A student has stripped down to her bra and underwear during her thesis presentation in protest against her professor's comments that her choice of clothing was inappropriate.
Letitia Chai, a senior student at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, took off her clothes during her presentation, which was filmed on Facebook live, to stand up against "oppressive beliefs and discrimination".
Ms Chai organised the protest after her teacher allegedly questioned her choice of clothing during a test run of her thesis presentation and told her: "Your shorts are too short".
Describing the incident in a Facebook post, Chai wrote: "She proceeded to tell me in front of my whole class that I was inviting the male gaze away from the content of my presentation and onto my body."

"Needless to say, I was shook," Ms Chai wrote.
After she left the classroom, her teacher came out to talk to her and according to Ms Chai, she asked her what her mother would think of her outfit.
"What would my mom think? My mom is a feminist, gender, sexuality studies professor. She has dedicated her life to the empowerment of people in all gender identities. So, I think my mother would [be] fine with my shorts," ...
When asked what she was going to do, Ms Chai replied: "I'm going to give the best damn speech of my life."
Writing on Facebook, Ms Chai invited others to support her on the day of her actual presentation and asked people to "strip down" to their underwear with her during her 15-minute address.

She told the audience of several dozens that this was a call for "solidarity" with students like her who had been asked to "question themselves about their appearances for the comfort of others".

Itahca is the City of Evil ping!
That’s just an example of her cultural appropriation of ebonics.
She’s Pretty....Vacuous
Short shorts that Laz will approve of
A little bit chunky but I and Laz would hit it.
....cause I’m easy...easy like Sunday mornin....
Next time tell her...that her clothing was too revealing...but bring in a broom and some bleach after her next presentation
.
I’m so confused.
What if her behavior offended someone and they had to run to a safe place?
Is that ok?
The professor’s standards were “dress as you would for a professional presentation”. The student’s reaction to the criticism of informal dress is to undress.
That might be appropriate for a social justice activist.
So, she is a man-hating godless communist who raised a worthless fat chunk.
Babe, your mom failed!
