I think you meant to say "deprived." But yeah, to the extent that various written and unwritten codes of conduct would try to have us pretend to be perpetually "nice" and asexual to each other in nearly all public…
Sometimes I think that Romanians (and people who have lived under genuinely despotic regimes) are the only ones who really understand American politics.
Apparently you don't hang in bars too often. If you're at a bar and you're ruining the vibe in any way, you need to get out. If you don't leave when asked, you will be gently but firmly escorted to the door. It's just…
Adria, can you please do us all a huge favor and provide for us the exact wording of both the "dongle" and "forking" remarks that were made? All we have so far are assertions that these remarks were sexual in nature,…
Thanks. It's been hard to tell sometimes, in this thread.
You know, we don't actually know what they said. And that's the single most astonishingly under-emphasized fact about this whole ridiculous "discussion."
This is so true. Mind you, I run with a fairly politically-charged crowd -- pro-feminist, pro-gay, firmly anti-racist and anti-sexist -- the kind of people who wouldn't think twice of throwing you out of a bar,…
That's not bravery. It's just cheap anti-intellectualism.
Fabrication of evidence -- referring specifically to the "forking" joke that wasn't -- goes well outside the bounds of making a simple "mistake."
Thanks (so it was 6 days before her "outing" those guys, not the day after). Either way, the hypocrisy she exhibits is quite astounding. Those in glass houses...
a picture of a misogynist... Jeez. Do you have the raw text of the "dongle" joke available? If not, then on what basis are you labeling this person as a misogynist? Really now -- you're making a specific, and highly…
But shucks, it "feels" like it's true. Therefore, in the poster's mind, it is.
I believe she's being a hypocrite by taking offense one day, and making her own penis joke on Twitter the next. I can't find anything resembling a penis joke in her recent Twitter feed.
Also, wordplay on forking a repo is particularly anti-social. Would you care to recite the exact wording used in the forking remark for us? Otherwise, how are we to know that it was "wordplay", or otherwise anti-social…
Period. Full stop. Not. There are also issues of fabricated evidence and due process involved.
Life has such beautiful symmetry, at times.
