Oh, great, upstanding parent. And you snark at someone else about being a “pillar of your community.” You’d allow your daughter to wear it in the first place? You’d not let her know, if she’s that ignorant, that wearing it is advertising that she’d welcome such jokes?
Or maybe you’re one of those parents these days who would never say those things to your kid because you might hurt their feelings, and would never try to tell them they shouldn’t wear something. This level of hypocrisy is so rampant these days, it’s sickening.
I have daughters and I have grown, adult granddaughters. If any of them had tried to wear a shirt like that, they’d have heard about it from me, even after they were adults. I’d have tried to impress on them the potential consequences. I certainly wouldn’t have been trying to draw & quarter those who gave them the expected responses. I was a young girl myself once upon a time, and my mother would have had a fit if I ever tried to wear a shirt like that. And here you are claiming that it’s everyone’s fault except yours and hers.

Not just their fault, but they are owed impending violence/stalking as well.
Funny how no matter how “progressive” people try to become, they can’t shake the hardwired facets of humanity, like fathers zealously protecting their daughters. However, because they’ve replaced their moral compasses with weather cocks, they end up chivalrously charging into the wrong things, repeatedly.

I often read things aloud out of habit. I could have read her shirt and been accused of harassment.

Oh you could have been doubly harassing her:
- You were intently staring at her chest to read the words
- You read the words aloud
SHAME ON YOU HERACLIUS

If you allow your 16 year old to wear a sex joke t-shirt in public you are a pathetically horrible parent and need to be in jail. I would seriously question whether or not you had pedo tendencies if you let your own child do that.

Yeah, this is a huge issue. The instinct exists as a holdover of tribal human evolution but the fact that people lack self control to the degree that they can seem constantly controlled by their ego’s need to identify as a righteous person without living by the the logical principles required to actually KNOW what is good and just act because of it is pretty annoying.

And isn’t it funny how sexual harassment policy ensures that women are being returned to their old status of “delicate flowers” who must be protected from assault by male lechers. Despite so many years of progressive feminism, we’re still demanding special treatment for women.
The amount of logic in this thread makes me think I’m at the Vulcan Consulate. Where my girl t’pol at
Yes but this is because good men generally actually want to protect good women (aside from the weird dynamics that go on between dishonest abused snakes trying to take advantage of other abused people), more than they want to protect other men. The instinct is fine to be honest, the progressive feminism was wrong in the first place.
But if I yell a lot and gesture with my hands like I’m waving at something then I don’t have to justify my feelings!!
Funny and inevitable. So long as these kinds of things operate under a “us vs them” ideological lens, there is never an end to any of it. Each new “victory” towards equality just generates a new detail that is unequal and we have to redraw the lines (again and again and again). That’s why the Paglia’s and Sommer’s of yesteryear are nothing like the modern activists. Back then men and women got treated differently, so everyone pushed to break down those walls. Now when treated the same, innate differences rear up and must be compensated for… and round and round and round we go.
Always fighting, never really winning anything.

Blizzard got banned from the Blackhat hacker convention.
Did they really get banned? I didn’t read that far.
Except for the fact her boss got Blizzard banned from Blackhat and has receipts.
The funny thing is that’s how you feel about ALL women.

According to the story, she simply reported Blizzard 2 years after the fact and Black Hat’s organizers unilaterally denied them as a future sponsor. The “receipts” are just the fact that her boss believed her and sent a nonsense demand letter to Blizzard, to which Blizzard responded with “Talk to our lawyers” and nothing more came of it.
The entire debacle is a she-said incident that barely registers and yet two different groups decided the best course of action was to just… mindlessly go for blood.

I didn’t read that far into the story. That is some wild stuff right there. I wonder why this got no press until recently?
There are more and more regular posters defending sexual harassment and sexual assault on the forums.
They’re so adamant about it I’ve become convinced they’re defending the skeletons in their own closets.

Because there’s blood in the water now and the sharks are circling. There are those who are seeing dollar signs and/or attention-potential in front of their eyes.
I have not seen many people on the forums defending rape culture as much as I have seen people trying to rationally wait for the actual facts to come out in court.
The court of public opinion, especially thanks to media misinformation, has been wrong too many times to count.
I am guilty of pre-judging myself. When I saw the 'cosby suite photo" I wanted every dude in that picture to burn in hellfire.
Even rationally knowing that I do not nearly have all the facts I have still convicted blizzard in my own mind.
I think it is a good thing to have counter opinions on topics this important so that we all remember to keep thinking things through, instead of just choosing our tribe.
