I haven't visted all of the links or really read into the story, but the thing that stuck out to me the most, and still does, is that one of the "friends" that she sent it to distributed the ppt. She might be a good judget of sexual prowess, but apparently she's very bad at judging someone's character.

^^I think they should all go. Field trip!

Oooooh no, just one of many many many many things. Including her misspellings within the slides--even in my disgust, I noticed a couple of those and they pissed me off on top of the fact.

BTW, thanks for the clarification, Tulip.

If I were a girl and went to Drake, though (assuming I retained my whore status :P)... I'd be taking notes right now lol

ETA: So I was sitting here and realized that I said Drake instead of Duke. I knew Drake Blue Devils didn't sound right. You think I'd know fellow Blue Devils lol.

But yes, KSig RC, that's exactly how I'd feel.

If you were a girl and went to Drake, you'd probably wish you went to Duke.

You've forced her to a nunnery, OR WORSE, marriage!......LOOK AT KAREN OWEN! LOOK AT HER PASSION FOR F******!.....I submit that this woman should be a role model for ALL female college students.....She's a giant white shining beacon of HOPE! A radiating, gorgeous beam of light that says YOU, yes even YOU, Mr. Smells His Own Taint, could finally get laid tonight!"

Naaaah it was more those parts that did it.

ETA: There was nothing going into the article that noted he was a humor writer.

I can see how you'd ignore the "Mr. Smells His Own Taint" portion as humor - but with the context that his job is to entertain people as a humor writer on the sports blog that helped break the story (and with a style I've already noted isn't "for everybody"), I'm still interested in seeing what you think.

I get that you disagree that people should have sex - but do you disagree that they should be allowed to have sex without societal condescension, regardless of gender? That's kind of what I'm getting at.

Yes...if they keep it to themselves. This is no different than the girl that gets labeled Suzy Slut because she broadcasts her conquests across campus through her friends on a weekly basis, while her BFF is doing exactly the same thing but keeping it to herself and therefore has no label. You just can't expect people to reserve comment when you've made your private business public.

This girl's mistake was sending it to her friends. I learned many moons ago that even your best friends can't always be trusted to have the best judgment. So if it's something you really don't want shared, keep it to yourself.

Personally, I don't care who she has sex with or how many partners she has...it's the fact that she used these men as subjects that bothers me.

This kind of means you do care.

No. I do not care who she has sex with. I care that she invaded the privacy of these guys and used them. If she were a man and these were women there would a lot more outrage, but turnabout is fair.

I disagree that they should be spared from societal condecension if they refuse to keep their business to themselves. Regardless of gender.

People will always offer their support/resistance/approval/condescension/etc. of another person's actions whether or not they were asked. Whether or not they should is a moot point because they always will. However, society would not be condescending of actions about which it does not know. By broadcasting her indescretions (even to just the few she intended), she opened herself up to others giving their thoughts and opinions of her behavior, whether they are in favor or opposed.

To more specifically answer your question, I don't necessarily have a problem with the fact that she enjoys sex (I'm sure I will, too, someday). I don't like that she went after these guys, not because she was interested in being with them but because she was collecting them like trophies or souvenirs, then disrespected their privacy by giving all these intimate details to others. I think it's awful when men objectify women then brag about it and I feel the same way when the genders are reversed.

The thing for me is that it's not really fair. If a guy did this, he'd be an asshole and (probably) the subject of law suits. This girl does this, she's a slut AND an asshole and (probably) the subject of law suits.

She's an idiot and an asshole. Nothing more.

If I read this correctly, this was a "fake" thesis -- nothing she turned in for credit. Maybe this will fall more under "cyberbullying" [good call on that thread, DrPhil]?

I read it as this: she's a grown woman who can screw anyone she wants. When she endangers folks' future job prospects/relationships/etc, it becomes a problem.

There's one other title that I'd give her.

Exactly.
