It is theoretically possible to charge someone with assault for spitting on someone else. I don’t argue the sentiment implied, I think Sulkowicz played this with incredible poise and restraint.

Because if he sued her he would have to prove that she lied when she said he raped her. He can’t do that (because he raped her) so he’s conveniently leaving her name off the list of people he’s suing.

Are you actually making the argument that a woman in an evening gown and flat shoes is roughly equivalent to a sloppy man in board shorts and a muscle tank? Because if so, then you need to go back to the drawing board and find a new thought.

Women, if you’re not in pain, you’re not fancy enough.

Not with the Starbucks app. The Starbucks app displays a bar code that has to be scanned at the register.

I really don’t see that as passive aggressive. “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you.” Ok. You’re sorry - legit apology. That’s normal. Also, you didn’t hear the person. That’s a statement of fact and lets them know that it was unintentional. That’s cool and a normal thing to say and makes sense. “You don’t have to yell”…

That’s what you took away from this? She didn’t have to yell. That’s insane. If telling someone that is passive aggressive, then I don’t know what kind of VIP treatment you think this barista deserves when she’s literally humiliating customers for no reason.

Frankly, there’s nothing new and it doesn’t look very funny, so ABC’s determination to go ahead with developing the show in the face of protest from the MRC and a host of religious groups and leaders looks like a cultural thumb in the eye.

Why doesn't this comment have 1000 stars?

Rolling eyes on this thread so bad my head hurts. Everyone knows kissing happens on this stretch of Wellesley on the marathon. Please do not hang out in this area kvetching about personal space and sexual assault while everyone else is simply having fun with it. And the guy not only consented- but he consented AGAIN…

Both parties reported that it was a very much consensual, inconsequential gesture of support, and the third party (god are we really so antiquated to assume that a woman would be jealous over a peck of support?) agreed. Kissing a stranger without consent-yes that is crappy. It is also, by all reports, not remotely…

By all reports from all parties, the runner approached a stranger, got verbal consent from him, and they apparently redid the peck 3 times for a good photo.

I agree, but isn’t there some kind of tradition where Wellesley girls kiss guys as they run by?

Not to mention the fact they are most likely stinky and sweaty. A stinky, sweaty stranger.

It says the kiss occurred in Wellesley, home of the famous “Scream Tunnel.” The ladies of Wellesley College line up and ENCOURAGE you to give them a kiss (so I assume the lady was there with her daughter). You have to go out of your way to get a smooch, running over to the gals behind the fence barricade. Last year I…

I’d be more sympathetic to her if she didn’t work with kids. They deserve better, and the daycare was right to fire her.

Wow you are beautiful and have some insanely beautiful tattoos! You’re making me want more! All the tattoos!

I think you may need to reread. It was a Mexican court and there weren’t any tests, which is why this whole thing happened.

“Alondra Luna’s family will most likely sue someone in all of this”

From what they were saying on NPR this morning, the US “mom” saw her on Facebook, she was the right age, right first name, and looked like she thought her missing daughter would look. So, naturally they KIDNAPPED the terrified girl. Makes total sense.
