The images and story spread online mainly via American writers, showing how quickly a reputation can be dented.<\/p>\n<p>As well as lowering the wider worlds opinion of himself, the online debate highlighted the lack of women studying philosophy even at UCPH where only 140 out of 517 philosophy students are female despite 59% of undergraduates being so.<\/p>\n<h2>A warning for others?<\/h2>\n<p>The first story broke at the <a href=\"http:\/\/feministphilosophers.wordpress.com\/2012\/02\/22\/um\">feminist philosopher blog<\/a> which highlighted the strangeness of using sexy schoolgirls to advertise a university course at the University of Copenhagen. This was followed by a multitude of smaller blogs such as <a href=\"http:\/\/railct.com\/2012\/02\/22\/women-in-logic\/\">RAIL<\/a> where Professor Hundlby noted \u00bbThe kinderwhore fashion is ten years out of date and provides too little clothing for Copenhagen anyway\u00ab. <\/p>\n<p>Then other philosophers weighed in when Dr. Leigh M. Johnson, assistant professor of philosophy at Rhodes College, Tennessee objected. <a href=\"http:\/\/readmorewritemorethinkmorebemore.blogspot.com\/2012\/02\/if-p-then-wtf.html\">Noting that the pictures<\/a> \u00bbcapitalize on the sexual objectification, infantilization, subordination, submission and de-intellectualizing of women.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>The final comment was likely had by the <a href=\"http:\/\/jezebel.com\/vincent-hendricks\/\">gossip blog Jezebel<\/a> which has a monthly readership of almost 10 million readers and brought this to their attention along with an earlier scandal, pointedly writing \u00bbmaybe Hendricks is just not all that good at knowing when something will damage his reputation as a serious philosopher.\u00ab The combined commentary by these agents encouraged Professor Hendricks to take down the photos and helped shape the ongoing debate about the appropriateness of his actions.<\/p>\n<p>For more on this story read the University Post article <a href=\"Node\/13968\" target=\"_blank\">Professor&#8217;s photo scandal<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Theo.Naidoo@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay in the know about news and events happening in Copenhagen by <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">signing up for the University Post\u2019s weekly newsletter here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a high profile lecturer, Vincent Hendricks sparked outrage with his use of sexualized schoolgirls to advertise his logic course at UCPH.
