I don't know what kind of assholes he hangs out with, but he is so good at deconstructing exactly what flavor of jerk these people are when I'm just like, I dunno why, he just bugs me.
In an ideal world this would belong in the same category as "The sky is blue" but recent remarks by various Republicans have made it clear this isn't as obvious as it should be.

I had a male person in my life recently tell me, "You just want to be in charge of everything!" referring specifically to my choices regarding my own life, as though that was some kind of giant character flaw. I'm like, duh? Who knows wtf these people are thinking.

What makes you think the Republicans aren't aware of this fact already? This study may simply encapsulate what they find wrong with contraception.
Reddit, property of Conde Nast, a subsidiary of Advance Publications, which publishes shit like Parade magazine and Golf Digest and probably Polo Shirt Quarterly, hosts subreddits that are explicitly for skeever shots that violate the US Video Voyeurism Prevention Act of 2004.
These are the posting guidelines for the upskirts subreddit:
Quote:
New moderator and CHANGED posting guidelines: UNPOSED upskirts ONLY.. lets enjoy the thrill of the forbidden and unintentional view.
And this is US federal law:
Quote:
(a) Whoever, in the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction
of the United States, has the intent to capture an image of a private
area of an individual without their consent, and knowingly does so under
circumstances in which the individual has a reasonable expectation of
privacy, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one
year, or both.
``(b) In this section--
``(1) the term `capture', with respect to an image, means to
videotape, photograph, film, record by any means, or broadcast;
``(2) the term `broadcast' means to electronically transmit
a visual image with the intent that it be viewed by a person or
persons;
``(3) the term `a private area of the individual' means the
naked or undergarment clad genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or
female breast of that individual;
``(4) the term `female breast' means any portion of the
female breast below the top of the areola; and
``(5) the term `under circumstances in which that individual
has a reasonable expectation of privacy' means--
``(A) circumstances in which a reasonable person
would believe that he or she could disrobe in privacy,
without being concerned that an image of a private area
of the individual was being captured; or
``(B) circumstances in which a reasonable person
would believe that a private area of the individual
would not be visible to the public, regardless of whether that
person is in a public or private place.
One thing that has pissed me off about coverage elsewhere is that they are focusing on the "remarkable" apology she received from the redditor, (I am looking at you Huff Post), rather than focusing on the grace and ferocious good will this woman showed in facing her attackers and attempting to educate them.
But yeah, remarkable young woman, remarkable story, and I wish all online exchanges of this nature could have such an amazing outcome.
Oh that makes sense. Conde Nast is evil.
They are the owners of Vogue who totally promised to stop using and representing underaged models as over age, they have since broken this promise twice, and it's not even a year old yet. Teen vogue has been asked by teenagers at least twice to stop retouching their models, the magazine has yet to admit to the practice let alone is willing to stop. Vogue Hommes has recently shown it how it is, with the rare appearance of a women on their cover... being choked by a man.
Frankly one of the big problems is that so many publishers of women's reading hate women.

I was having a hard time trying to quantify this phenomenon, so I made some graphics to help myself out.
The first thing I came up with was this table illustrating the difference in expectations of good or bad behavior between men and women:
There was still something missing, though, and I realized the problem is that it assumes they were on equal footing in the first place. The guy started with the unprovoked attack, and she would have been completely within her rights to be the world's largest asshole about it. But she didn't, because she is a way better woman than I am. So I came up with this sliding scale to represent that:
It took a couple tries for me to figure out how to incorporate that dimension into my initial concept, but I'm happy with this weighted table that I landed on:
So, basically, a guy gets to be a complete douchebag and come away from it looking like a goddamn hero just for eventually learning how to be somewhat decent, only after being caught and called out. Meanwhile the woman who should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for not going nuclear on his ass barely even gets a head-pat, because, hey, that's just how we do.
[Todd Akin]What's a women's studies teacher? Is that like a professor at a gynecology school or something?[/Todd Akin]
I doubt Akin even knows what gynecology is, much less that there are schools you can go to study it. You mean everybody isn't blessed with divine knowledge of Ladybits and How They Work at birth?

I am fascinated by how multiple shots to his front resulted in one bullet hole but only in the front. Then one shot into his back resulted in two bullet holes, but one seemed to match up with the one in the front. Also, teleporting off of the bed and pulling a gun from somewhere in the time it took her to aim.

Erin Hendricks, chief prosecutor in the Dallas County District Attorney’s Sexual Assault Unit from 2007 to 2010, said she could not recall a previous case where a grand jury indicted a SMU student for sexually assaulting another student.
“This case might be one of the first, if not the first of its kind to make it this far in the criminal justice system,” said Hendricks, a graduate of SMU’s Dedman School of Law.
Over the past 25 years, more than 100 SMU students reported being sexually assaulted. Yet as The Daily Campus reported in May, in only one case — the three men who raped Monika Korra in 2009 — were the suspects successfully prosecuted.
Those men were not SMU students. For every sexual assault suspect who is, SMU relies on a system of secret hearings in which the goal is educational — “not an adversarial process of antagonists striving to best one another.”
SMU officials say the system — where all records are kept secret — works well.
“The university is confident in the integrity of its process and its procedures,” SMU spokesperson Kent Best said Thursday.
I remember reading the expose referenced in the editor's note years ago. I want to say it was in 2003 or 4. I tried to find it but the archives seem to be gone. I will keep looking for it.
But yeah, this is disgusting. Systematic cover up of sexual assault ongoing for at least 25 years. I am glad to see this story is getting some national and international coverage and I hope it will bring some of these practices to light.
This made me lol a bit, cuz SMU already received the death penalty from the NCAA, 2 years of no football, for paying players.
When Sanduski story broke, people speculated that Penn state might receive the death penalty, so the whole, smu might go the way of penn state struck me as funny.
