Look, I’m not from the U.S. so I don’t pay a whole lot of attention to title IX. I don’t know whether this is really an appropriate use (seems like it’s not) but did the students have another formal complaint process they could have used? I don’t think students writing a counterpoint is sufficient - it’s not a level…

That’s the exact comparison I had in mind - we would be speaking differently about this if the student/s were employees. This would not be acceptable in a work environment, so why is it acceptable in an educational one?

I am really disappointed in the way Jezebel’s framing this situation. I’ve had to go to several other sites to get the full story. I like a good portion of Kipnis’s article, but she says some extremely problematic things. Why aren’t we talking about those? Maybe a title IX complaint wasn’t appropriate, but do the…

I’m not clear on how the professor is a “feminist professor” or how the students that filed the title IX are “feminist students”? I’m not claiming they’re not, but both this and the earlier article seem to be missing this info? I’ve read elsewhere that she’s a Communications prof and a Film prof, but not sure if she…

Guess they’ve organized to try to infiltrate Jezebel now? I haven’t seen what you describe but I have seen a couple of really chipper oddly supportive brand spanking new accounts for this lady. I mean, if MRA trolls are your biggest supporter...

To me it sounds like the typical MRA defense...

LOL!!!

The issue wasn’t a full can - the flight attendant gave her a full can, opened. The passenger then asked for an unopened can, which the flight attendant refused.

How long you been grey? I’m going on at least 6 months here. I don’t get it, I come here just about every day and comment...

They do but if you ask for it they will give you the whole can.

But the key was that an UNOPENED can was a weapon, whereas an opened one is not.

I guess you could bonk someone on the head?

Why is it always United???

I didn’t say it wasn’t a word. Just that it’s not used in North America the way you seem absolutely certain it is, even though it sounds like you have not spent much (any?) time here. I’m sorry but it is not in common usage the way you believe it to be, take it from the several people who’ve spent a lifetime here who…

It’s ok. My boyfriend’s is cuter.

Those two “friend” characters were terrible. And one of them dated Danny. I guess they had to get rid of her to make way for Danny/Mindy.

Yes! What kind of sick, twisted mind thinks AC refusing to hug a stranger proves she’s a terrible person? She’s a terrible person for many reasons, this is NOT one of them.

I’m surprised that Pat Roberts condemned them.

Who the f would freak out about this? Hello, a hug is an intimate act. An unwanted one is invasive. Ann Coulter makes my skin crawl, but she has EVERY right to refuse this.

I’ve also never heard “grafter” used in North America. Grifter, yes.
