Exactly. I so wish he had. This is an urgent, SHAMEFUL situation. And it is all but ignored. I’m horrified.

I think we vehemently agree, coming at it from different angles. I guess I don’t hold him in high “badassery” regard.

Well, sure, if she were a MAN with her record, she’d be killing it.

This is why I do not hold Obama in high regard as a president. He has been great as a “cool” president, and has shown great “Dad”-ness, but he does not have a lot of political courage. Appointing Republicans, nominating right-leaning Merrick Garland for Supreme Court, trying too hard to compromise - all that got us…

“Panties” is a word that needs to be stricken from the English language.

You’re hilarious. I’m 56, 6 years past menopause, and except for vaginal dryness and not bleeding every month, am still the exact same woman I’ve always been.

Which is completely unrelated to the fact that the Harvard president’s being a woman is tremendously important to this story.

My 84-year-old dad never has.

“testosterone” is bullshit as an excuse. I’m loaded with female hormones, yet I’ve never felt the urge to shove my breast in some stranger’s mouth because my hormones made me act all nurture-y.

I think they DO understand, and get off on that very fact!

My dad’s 84 and would never even dream of saying anything sexually inappropriate to ANYONE. This guy’s excuse that he’s “old” and therefore doesn’t know any better is total bullshit.

Okay ... I personally am laughing SO HARD at this right now.

Reading is fundamental.

Sigh. Deadspin is a cesspool. Deadspin is constant, unrelenting proof of Lewis’s Law.

Sad to see you “defending” women by pulling out the tired, insulting, “soccer mom” trope. Yes, yes. These men engaged in hateful, misogynist behavior because their mons drove them to soccer practice when they were in elementary school.

Not to mention referring to women as “fresh female meat.”

I think I love you.

Oh, yeah, “girls” are the problem here. Right.

Oh, absolutely. Because misogyny is primarily the purview of “soccer moms.”

We can be blasé about “gender” when women are no longer harassed, excluded, passed over, ignored, legislated against, beaten up, raped, and murdered solely because of our perceived reproductive capability.
