Joanne Marrow, a lesbian psychology professor at Sacramento State University in California, gave a lecture titled "The Anatomy and Function of the Clitoris." The lecture, according to several outraged students, included jokes about male genitals, personal anecdotes about her experiences with sex toys and slides comparing young girls' genitals to those of women who had experienced "the mutilation that goes along with having a child."

Student Craig Rogers said the course content made him "want to vomit," and he responded by filing a $2.5 million sexual harassment suit against the state of California, alleging that Marrow created a "hostile, offensive or otherwise adverse environment" in violation of university rules. Rogers, a devout Christian and father of two, said he did not oppose the course content itself, just the way it was presented. California's Board of Control, which oversees complaints against the state, dismissed Rogers' complaint and advised him to sue the school directly, an option he has not yet decided whether to pursue.

When asked why he didn't walk out on the offending lecture, Rogers explained that he thought the material would be on a test.
