Think of it this way - 4 years is absurdly short for a teacher who has sex with a 14 year old girl, but might be entirely appropriate for a college student who has sex with a high school junior.

To be fair, he was probably reading one of your posts and just couldn't help himself. #rosebud

We've go an awful lot of educatin' to do.

I've already devised a perfect set of guidelines for what should be taught in history classes.

See? Gold diggers.

When I was in college I met a girl who grew up calling her vagina her "mustard pot".

You are right. They are wrong. It's not debatable. Do not question yourself. Your kid knows stuff she ought to know and is better off for it.

I think we all know what the next move is. Hire Craig T. Nelson to coach the Dolphins.

Seems like the basic sentiment here, harsh though it may be, is

Wait a minute. That's our reputation? That we value personality over looks?

Pfft. Every white girl I knew got cornrows in high school.

I'm so upset that I didn't make this joke.

My biggest concern isn't over their ability to get dates in the short term, but rather that this kind of thing can very well turn out to be Googleable (not a word, sorry) and the accusation can follow them around forever. It can affect grad school, job prospects, etc. It's not their campus rep, that's for sure.

I didn't - I just couldn't get it to appear anywhere other than my notifications list and couldn't respond to it or read all of it bc the end was cut off. Absolutely didn't dismiss it, though. Some kind of Kinja issue.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like I thought all of their lives were going to be systematically dismantled. That was intended to be an expression of what I would like to see actually happen to rapists.

I would concede that it's more fucked up.

I don't propose anything. I don't have a solution and I don't claim to. The fact is that most of the time when a crime is committed, the guilty party goes free and typically nobody is ever charged at all due to lack of evidence. I don't see how this fixes that.

No, it's really not. Rapists deserve every terrible thing they have coming to them. I'm just allowing for the possibility that maybe one of these guys isn't a rapist. I don't even think that's likely, but I do think it's possible. In that case, appearing on a list like this would be pretty fucked up. That's all I'm…

Thanks for the insulting and dismissive sign off. I thought we were having a completely civilized exchange about something that we both agree is a problem but where we disagree about appropriate ways to address that problem. I would like to see these accusations aggressively investigated and, if appropriate,…

Some of them are (in red). The others (in orange) are just on the same list as the accused rapists. What did they do to share space on the list with the accused rapists? And what sort of vetting was done by the people who made the list to ensure the veracity of the whole thing?
