Would have been better to go with size 888.

Nobody should be chastising strangers at the grocery store. However, there is no need (and really no justification) for society to subsidize consumption of soda.

Watch Midnight in Paris. He is also in a morose vampire movie with Tilda Swinton that is surprisingly good.

I agree that a lot of body parts are culturally sexualized, but am skeptical that there's indeed no "innate" sexualizing effect of displaying, e.g., breasts/butt and (surely will happen one day) vulva/peen. Also, when I talk about culture and fashion becoming porny, I don't just mean that people are showing more…

These are good points which I answer here: http://jezebel.com/is-babs-the-se…

Is Babs the second one? Admittedly that is the one I couldn't place (which is why I qualified comment with: "Most of..."). If you google that dress, though, the camera-flash transparency seems to have been accidental. Also, the dress covers her nipples and most of her butt.

Most of those are deliberately-provocative costumes for stage performances, though. (I am treating everything that Marilyn Manson + Rose McGowan did as a stage performance). These people were not being complimented on their sophisticated, elegant attire while receiving awards from Anna Wintour.

Panic over imagined effects on teen pregnancy rates? Invalid. I have some sympathy, though, for the complaint that popular culture and fashion are becoming vulgar and hypersexualized, and that this dress is a glaring example of that trend.

Maybe Chris Brown could play Gaston.

I'm not asking if your behavior replicated his exactly — just whether you said anything as a dumb teenager that would make you look bigoted if videotaped and aired today. I certainly did. I do think it's normal for kids to find humor in things that are "offensive."

If we videotaped everything you said and did when you were fifteen, would we find nothing racist, sexist, homophobic or otherwise offensive?

our society has turned these males into dejected, misogynistic, hateful people. I'd guess you have pity on females who, subjected to the pressures of society, hate themselves, their bodies, and have low self esteem.

yeah, but you aren't a man

This comports completely with my view (and any lucid view) of the so-called "manosphere," though one tiny point to note is that "an hero" does not necessarily mean "a hero."

What am I wrong about? Are you criticizing me for not reading all the troll comments in this thread?

I'm not a dude, nor a big fan of reddit. I think "kangaroo court" is just a common figure of speech that people use to describe proceedings which, while styled with some trappings of justice or fairness, violate or mock our due process expectations and serve essentially as theatre justifying a predetermined outcome. …

I agree that being expelled and denied a diploma would have a huge negative impact on your life, and it would suck — especially if you didn't do it. But a private institution is also pretty much free to grant/deny diplomas on whatever basis it chooses — when you pay $200k (or whatever it currently costs) to attend…

These aren't court proceedings, but you're adjudicating rights and liabilities worth upwards of (as you've said) $50k. Therefore, it's hard to take off the lawyer hat when discussing due process.

Yeah, but it's not literally his life that's at stake — it's his degree. If the college disclosed, upfront, the procedures by which diplomas could be withheld and if it followed those procedures properly, then he should not have cause to sue. That said, I haven't read the details of the case.

Without due process in a student conduct hearing, a student can successfully sue a college.
