Gay rights became a thing in the early ‘90s? I had no idea this was why Michael Jordan and the Fab Five insisted on wearing long basketball shorts thus changing men’s fashion for the next 20 years

Yes, I’m very confident. The timeline doesn’t match up. Bagginess came about from board shorts (longer and baggier so your leg hair didn’t get caught in surf wax) and athletic wear (started in the 80s with Jordan). Moreover, everything got baggier in the 90s - baggy overalls for women, big chunky sweaters for…
That’s why it pleases me that the British men’s swimsuit is *so much skimpier* than the women’s!
I miss basketball with short shorts, and don’t forget how sexy swim trunks once were before they were “board shorts.”
Putting anything in an unconscious person’s mouth can lead to choking and death. How the heck can endangering someone like that be legal, even if they overlook the sexual aspect?
Straight men starting wearing long shorts in U.S. when gay rights became a thing and they decided it was super gay to show off your body, thereby drastically disappointing all women.
Not only that, but I feel like the choice to say “made sensitive to” over “made aware of” was very deliberate. As in, “oh those silly undergrads, they’re so sensitive.” Because it’s ridiculous, you know, for people to get emotional about sexual assault.
Though you’d think they’d want to hide as much skin as they can... since it is going to be covered in boils from the water. Cabin Fever... olympic style!!
Shit like this makes me want to scream! This poor girl she did everything right and nothing was done for her. And people wonder why women don’t always report rapes. Evidence was on her side!
Right. He says it’s unacceptable except...here you are, accepting it? Or at least, failing to make it clear through your actions that it’s unacceptable. So is that like enough now? We just say it’s unacceptable and then, accept it when it happens and when there’s ample evidence?
That’s the one that stuck out to me too. Like, Kenyon’s administrators have spent the last four years sitting on a beach drinking margaritas, only to stumble groggily into the office this morning and go “WHAT? Sexual assaults are happening at colleges? Who knew? Let’s do something about this!”
This is a model of how to be a good ally.
My favorite line was this: “Over the past 24 hours, the Kenyon community has been made sensitive to issues regarding sexual misconduct.”
It is always really interesting (horrifying) to me that the response to “Hey you are failing your students in how you are conducting this and here is clear cut evidence you are” is met with “we maintain that we are doing everything possible to conduct this investigation and we stand against sexual…
I try to give all of them nicknames anyway, at least if they don’t already have them. Ginsburg is obvs “RBG.” I call Breyer “Justice Ice Cream.”
When I worked for a former senator, his wife sat on some board of somethingrather with Sandra Day O’Conner. They became friends because they were the only women on the board and when the board members traveled, they were made to share a hotel room together, although all the male members got their own rooms. The…
RBG and Sandra Day O’Conner basically look like twins. Who can tell them apart?!
It’s cool and shady at the same time. She’s the best!
“That hasn’t happened in quite some time,” Ginsburg responded
