Maybe you should have a talk with your ‘sisters’ who are receptive to that shit. Who cheat on their men with the same guys hitting on you. If it didn’t work, men wouldn’t do it.

I guess I made that clear in my last sentence, but asking a co-worker out on a date can be interpreted as sexual harassment as well.

What kind of shitholes do you hang out at??

Why do you hang out at SINGLES bars???

Sure. If you're paranoid.

As long as you don't hold any of the women accountable.

I didn’t know you spoke for all women.

This made me think of something.

Can the commentariat share examples from cinema, literature, etc., of GOOD romantic behavior from men? I.e., expressions of attraction that are appropriate, acknowledge the women’s agency, and do not infringe on any preexisting professional relationship?

There’s obviously an enormous…

Why don’t you tell that to the millions of men (and women) whose relationship started at the workplace? Is any romantic workplace relationship wrong and if not, who is supposed to take the first step and how?

I don’t think it’s a protection sense, but a management sense. I actually did study education and worked quite a bit in high schools. Classroom management, interpersonal relationships with students, managing problem students are, and have always been, part of teaching. A teacher has to be able to anticipate problem…

Look, teenagers are not as developed as adults, psychologically. There is a major psychological growth spurt that hasn’t happened yet. But beyond that, a high school teacher teaches up to 150 students a day. What is the likelihood one of those kids is an asshole? I’d say pretty high. Part of the job of a teacher is to…

Wait, there’s a controversy over a brown person playing a brown person... because of movie prosthetic? Did you see David Morse as George Washington in John Adams? I cringed thinking people were making dumb hay over Saldana being of South American descent. But this is just...weird.

I assume the possibility of malicious intent from everyone. That’s why, with even fewer people than this lady having access to my phone, it’s password protected. I thought that was a more common frame of mind than it apparently is.

I think that’s smart. Being a teacher is tough, I get that. It absolutely sucks to be in this situation. Being a teacher adds an extra level of responsibility.

Does this count “degrees” from DeVry and other such purveyors of scams and debts?

No, an equivalent situations would be if she offered to drive students to a field trip in her car, with nude polaroids in a folder on the backseat, and then a student from the same group stole them and distributed them. Is that student wrong? YES. Should that student be punished? YES. Should a teacher also make sure…

I’ve stated already that those students should absolutely receive a punishment. A heavy one. Definitely expelled. I just think there’s a little more to the story that we’re not getting from her. It sure sounds like she was offered a chance at a hearing on this (she didn’t deny that either), where the subject of why…

Unlikely. Almost all classrooms, even the inner city poorly funded schools have a connection through the teacher’s computer (and they all have one computer for the teacher).
