Well she's gay, a minority, and like 30, so not you're typical 60 year old white professor with a superiority complex. Right now we're reading excerpts from Indigenous American/Canadian literature and about how those communities were very communal and democratic and far less discriminatory and selfish than Europeans.
I feel like you should ask her if she knows any other based professors and try and take their classes, even if they aren't 100% related to your field of study. Saying this as someone who had shitty profs in my field of study and I didn't really learn anything from them anyway.
My brother took a poli-sci course (ish) and they had that big ass map of "freedom" by FreedomHouse. When I pointed out that it's garbage, he got defensive and said "just because they don't publish what criteria they rank countries by, doesn't mean it's totally useless". I had a lot of fun dunking on him after that one, and he even admitted that I was kind of right, so I guess the small victories count.
Mine was more "according to the chart America has more freedoms"
Like this was back when I was still a lib, but even then I could see how fucking substanceless and unscientific the class was.
