Overreaction by Harvard.
Overreaction by Harvard.
Why?
Why?
You don't think women make
You don't think women make lewd comments about men? They are just better about keeping it in their clique out of public scrutiny.
What do think they talk about in the ladies room with their friends?
Wow.
It's pretty common to encounter misogyny, or even people who have clearly never had more than a passing conversation with a member of the opposite sex, but rare is the day when someone will publicly admit to never even having *talked to* a woman. Bravo, anon. Do us a favor and stay home on election day, yeah?
What to make for dinner, of
What to make for dinner, of course! Just kidding. It's nail polish and shoes. Right? Bueller?
Do these ladies put it in
Do these ladies put it in writing and circulate among the team and their friends? And do this annually for several years? Do they put it in a place that could be accessed by the public if they happened to look?
If this were just "locker room talk," we wouldn't be reading about it.
hmm
yes i believe its called MASH
misogyny gone wild
we're more likely to talk about our periods or the weather than we are about how attractive (or not) men are.
I've spent inordinate amounts of time in women's locker rooms and I have never once heard comments about men's bodies.
As a woman, I can tell you
As a woman, I can tell you that my friends and I don't assign ratings to men or talk about them in a sexually aggressive manner. We just don't.
Actually most of the talk is
Actually most of the talk is around how bad we have to pee, how are periods are killing us, if someone has a tampon or advil (you know so we can place it between our knees), how this gross guy called us a bitch b/c we didn't respond to their catcalling or how a dude rubbed up against us on the train. But really the biggest topic is how great it is to have our bathroom talk mansplained to us!
If they're like guys...
I assume they go about their business silently and trying not to make eye contact.
We don't talk.
We enter, change, shower and leave.
Probably no.
Cause most men in locker rooms (per my husband who frequents them) also do not.
And, in any case, they would probably not create a "scouting report" ranking the men/women and what sexual position(s) they would be best at.
What?
Nervous it's about you? Or nervous it's NOT about you?
Hate to burst your bubble, the world does not revolve around you. I promise.
Because it's just "locker
Because it's just "locker room talk" right? Just boys being boys? Maybe next time they should just grab their pussy b/c as we all know women are just objects to be looked at, judged and touched whenever and however men would like.
Another example of the mindset of men/boys not having to take responsibility for their actions.
***Drumroll*** Let the flaming of this post begin!
Crazytown
Some college-aged guys talked about how attractive women were? AND sexual positions?? Nooooo! They're lucky they weren't expelled and thrown into prison!
Ha. Ha.
Your dismissal of what is proper and/or tasteful and/or appropriate and/or best behavior and/or...is disconcerting.
more than talk
They didn't just talk about it, according to the article. They created a list of "that year’s women’s soccer recruits, rating them numerically and assigning each a hypothetical sexual position." And, the document was "publicly accessible through the 2012 team’s Google Group."
If you don't know the difference ...
I think you might need some consequences/revoked privileges to sharpen your critical thinking skills.
This more than crosses the line into harassment.
Ugh!
It's 2016 guys. Sigh.
You can always tell a Harvard Man
But you can't tell him much!
Y'know ...
Maybe if I hadn't overused that joke so much in the past, I might have used a variant for this story.
It's hard for a guy to be a 10
When they're flat out douches.
And off to Wall Street they go!
Our future masters.
Harvard Athletes
Are the Harvard soccer team players held to the same academic admissions standards as other students, or does being a soccer player let them cut in line ahead of non-athletes with better academic credentials?
Yes, they're just regular Harvard students
Harvard's not one of those Division 1 schools; athletes don't even get athletic scholarships, if you can imagine.
Intelligence != good judgement
They both need to be developed, but that doesn't always happen. I got away with some spectacularly bad judgement that my trailer court peers did not because I was a top student. Our society tends to cut breaks for both rich kids and good students, and that isn't necessarily a good thing when it comes to stuff like sexual harassment.
How utterly
Porcellan of them.
