Study: Sexual harassment At U.S. colleges.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) -- Nearly two-thirds of U.S. college students are affected by sexual harassment -- ranging from offensive jokes and gestures to touching and grabbing, according to a study released on Tuesday.

Men are more likely to harass than women, but women and men are equally likely to be harassed on U.S. campuses, according to a report by the American Association of University Women.

Researchers found that 62 percent of college students experienced sexual harassment, and 32 percent of college students said they were victims of physical harassment.

"The primary form of harassment that we're seeing is actually non-contact: it tends to be remarks, gestures and jokes," Elena Silva, the report's co-author, said in a telephone interview. "But the fact that one-third of college students are experiencing some form of physical harassment is certainly a concern."

So, the primary form of harassment is. . . flirting? Yeah, I could see how that would be a real hassle.

Obviously, if there's something more serious going on here, there is "room for concern." But who here seriously believes that this study isn't lumping in all sorts of innocuous behavior in order to make the "problem" seem worse than it is?

Besides, merely *asking* a woman to salt her neck and place the shot glass between her lips isn't sexual harassment. Asking her 47 times, however, might cross that line. (Thank God she said yes after only 23 times, whew).

Common types of physical harassment include being touched, grabbed or pinched in a sexual way, or intentionally brushing up against someone in a sexual way, the study found.

Sigh.

I sure wish someone would harass ME right now.

I guess you never learned about playing hard to get. Keep saying things like that, and you'll never be anything more than a 2:00am booty call. Or is that what you want, you wanton hussy?

Beloved, my life is but to serve you. The salt shaker is right here.

Hey college students! Lighten the fuck up!

I hate to see these bogus studies published as it trivializes the problem of sexual harassment. Everybody knows from their own experience that these stats cannot be true. So when real sexual harassment happens people just dismiss it as a flirty look or a touch on the elbow.

You could always find a quiet place light a few candles, put on some Kenny G, lie on your arm until it is numb and then harrass yourself.

I went to a college that was two-thirds gay, and still no one tried to squeeze my honkers, not even to check the built-in support.

It's enough to bruise a girl's ego.

mary,

I'm willing to step up and salve your injured pride by giving the Amazing Wonder Twins some gentle attention. That's just the kind of guy I am.

...still no one tried to squeeze my honkers...

It's enough to bruise a girl's ego.

So, a little physical bruising would have meant less emotional bruising? I never knew I was a minuteman in the war for womens' mental health. Well, I knew I was a minuteman in terms of staying power, I just didn't know that I was a heroic volunteer fighting for my community.

Geeeeez, Dave.... Lessee, here.
You asked her 23 times... and each time she had a shotglass in her face?

Consider yourself lucky, do you?

I know of damned few women who won't say 'yes' after 23 shots, dig?

Posted by: Bithead on January 24, 2006 12:25 PM

"honkers"?

Posted by: Darwin on January 24, 2006 12:34 PM

What can I say? She was a big girl.

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 24, 2006 12:46 PM

How about posting nude pictures in a public place? Does that constitute sexual harrassment?

Posted by: Hal on January 24, 2006 12:47 PM

Far more serious -- and always has been -- is the sexual exploitation of students by faculty, who in many cases seem to regard the 'student body' as their personal harem. Also: Quid-pro-quo is sexual bribery where students buy good grades for sex, or extortion where they avoid bad grades, with sex. Most university faculty I've met seem to consider this arrangement peachy keen and an expected perk.

JimO -

I was given good grades by professors in return for NOT having sex with them.

Posted by: steve_in_hb on January 24, 2006 01:19 PM

Hal, why do you want to know?

Posted by: vivi on January 24, 2006 01:25 PM

Do you still get good grades for bad sex? I mean poorly performed sex rather than the use of a David Hasselhoff doll and a toilet plunger.

In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):

Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO

Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.

The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.

If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.

I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.

I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.

For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.

BREAKING: Lance Twiggs says that Robinson admitted to him in-person on Sept. 11 that the message he had sent the night before (presumably, messages sent while he was trying to retrieve his rifle the night of Sept 10) was true. He says Robinson told him "He wishes he hadn't done it."

@FenixAmmunition

Photos of the ammunition recovered from Tyler Robinson.

Remington headstamp on the case and despite the somewhat low resolution on the photo you can see the somewhat blunted nature of the projectile's tip.

This is a Remington Cor-Lokt soft point round. It's SPECIFICALLY designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound. Available at literally every single gun store and sporting goods store that sells ammunition.

In fact, 16 out of the 17 .30-06 varieties manufactured by Remington use some type of expanding, deforming, or fragmenting bullet. Only ONE of their products uses a full metal jacket projectile that could/would be expected to leave an exit wound.

Here's a clip of them sitting in my desk.

This has been the most easily debunked claim of their entire web of lies and it's really mind blowing considering this is exactly what you would choose for an assassination.

But yeah, definitely keep getting all your information from the DEI hire and the Portland pizza boy. I'm sure they know more about this than I do.

Post here, showing Tyler Robinson's ammunition, matching this guy's own box. And it is an expanding-tip hollow-point round.

Boy these Internet Experts (TM) sure do get a lot of things wrong.

The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound

Thru tarmac, to the sun again
Boy do they look like absolute dorks.
