Dr Wolper: Look! First day of classes. Undergraduate female bottoms as far as the eye can see. In two weeks time, all the really choice bottoms will be in the hands, so to speak, of the varsity ath-uh-letes.

I think that claiming Dr. Wolper is/isn't a sexist based on one particular comment would be a dangerous generalization. I see a very loving, caring individual here. Perhaps his one remark that you quoted is bad, but we should not be so quick to judge his character based on one remark in an entire movie...

===
Boris: You know, Harry, I'm still trying to find the big picture but I keep missing it because I am so in love with Barbara that nothing else matters.
Dr Harry Wolper: What makes you think you are missing it?
===
Dr Harry Wolper: Another of the dilemmas "in which we are all", Pavlo, is that there are too many damn machines around here. We're all missing The Big Picture.

Meli: [in the buffet line at a formal party] I really mean it, Dr Wolper. I want us to get married.
Dr Harry Wolper: Meli! You still call me "Dr Wolper".
Meli: So? What's that supposed to mean? When I met you, you were Dr Wolper, and that's the way I got to know you. So don't go making any big goddam deal outta that, too. I'm just a formal-type person. If I were sleeping with the king of France I'd say, "That was very nice sex, Your Highness. Thank you for banging me, Your Majesty."
===
Dr Harry Wolper: I don't think I'd like to be God, not that I'm turning down any offers mind you. But there are six billion people on this planet and I still feel alone. Imagine being One God.

Dr Harry Wolper: I tell you Sid, that one of these days we'll look in to our microscope and find ourselves staring right into God's eyes, and the first one who blinks is going to lose his testicles.

Hey DW:

I personally wouldn't be saying this or quoting this in front of a woman or a man for that reason. Whether or not Dr Wolper is sexist, who knows, but this quote doesn't particularly make him Women Studies Professor of the Year.
