You are welcome.

They planned and executed a prank about women getting their genitals probed by strangers. One usually jokes and plans pranks about things they find funny, no?

When I stated he "stood calmly" I meant relative to Solange's hysterics. All I saw was him trying to protect his body and at one point try to restrain her leg so she would stop kicking him. Perhaps you saw a different cut of the video?

I'm not sure what feminists think but it seems clear what sociopaths think—-that it's funny to joke about women's bodies being violated.

Being paid a salary means that there is no set number of hours that you are "supposed" to work. You work until the job—whatever your bosses determine your "job" to be—-is done.

As long as they pay their bills on time it's all good ;-).

If you are a high school senior and don't know that it's wrong to make women believe that their genitals are going to be probed by strangers than you are a sociopath. They knew it was wrong and they thought it was funny. I am 100% positive they hid their actions from their parents and any and all adults because they…

It comes down to parenting. Teaching that other people's bodies are their's and their's alone and that no one else has a right to it. That making people feel fearful and uncomfortable is not funny, it's cruel. Kids are dumb; parents are supposed to mitigate their dumbness.

That is part of why they used that particular imagery, I thought. To juxtapose the "rah rah," good-times, isn't-college-so-much-fun?? idea with the fact that rapes are happening at an alarming rate almost unchecked at these same colleges/universities. If the graphic designers didn't want to use that juxtaposition…

The Standard is a very well-known hotel mini-chain (NYC and LA) to those with $$$$. This breach hurts their business immensely since celebrities—-the hotel's bread and butter—-will be much less likely to stay their for fear that their "indiscretions" will be sold to the tabloids. For instance, do you think any…

He was fired for cause=no unemployment.

The Standard Hotel can sue the worker for causing reputational harm to their business. Celebrities (with their big wallets) are much less likely to stay there now because they will be nervous that their "indiscretions" will be sold to the tabloids. This security worker has no assets I'm sure (aside from the $250K he…

Why would you ever date someone you weren't physically attracted to? I don't get it...

The pennant imagery automatically triggered an association with higher education to me, and I would argue, most people. Especially when they read "Crisis in Education" an inch below. It's really not that revolutionary or confusing what Time did. They used a symbol largely (but not exclusively) associated with…

What is your point regarding the discussion at hand regarding the Time cover?

I can't imagine that any reasonable person who watched that video could honestly think that anyone but Solange was the aggressor at that specific time and place. Is it possible that outside the elevator Jay or Bey are the abuser(s)? Of course. But given what we see in the video it's pretty obvious who is attacking…

I would argue that use of the word "crisis" on the cover paints rape in a pretty negative light. Also, it's the word "rape." I think it is pretty powerfully negative on it's own and doesn't need to be described as negative to get the average person to know and understand that a difficult and troubling topic is at…

No, that's not at all correct.

Is it trolling? Or is it addressing an issue that (finally) has received the national attention that it warrants?

Why would a hotel be "entitled" to profit off the image and likeness of people staying in their hotel? I don't get it.
