Today, in history class I was called "ignorant" and "inconsiderate" because I referred to Stalin as a "he". FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML
Today in class I accidentally called my teacher very old and almost dead. As we were discussing a book I said that the book character is very old and close to death since it fitted to the context. Turns out this character is one year younger than my teacher and she wasn't amused. FML
Today, I was teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML
Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. FML
Today, I tried to explain to my history teacher why Woodrow Wilson would not have called the Great War "World War 1" as she constantly claims. I was sent to the office for my insubordination. FML
Today, I was once again berated by an idiotic parent. I’ve been called a filthy liberal, a groomer, and had my job threatened several times. All of this because I was teaching second graders about pronouns. You know, the part of English grammar that replaces a noun. Nothing political at all. FML
Today, my teacher called me "stupid and ignorant" for referring to myself as Asian. I'm from Pakistan. Pakistan is in Asia. FML
Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML
Today, I had to explain to my teacher that Czechoslovakia is no longer a country. She kicked me out of class when she found out I was right. FML
Today, I was called to solve a problem question at the start of a lecture. I stupidly went up to the board before telling the lecturer in front of 300+ students that I had no Idea what he had been doing the whole week. The lecturer made a sneery comment about why some of us are blockheads. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The comments here are starting to hurt my brain. The teacher obviously meant that Stalin was so evil that he should not be referenced with a 'him' but rather an abstract or inhumane title such as 'it'. How the comments are starting to steer this towards sexism is ******* ridiculous. On another note, the history teacher is equally as stupid.

So by that logic, Hitler, bin Landen, Judas, and Trump, all male, are its as an ideal of evil, not seen as human beings?

I have a real problem with that because it implies that they weren't human therefore humans aren't capable of that evil, which they clearly are. So giving them "monster" and "inhuman" status makes them seem different than us and that *normal* people aren't capable of such atrocities when they are. (not saying #33 and #27 are implying that, just some thoughts).

OP never said it was his history teacher.

It sounds more like you're the dumb one. OP never mentioned a history teacher and it was more likely because some people don't go by the pronouns they were assigned at birth. This is stupid because Stalin is long dead and he most likely identified as a male.

What I'd really like to know is who called you ignorant and inconsiderate, because if it was a class mate then you can just smile at their ignorance but if it was your history teacher, you have real problems.

Stuff like this makes me afraid to be a professor.

Everyone knows that Stalin was a lizard person.

Wait! Stalin was a white, heterosexual male. I thought they were ok to stereotype still. When did that change?! Did I not get the memo?

Good for you, comrade! These dissidents will soon be in the salt mines or in the receiving end of a glorious KV2 shell, guided by Stalin's hand!

Oh, wow. Not just FYL but ours as well. The world is a sad place when you cant even use gender identifiers anymore.

I personally think it's a sad place when people are starving to death while there is plenty of food, but we must have different opinions

I'm willing to bet that idiot is one of those tumblr feminists. Ignore her and let her be stupid.

It's so hard to do that.
