I don't think this article is saying that women only drink because of male peer pressure. It's just exploring how male party culture impacts women. I love drinking independently of anyone or thing else, but I've also felt the pressure to overindulge in the past to fit in in my male-dominated field. To acknowledge that…

As I said to Omar, many faculty on campuses are not actually mandated reporters, and in my last academic position, I was not. So no, I would not have had to report. I also disagree entirely that having someone to talk to is the same as being abused. I never would have reported that happened to me had my PhD adviser…

It's my understanding that not every employee of the university is considered a 'responsible employee' to whom mandatory reporting applies. I explicitly wasn't in my last academic position, and that was made clear to me in my orientation materials.

I've never personally witnessed this, but it's unsurprising. Many women I went to grad school with were told by people in the department and HR people that they were getting reputations for being 'troublemakers' by pressing on harrassment claims. I've heard about department heads refusing to even deal with…

I dunno! I'm kind of inclined to say that what distinguishes mansplaining is that the condescending vibe comes from the speaker thinking you're 'less than' because you're female. Other 'splainings are born from similar mindsets: that your privileges make you superior to the person to whom you're 'splaining things.

So ... you did this whole exercise to study a meaningless topic.

There's a poster on this site who I refuse to treat with because he told me my PhD thesis is bullshit because it contradicts something he thinks his wife learned in medical school years ago.

But the blanks don't matter. It doesn't matter the relationship between two people. If you see someone harassing someone, you need to intervene. It doesn't matter if both parties are a stranger to you. It doesn't matter if the harassment began one second ago, or if you happen upon a situation that seems to have ben…

Your 'study' didn't show anything about how people prejudge men. You don't have a control, for one thing. As my comment illustrates, I have judged women in exactly the same way. The first reply to your point, in fact, asked for more information on the men, their relationship and the nature of the comment. That's the…

Or, maybe, your example is extremely poorly written. You didn't say anything about seconds after the comments, and in other comments said this was a pattern of behavior with the two men. So what is it, and expected pattern or a shocking occurance?

Is the question here seriously "If two men harrass you and three others sit there and do nothing to stop it, will you still like those three guys?"

I could see how a man would feel attacked by the hashtag if he's a piece of shit who harasses women.

Weird. I can't see it on either the 'chat' view or on Not-You's user page.

I realize you're probably going to delete this reply, like you did Not-you's, but the idea that any of the examples of dress codes pertain solely to having students cover their privates is a laughable strawman. There are larger, gendered issues in this discussion and you know it.

Male nerds enjoy seeing rape and graphic violence against women. This at 10.

I think that's exactly what happened. Thanks for bringing it up.

Maybe if you looked up from writing fan fic about what women are wearing, you wouldn't still be in college after 17 years, brah.

When you tell women they're letting themselves get raped, that's more than a poor choice of words. That's a fundamental flaw in your thinking. Of course I think the OP meant that, so don't tell me what I do or don't believe. I get messages on this site all the time telling me what I could have done differently to…

Wow, allow vs let. Really makes my point that she's a victim blamer invalid.

"You can't just sit around waiting for society to solve it's problems while you let yourself be victimized."
