OK no. That was a facebook post.

Not true, there's been and is scientific research about this - Duke U has a canine cognition center and their work is extensive. My dog has been a research subject there. Dogs know and feel waaaay more than previously thought.

I have to be honest though - I was really bothered by the fact they told Koko he died. There was just zero reason to do that, and the gorilla is a sentient being who didn't need that information - they just wanted to see how she would react. So they are trolls.

I had the same thought.

You are absolutely the worst commenter I've ever run across on Jezebel in terms of substance - just zero ability to comprehend, well, anything. Should have paid more attention to those standardized test results in grade school. It's amazing. Regardless, I have to go to a meeting now - there are men at the meeting - if

Wow, i had no idea that feminism meant we had to hold women to lower standards..funny me, I thought we were always shooting for equality!

You couldn't possibly have known this, but, here's where I mention that at age 22 I testified against my boss in a coworker's sexual harassment lawsuit. Thanks for the chuckle.

Nobody need wear a scarlet A, but if the student or employee is an adult, yep they are responsible for their actions too if they got involved and he was married. If they are children, nope, but that's another issue entirely.

You're the only one screaming; the rest of us are discussing/debating. Maybe you could come back when you are old enough to vote.

She didn't have ALL the power.

What IS your definition of feminism, anyway? Genuinely curious, because it sure doesn't seem to match that of those who paved the way (I'm not one of them, just share their philosophy). I'm wondering if this is generational.

You think a 22-year-old woman is incapable of resisting his charms. That's sad, and scary. I don't care either way whether people are sympathetic to her - what does make me furious is the idea that she couldn't say no, and that she was a kid who isn't responsible for her choices. Really, it's anything but

OK but then you would have been screwing up by doing that. I made PLENTY of bad decisions at 22 as well. I take responsibility for my part in making those decisions. You wouldn't deserve to be flogged for a lifetime because of doing what she did, but she messed up and that should be said first.

that's ridiculous, he was shamed in both, and I'm not shaming her. I'm saying she is an adult and responsible for her actions. Clearly you are 12. (it's you I'm shaming)

I testified against my boss when I was her age.

So, you think that women are weak?

I'll say what I said in another comment - I don't understand why people are interpreting criticism of her as the critic absolving him. Who absolved him? The only thing I can come up with is that some/many of you are looking at him through the eyes of his reputation today. Trust me, at the time he got shamed plenty. If

He's not great at compassion.

My GOD yes. Agree 100%.

I'm genuinely not getting how so many of you are interpreting the criticism toward her as meaning he's not criticized as well. He has been this entire time. That doesn't mean she doesn't get to get some more flack, considering she's publicly discussing it. What happened to the feminists on this page?
