It's absolutely not the same, for quite a few reasons (start with "plausible deniability" - she very well could be lying, embellishing, misconstruing, whatever). If she had published photos of coitus, then you'd be onto something.

On the truth issue, would the trial be about this dude's sexual prowess not measuring up? Would she call witnesses who can testify as to the objectivity of her research and the large and diverse sample size from which she derived her conclusions? Does her research pass Daubert? These are things the public needs to know.

I want that on CourtTV. I would pay PPV for that.

So many "pro bono" jokes, so little time.

I surrender. These posts have made me laugh so hard I now have a stitch in my side. You guys are really funny! If I ever get in trouble...

The one part that I thought was really sad was that following her "research," she wouldn't offer or ask for a phone number, or even friend a guy on facebook, because that would be clingy/stalkerish.

Friending someone AFTER you have had sex is clingy/stalkerish? I think it's sad that she didn't view herself as entitled to ask for continued contact with these guys if she wanted it. She thinks she has an obligation to leave them alone. There were several guys she described as funny, clever, nice, etc., people whose company she really enjoyed. But it would be stalkerish to ask for their phone numbers?

You haven't been in college for a while, have you?

It's not a matter of libel...I'm sure they would have come forward by now to deny it if they didn't have sex with her...and I'm not even talking in criminal terms. I'm talking morally, ethically, etc. Not ok, period.

I mean, obviously.

This is absolutely not true. In fact, it's probably best if they don't comment at all either way.

Right, and so am I (my whole point was that it isn't libel, that it was just stupid). I think you missed my whole point here. Who said it was "OK"?

she's not very attractive.

I guess I expect that though.

ETA: Apparently, she's still a hot topic on Google. I don't get the articles that praise her for "giving men a dose of their own medicine" and rationalize it by saying "Men do this all the time, way to stick it to them." When men do this, people go off about how unfair double standards are and men can't be macho while women are promiscuous. By the same token, you cannot call men degrading and deserving of punishment/revenge and say she's being free and expressive. That is ALSO a double standard. I've said it before and I'll say it again: reversing the genders does not make it right.

/speech

She's an idiot and she has bad friends. I think she's going to have to do more than change her name, she's going to have to change her appearance too.
