I can't resist linking to this; a former grad student recounts being cyber-harassed by the same Slovenian Lacanian/Marxist who thinks it's hilarious to make fun of black people and women academics when they seek inclusion in such heroic events as conferences on Marxism. From a comments section at Bitch, PhD:
Umm...I've got a few. In grad school at UCLA, I received an unsolicited email from a famous visiting scholar (Slavoj Zizek if you care) detailing all the filthy sexual acts he wanted to perform on me. The professor (Kenneth Reinhard) in whose seminar he was lecturing admitted he had given him my email address, and immediately asked me how this was going to affect him personally. My supervisor, a famous feminist artist (Mary Kelly), pretended to be shocked but also told me I would miss this kind of male attention when it was gone. The following year she invited Zizek back as a keynote speaker for a conference on ethics.
Why am I not surprised?
