The lawyer for a member of a Facebook group accused of
posting hateful comments about female members of Dalhousie's dentistry class
says his client has been treated unfairly by the school and blew the whistle on
his classmates.
Bruce MacIntosh is representing Ryan Millet, a fourth-year
dentistry student and one 13 members of the now defunct Class of DDS 2015
Gentlemen on Facebook.
MacIntosh says in a statement that Millet took a stand
against posts he deemed offensive and encouraged other group members to remove
them, but was sanctioned by Dalhousie University soon after the comments came
to light.
He says the married father of three young children also
apologized to female classmates who were targeted in the misogynistic posts.
According to the CBC, members of the group voted on which
woman they'd like to have "hate" sex with, joked about using
chloroform on women and showed a woman in a bikini with a caption that says,
"Bang until stress is relieved or unconscious (girl)."
MacIntosh says Millet will go before a disciplinary hearing
Tuesday to argue a suspension of his dentistry clinic privileges should be
lifted and that he has the support of one of the women featured in the posts.
MacIntosh says neither he or Millet will discuss the matter
before Tuesday's hearing.
