At the time, there was a great interest in being able to culture human cells in a petri dish, but scientists at the time didn’t really know how - what cells to use, how to make them survive, how to make them replicate, etc. Immortal cell lines were especially sought after because they would allow for better…

What does that even mean?

It starts with consent. From a young age, we can teach that consent is a good thing in relationships. It’s a connection. For little kids, it’s giving a friend a hug only if they would be receptive or asking if you can share their toys before jumping into play. We innately understand wanted connection versus unwanted,…

I agree, surveillance of incidents make it harder for rapists to explain away some of their behavior, but I’m not sure that it accounts for the uptick in reports. Maybe it’s as you say and more people are less willing to brush this aside or to be seen doing so. I guess I’ll count that as progress.

From what I have read, forced sterilizations in the U.S. continued well into the 1970s. That wasn’t just an old-timey, turn-of-the-century eugenics program. This continued to happen after we put a man on the moon, after we got color television, and after we launched space craft to leave the solar system.

- More women joining the military

I’m betting the response to this by some right wing misogynists is “Boys will be boys. This just shows that “girls” don’t belong in the military, except maybe as nurses to military doctors.”

I think it’s always been a toxic environment, and suspect the actual numbers of incidents hasn’t changed much, but with the internet, smartphones, and increased public awareness, there is both more evidence of the wrongdoing, it’s more likely to get leaked to people who aren’t rape sympathizers, and hopefully it’s…

I dunno why sensible adults care about this stuff. I like nudie pictures as much as the next person, but certainly not from someones personal, private stash that’s been stolen, that’s just massive breach of trust and privacy. There is nothing appealing about a picture that was meant for someone else or those weird,…

Don’t forget that we live in a society that shames women for having sex but praises men for having constant sex. It is an absolute recipe for disaster.

stemming from a misogynistic culture society that has been unchanged for years.

But talking about sex makes kids interested in having sex!

Going macro for a sec, but why isn’t there a market for “follow up news”? So many stories like this cross our busy radars, and we never really find out how they play out over the long haul. Retards that already slowly bending arc of moral history. Frustrating, unnecessary. #worstpractices

Yeah, and it’s a weird fascination to have. We all know what women look like naked, more or less. If you want to see a naked woman, there are plenty who put those images out there and give their consent for people to look. This celebrity nude pics leaking thing is just misogyny, a way to shame these women.

and the notorious Tommy Lee sex tape, and the Ray J sex tape, and the Joe Francis sex tape. Think of how humiliated those men must have been! Oh wait, sex and nudity is only shameful if you’re a woman, nvmnd

Apple and iCloud need to get their security act together. I’m guessing it’s another social engineering hack.

I’m a bad person for chuckling at “Justin Long”. Or just lacking in maturity.

Your private parts never really belong to you when men want to look at them, after all.

I’m preemptively depressed for all of the “well then don’t take naked photos of yourself!” news coverage this hack will produce.
