Just quick wanted to acknowledge the cool way you handled this. Lots of people on the internet get waaaay to entrenched in their arguments and won't accept any new information. You were flexible and rational. Yaay, reasoned discourse!

Still, I explained why the punishment doesn't fit her transgression.

Well, I'm getting awfully sick of people being given advice to protect themselves and coming back with "Yea well I shouldn't HAVE TO" protect myself, so I'm not going to.

You really think women who believe we shouldn't have to protect ourselves don't protect ourselves? You're really making that equivalence? You think we don't carry knives in our purses or rape whistles on our keychains? You think we don't avoid certain people? You think we don't choose not to engage with men who…

So you're saying he's confusing drunken hookups where the woman later regrets it and "cries rape" with sexual assault? How often does that really happen? I mean, going by statistics, around 8% are "unfounded," which, according to the FBI is basically meaningless:

The problem with so many of these pieces of advice is that they flat out don't work.

You tried, troll. It didn't really work, though. You need to be a little more creative if you want to be believed.

It's inappropriate no matter where it is. If it's supposed to stop kids from being distracted, slapping a neon yellow shirt on them is not going to help.

If it was anything like my school, she would have been given her student handbook on her first day, after she was already at school in the clothes she had chosen.

Exactly, and with the "no visible underwear" rule, you take care of the style which is generally worn by young men which involves sagging pants to expose their underwear.

Is she, though? I read it more as being frustrated that when someone else made her uncomfortable at work, she got fired for it. Maybe it's immature to take to the internet, but I don't think she's angry because she thought sexual assault was taking place there.

Nothing changes if they don't wake up. I understand your point and I know education is important, but it's not always down to us. I realize we have to start somewhere, but at a certain point, it becomes an excuse for these men who can (and do) say, "How am I supposed to know if you don't teach me?" which can…

But, as I said, is it really our responsibility to always be the educators, or be representatives for feminism? It's important to strike a balance between educating those who need it and doing other things that feminism is supposed to do. We can't devote all our time to educating men who, for whatever circumstance,…

I get what you're saying, I really do. There are funny rape jokes. I'm the first to admit it. Usually the funnier ones for em are the ones that call into question the culture that condones rape. Louis C.K. has some very smart and funny rape jokes.

Yeah, but you can't educate people who already think they have all the answers. These people here don't think there's anything missing in their worldview, so it's impossible to teach them.

But that's unprofessional. It should be a professional work environment where everyone feels safe, right? I get that these places can be laid back, but you can't work properly without a certain level of professionalism. And that starts with treating all of your fellow employees like human beings.

I don't think it's unreasonable to want to know, when there's a place where you work called the "rape room," why someone would call it that. It's not really a funny joke, and I can see why she would at least ask about it. She asked and then was fired. Maybe she should have gone through other channels, but you can't…

I'm not sure it was 'shopped. Contouring makeup can do really amazing things. It's used widely by drag queens to create a more feminine facial structure, but it can be used by those playing a masculine character to change the features as well. I don't think they'd photoshop the face much because then people would…

It's pretty amazing what makeup can do. When you learn how to contour the face to present as either masculine or feminine, you can create a very convincing illusion. It's what drag queens and kings do.

Herd mentality and cruelty? Based on what? Oh, right, her gender. Would he say "I'm going to drink blood out of your cunt." to a man? Presumably not.
