"First, I want to note that this man is a supreme coward," Fair wrote. "When I approached this flaccid, sorry excuse of a man and asked ‘Are you Richard Spencer,' this pendulous poltroon said 'No. I am not.'"

She then proceeded to exploit "the full range of my first amendment entitlements by telling him that this country does not belong to white men."

The gym later notified Spencer that his membership is terminated "effective immediately." Spencer confirmed to BuzzFeed News that he had been kicked out of his gym following the interaction with the professor.

I get confronting Spencer, but where do these shrill bitches get off stalking Spicer through the Apple Store? I'm getting tired of seeing videos like this. At least the Spencer/punch video was sort of funny.

Perhaps it's just me, but I'd expect an aspiring professor (she's an assistant professor) would conduct herself with more dignity than she demonstrated in this article. Not to mention her exploitation of "the full range of [her] first amendment entitlements;" and I thought I was pretentious...

Spencer is a stooge, but the fact remains that the "alt-right" (aka 4chan/reddit neo-fascists) are virtually powerless and their little leader, Spencer, was and would remain an unknown nobody if it wasn't for news sites, such as The Atlantic, obsessively writing articles about this puffed-up boogyman. I can't say I feel sorry for his life being ruined over his abhorrent politics, but at the same time everyone, including Spencer, should have the right to not be harassed in his daily affairs.

She showed him!

In all seriousness, as someone who supports legal discrimination because of race, sexuality, gender, politics, and etc., I find this to be a good thing.

The gays aren't white supremacists.

In modern academia this sort of conduct is likely viewed as an asset rather than a liability. Many departments are almost entirely politicized at this point, especially post-Trump. Younger American academia is full of people, who if by some extreme misfortune, ever did manage to come to power would begin by guillotining a quarter of the country.
