Study: Sexual harassment At U.S. colleges.

Man, I went to the wrong college:

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.

Tucker Carlson claims that it's weird that Ted Cruz is interested in the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, because he has "no track record of being interested in Christians," then blows off the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, saying it might or might not be a real concern
Tucker Carlson enjoys using the left-wing tactic of "Tactical Ignorance" to avoid taking positions on topics. Is Hamas really a terrorist organization? Tucker can't say. He hasn't looked into it enough, but "it seems like a political organization to me." Are Muslims slaughtering Christians in Nigeria? Again, Tucker just doesn't know. He hasn't examined the evidence yet. He knows every Palestinian Christian who said he was blocked from visiting holy sites in Bethlehem, but he just hasn't had the time to look into the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria that has been going on since (checks watch) 2009. He doesn't know, so he can't offer an opinion. Wouldn't be prudent, you know? Don't rush him! He'll sift through the evidence at some point in the future and render an opinion sometime around 2044.
Of course, if you need an opinion on Jewish Perfidy, he has all the facts at his fingertips and can give you a fully informed opinion pronto. Say, have you ever heard of the USS Liberty incident...?
You'd think that the main issue for Tucker Carlson, who pretends to be so deeply concerned about Palestinian Christians being bullied by Jews in Israel (supposedly), would be the massacre of 185,000 Christians in Nigeria itself. But no, his main problem is that Ted Cruz is talking about it, "who has no track record of being interested in Christians at all." And then he just shrugs as to whether this is even a real issue or not.
Whatever we do we must never "divide the right," huh?
Tucker is attacking Ted Cruz for bringing the issue up because he's acting as an apologist for Jihadism, and he can't cleanly admit that Jihadists are killing any Christians, anywhere. There is no daylight between him and CAIR at this point.
One might conclude that Tucker Carlson himself isn't interested in the plight of Christians -- except as they can be used as a cudgel to attack Jews.
Just gonna ask an Interesting Question myself -- why is it that Tucker Carlson's arguments all track with those shit out by Qatarian propaganda agents and the far left? That if Jews crush an ant underfoot it is worldwide news, but when Muslims slaughter Christians it elicits not even a vigorous shrug?
Garth Merenghi is interviewed by the only man who can fathom his ineffable brilliance -- Garth Merenghi
From the comments:
I once glimpsed Garth in the penumbra betwixt my wake and sleep. He was in my dream, standing afar, not looking my way, nor did he acknowledge me. But I felt seen. And that's when I knew I was a traveler on the right path. I'm glad he's still with us.

Now that's some Merenghian prose.
Garth Merenghi on the writer's craft

Greetings, Traveler. If you still have not experienced Garth Merenghi -- Author, Dream-weaver, Visionary, plus Actor -- the six episodes of his Darkplace are still available on YouTube and supposedly upscaled to HD. (Viewing it now, it doesn't appeared upscaled for shit.)
I think the second episode, "Hell Hath Fury," is the best by a good margin. Try to at least watch through to that one. It's Mereghi's incisive but nuanced take on sexism.

Update on Scott Adams:
Scott Adams had approval for this cancer drug but they hadn't scheduled him to get it. He was taking a turn for the worse. Trump had told him to call if he needed anything, so he did. Talked to Don Jr (who is in Africa) , then RFK Jr, then Dr Oz. Someone talked to Kaiser and he was scheduled. Shouldn't have needed it but he did and he says it saved his life.
