Actually, no it’s not. It’s usually nowhere near enough to destroy someone’s career, and if Annalee had actually read Ronson’s book, she’d notice the space he dedicates to this question. Comparing numerous people who have dealt with public shaming, his takeaway on the topic of emerging from shame is that it’s fairly…

Do you hear yourself, though? “Lynching.” “Lynch mobs.” I’m not going to say shaming isn’t really unpleasant, but no one is getting lynched and if you have to pretend they are you might be stretching to make your point.

Awesome! Now take your show on the road! Go up to the first black person you see and do the same thing in your jokey manner. I’m sure no black person ever will find this offensive because they understand “context” and “nuance.”

“Jokes” that make a historically disenfranchised group a fucking punchline, especially in light of the fact that women are frequently shut out of science fields because of this crap, are rarely “funny.”

Not only did Hunt say completely reprehensible things, but he couldn’t even figure out that you don’t tell a room full of female scientists at a professional conference that they are lovesick crybabies. This is not a guy who should be in charge of anything.

No, that’s crap. That’s not at all what she was saying, and you know better than that.

How young or never-grew-up white straight men overreact wildly to any intimation that they behave badly in any context ever and start screaming and flailing about how having to be civil and considerate of others means their rights are being trampled and they’ve been thrown into a Saudi prison.

Alternatively: “Don’t Do This Shitty Thing And Speak Up If You See Others Doing It.”

exactly. I couldn’t be a male unless I can threaten to shit down a womans throat. I’m glad someone gets it.

Well, I’m a guy and I wouldn’t laugh “I’m gonna rape you and then cut off your head” off and move on with my life. I agree too many people get offended too fast, but those tweets are horrible dude.

Apparently, you live in a world where moral obligations fall entirely on the laborer.

Who cares what her immigration status was? When someone willingly hires you to do work, and you do said work, you deserve to be compensated for it. Period. End of story.

must have been used to the rich types who “get a job at the coffee house for 5 hours a week” while living in a penthouse and traveling internationally every few weeks.

Nice to see you’ve joined us, Magda! News flash, this writer doesn’t owe you shit or shinola about the personal details about her time there, yet she wrote about them anyway — she was in the process of getting her citizenship. Also, I’ve never heard of someone “getting what they deserved” for being naive by working…

“Your labor doesn’t warrant protection”

If you had read closely you would see that she was in the process of becoming a citizen. That literally makes her an immigrant.

She should’ve just called it an internship

Yeah, fuck paying people who work for you if no one is watching!

Right??? Americans are super greedy.
