 26 men and 21 women – until January, not wanting any targets of the offensive posts to be sitting next to a perpetrator until he knows more.

The social media group was called the Class of DDS 2015 Gentlemen. According to the CBC, some of the students voted on the female students they would like to have “hate” sex with and also talked about using chloroform to incapacitate the women.
Dr. Florizone said specific female students were named on the Facebook page. He does not know how long the Facebook page was online before it was taken down late last week, according to the CBC.
“I haven’t reviewed all the material but I have seen enough to know that it is entirely unacceptable,” he said.
For Dalhousie Student Union president Ramz Aziz, however, this is not a complete surprise. Last summer, a female dental student came to him, saying she was representing other women in her class. She spoke to him on the condition of anonymity, fearing that she would lose her degree or be targeted for speaking out.

Well, to talk of apparently raping some number of fellow classmates via chloroform by physically stronger guys is not exactly the kind of “compliment” any girl would want.
I’ve heard of dentists who have done such stuff, but I would believe it’s rare.
He’s masagenated!
All you boys is masegenated!

Since time began, there has always been a element of this type of stuff. With knowledge increasing daily and the internet I suppose you need a cop on every sight. I think the Men had a right to say what they want to say, even though ugly, unkind, and etc. This social media is ridiculous but everybody wants to be a part, until steps on their toes. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Would I want one of them for my Dentist who knows might have one worse. Life is to Precious to worry about what some idiot said about me. Thought Police are coming.
If Tim Whatley had a son....
It is kind of funny that Facebook started as a couple of college kids posting misogynistic comments about women. Made one guy a billionaire, but of course he pays off the democrats to leave him alone.
