Just go with young one/fella or oul one/fella. Everyone's insulted.

‘Honey bear’: Berkeley student details alleged sexual advances by professor

The professor also forwarded Hemenway extensive email conversations he had with others about the harassment claims against him – correspondences in which he and others mocked the allegations.

In one message, Wentworth wrote, “I want to find out who’s spreading this rumor, and grind their fucking nuts into powder before I distribute it into communal meals for his family.” He also repeatedly referred to Hemenway as “attractive” and a “shining star” in the emails, while calling another undergraduate an “ugly girl”.

Hemenway said she tried to brush aside his behavior, but it only got worse. She wanted to speak up but was worried about her career. Because Wentworth was advising her on her thesis and responsible for her letters of recommendation, she felt she had to remain silent.

“I will always honor professor-student boundaries,” he said, according to the complaint. “Once you graduate, that’s an entirely different scenario. I look forward to the day when you graduate. … But until then, just know that I will never come onto you or make you feel uncomfortable. Got that, honey?”

Went back to work after taking time off to welcome Mini Ammonis to the world and make sure the two of them were well looked after at home. First thing one of the guys said was "How was your holiday?" Dick.

I feel like I became a man when my responsibilities overwhelmed my desires

Does he have kids himself? If not then he's making that joke cos he's a child, and you're a man (if he does then he's either a dick or plain old dense)

No kids and he actually meant it. The look on his face when I corrected him.

If he's like me; not being particularly interested in what people at work get up to, he might have been completely oblivious to the fact you'd had a child and just assumed you were on leave.

Congratulations by the way

This comment nails it (misspellings aside)

Dear Sir or Madam,
I've been a keen reader of The Onion for a while now, but I must say that your attempt to palgiarize The Guardian is going a little too far at this point. You're even the copying the colorscheme and url and I…what? What was that? Oh, this IS The Guardian? Wow, sorry, I seem to have gotten confused there. See, its just that I couldn't imagine that any intelligent human would be serious about this.

that commenter is an idiot

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

The whole article's a nonsense

“Her words: ‘Dad, why is that monster man committing violence against a woman?’ This from a 9-year-old. If she can see it, why can’t Fox?”

Right.
