At one point, the (male) professor said something like "But beyond all this, women are just better than men, and I think we all know it." This offended me, and I fumed to myself internally, thinking that if he'd made the opposite claim he'd probably get in trouble with the administration of the college, etc.

He probably offended the feminists too. See feminists' reaction to Roger Ebert's "Women Are Better Than Men" column.
