Even with the two suspended sentences they’re letting her off the hook quite lightly if you ask me.
Sure, teenage boys are horny all the time, but this is a clear case of a power imbalance and an adult abusing it/them for their own gratification.
Funny how a scenario like this was nearly verbatim part of the “boys get raped too” course that was a mandatory part of my curriculum 26 years ago, and we’re still treating this differently as a society.
Yeah, now that it’s written out like that I’m surprised I missed that.
Right. That makes sense and I’m surprised I didn’t pick up on that one.
I’m struggling to get that context from the image. Where does it say or imply she was raped?
Cats do exactly what they feel like doing, external motivation be damned. Honestly, it’s not a bad trait.
I’m not getting the joke probably, but it’s clearly not in the source image.
On the one hand I’m amazed at how Israel has managed to manoeuvre itself in international politics to project such an outsized impact on the world, on the other hand I’m baffled how a nation as powerful economically and militarily as the US would be willing to even entertain the idea instead of calling out the blatant ridiculousness of the suggestion.
The true road to enlightenment starts when you realize that SUVs just aren’t fit to haul your kids and your groceries, and that the only logical path forward is to buy a massive lifted truck that puts a Sherman tank to shame to drive your statistical 37 miles per day in some modicum of safety.
That attitude is being pushed by social media influencers, who are in turn (proven to be) on the payroll of the folks who want to return to a feudal misogynistic society. It’s not an organic belief.
I agree with you, but it’s just as incorrect to point at the near 50% support he got in the 2016 elections from the voting public and draw conclusions regarding the popularity of misogyny based on that number alone too.
If we assume that everyone who voted Trump in the 2016 elections were either okay with this or not offended enough not to vote for him, that percentage is actually more like 25-26% (He got about 63m votes in 2016 out of a voting eligible population of 243m). Still way too high if you ask me, but at least it’s not that bleak.
While I can’t speak for the female perspective personally, nor can I pretend to speak for all men, I find the perspective you are presenting to be quite the generalization. There’s a reason people were outraged about Trump’s “locker room talk” excuse for his remark about “grabbing women by the pussy”, it’s certainly not the societal standard for men to become misogynistic molesters when they are in a safe space.
It can now be preserved as the monument to hubris and inevitable failure it was.
That’s not just a burn, that’s a “ask for a rebate with the cremation”
Alright, that’s fair I guess. I can see it be gender neutral, I’m just used to it referring to guys. Plus, I like the way dudette sounds.
Dudette’s hard drive, let’s not misgender here. I hear they like that.
Nice. A Dead Kennedys reference in the wild!
Found the Futurama fan.
This is the defrag I remember most. Back on a 286/386 it would really make a noticable difference in how fast files and programs would be found and loaded. From my Pentium-based Windows 95 machines and onwards I never noticed quite the same impact of defragging my drives.
Two weeks is literally his long term horizon for anything. Look at how many other things he’s put on that rapidly becoming infamous “two weeks” term.
