anyone else get the feeling this is the administration trying to punish students for speaking up, and disguise it as giving them what they want? cuz that's what it reeks of to me.

No. It's not your fault. I wasn't trying to imply that. Even if if someone did see your post and run with the idea, they made that choice, not you. You're not responsible for someone else's shitty decisions. There's not a point in taking it down either.

That thing is posted by "Jezebel staff" and all the writers have commented on it. So Denton would have to fire the full staff at Jez, and the commenters would go with them.

Good old government leave! My mum learnt her lesson with me - for my sister, she took a two year secondment to the Civil Service just as she started trying to get pregnant and made use of it herself. (whilst still on her crazy bank salary). Talk about playing the system.

Being fair is a hassle. Following laws is a hassle. It would be much easier to be a complete jerk and act like a caveman. Society however has deemed it necessary to put some limits on the person's natural jerkiness.

YES. We need to have a serious discussion about the militarization of the police force in this country. They drive tanks and carry weapons used on the battle fields of Iraq. They wear all black and hide behind mirror aviators. They have urban military tactical suppression and demolition training. This is about…

I never thought about what it would be like for you, the staff, to deal with this ..... I am very, very proud of you for writing this and bring a team. It's not easy to go up against an employer. If there's anything the ready of us can do to persuade Gawker Media to take this seriously, let us know.

Seconded. I'm a little chilled and chastened that I've been watching this unfold without a thought for the women who run the site. It's a lesson for me.

It sounds like this work environment is unsafe and hostile due to sexual imagery about which you have informed your bosses multiple times. Maybe a letter or something more forceful from an attorney is in order here. That, or —like, hire comment mods that are paid and willing to do this work.

I feel terrible that in the time I felt bad for myself as a commenter here I didn't even think of the impact on all of you. I can just step away from the mainpage. All of you have to sit there and look for those terrible images in order to dismiss and ban the burner.

"It could also answer a question that remains a mystery: why did dog domestication change canines so much, whereas cat domestication didn't change cats much at all?"

The moment a corporation pays you a wage, no matter how low, the rest of them bite and scratch and claw to get it back.

So "cleansed her of seven demons" is what they called it back in JC's day? Next time I'm on Tinder, maybe I'll ask "Christ is My Lord And Savior" guy who asks me if I do anal if it will cleanse me of seven demons.

Maybe they could take up removing planks from their own eyes.

You spelled "its" wrong. Twice.

Seems like more of a Stoner thing than a Dad thing. Although admittedly there is often a very fine line between them.

Listen, I'm a brown person so I get that dick faces will take any example of bad behavior from a single member of a (usually oppressed) subgroup and say 'SEE I TOLD U BLACKS ARE CRIMINALS.' But I 100% don't care. Anyone who wants to dismiss the idea of equality between the sexes based on someone saying 'dudes are the…

Not essential items? I say for 1 month all women boycott menstral products. We don't wear 'em. We leave pools of blood on subway seats, clots on the seats in restaurants, and splotches on the benches in malls and parks. Yup we walk around with big red stains on our clothes, we bike around with blood trickling down…

I personally chuckle at whether or not the cashier wonders what I'm doing with all of the stuff that I'm buying along with the condoms. Razors? Goldfish crackers? A snickers bar? Freaky.
