Wonder what the quotes were that Stanford rejected.

SHE’S NOT OKAY. EVERYTHING IS NOT OKAY. What kind of paternalistic, anti-female, pathetic bullshit is this? It makes no sense, for one thing: someone entering Stanford in 2030 will have NO IDEA wtf this is supposed to mean.

One thing I’ve learned in the past week is that one of the more subtle yet insidious abuses of power is their continued insistence that they be the ones to “fix” things. On their terms, always on their terms.

How utterly despicable.

I hope this shit gets smashed over and over and over again. The school’s attempt to sanitize the situation and turn it into some optimistic bullshit is disgusting. Women don’t need to be memorialized, worshipped, turned into super heroes or pillars of strength they need to not be fucking raped, beaten or killed. Fuck…

a charmed in the 70s that focused on the mom and gram raising three daughters would’ve been interesting. but i guess there wouldn’t be enough fighting the “patriarchy” even though it’s right after the first wave of feminism.

Actually, one form of sexual harassment is Quid Pro Quo sexual harassment; which is trading sexual favors for some benefit, like a role in a movie. It is understood that, had the person not complied, she would be retaliated against in not getting the job. You are missing the context of this situation; which is that it…

I’m not having a go at you, but I’ve seen this repeated a few times - that the actresses essentially chose to sleep with Weisntein in order to get roles. But really, they slept with (or did whatever with) Weinstein because if they didn’t, they would not only not get that particular role, but they might never get…

The thing that annoys me the most about the “But why didn’t you just” argument is that by insisting there was an action and you just didn’t perform it, it completely holds victims responsible for their own rapes. So, the strong ones who don’t freeze don’t get raped, the silly weak ones who forgot to go for the balls…

OK, I’m an old feminist. Not as old as Greer but over 50. Why in the name of Sam fucking Hill are we listening to her, or paying any attention to her at all when she has been a *crank* for years? Yes, “Female Eunuch” was ground-breaking and important and then... her rampant transphobia pretty much made anyone truly…

That new thing The Mash Report also had a pretty good pisstake of the “male confusion” over what now does or doesn’t constitute sexual harassment (the male presenter was clearly left in the dark as to what was going to happen).

Also (because I am steaming right now) this shit?

Sometimes I think a lot of her earlier work that I’m aware of wasn’t exactly great in retrospect. Yes she encouraged women to be equal to men but that was more “be equal to men under the current system” so equality became being as miserable, emotionally stunted, and bullying as the men are rather than just breaking…

I’m getting weirder and more disappointing and more Dowager-Countess- Grantham as the years go by also. Ms Greer, I think, is entitled to her opinions but I hate the fuck out of it when those opinions are rained down in speeches as truths. It’s what she thinks; why does she expect we should also? I would think that…

The way we keep people off of juries is really weird, I think. The selection for basically people who have no firsthand knowledge of the subject at hand leads to juries that, especially when dealing with subjects where our collective knowledge is based on stereotypes and misinformation like rape and sexual assault,…

Here’s a quote from the forward of the latest edition of the Female Eunuch (which, by the way, talks about all the lies women are sold about passive “romance” in which a woman is swept off her feet and kept by a powerful man instead of following her own wants and desires): “The freedom I pleaded for twenty years ago…

Tracy Ullman (in her most recent series) has captured Germaine Greer’ s present relevance (ranting at unwitting, uninterested strangers at a bus stop). After reading the above, this seems more on the nose than when first broadcast last year...

I want this too - if their physical, mental, economic and social well-being wouldn’t be threatened by reacting immediately. Which unfortunately almost never is the case. Even when they “react” later, there is almost always a price for the victim to pay.

Research? That sounds like science. They don’t like the science.

Even Idaho legalized CBD for epilepsy treatment. That’s not exactly a green light to drive through the state with your Colorado plates, but still...
