Point is, he wore the shirt. Maybe it wasn't the best one considering the circumstances (personally I don't give a shit) but what's done is done. The backlash to the shirt is ridiculous, the dress code where he works is obviously different from yours- stop making such a big deal about it.

But she also said if he would up-skirted her she'd have called the cops.
Apparently I failed to teach her that nuance is to be avoided and, therefore, a butt-pinch on a clothed-butt is every bit as serious as a brutal, violent gang-rape that left her in the hospital and gave her life-long medical and psychological problems.

Re: Nerds. Nerds EVERYWHERE...
No, I changed my avatar to solidify the absurdity of the situation, and to show solidarity to Taylor. There is a cause and effect to this. It didn't start with, let's shoop Taylor's shirt onto other historical figures. It started with people exaggerating the significance of his shirt to such a degree that him wearing it actively prevents women from entering the STEM field, and actually feeling welcome in STEM. The culmination of which was Matt Taylor crying on television because he felt he had commited some grievous error, when all he had really done was wear an, at worst, tacky shirt. Oh, and the first to lead a team landing a probe on a comet moving 135,000 an hour.
It doesn't matter what he wore. Different professions carry different social mores, like dress codes. Turns out scientists can still be hired even if they're covered in tattoos, and turns out scientists can still do their job even if they happen to wear tacky shirts, khakis and sandals. If this was a news footage of a farmer, would anyone have a gave a toss? Probably not, because the important thing for a farmer is that they get their harvest done in time and everyone's happy.
(I think it needs to be pointed out how vastly different the atmosphere was like before the shirtstorm had kicked off, and after. Before he was giddy and jovial, after he was sullen and distant wearing clothes that could only be described as bleak and boring. I suppose those are clothes that would have been preferable in your eyes, but honestly it was just sad to watch. It was like his personality had been ripped out.)

"a participant in a European Space Agency media conference"? :lol:dogen wrote:....Statement from the American Astronomical Society Regarding #Shirtstorm / #Shirtgate
The past few days have seen extensive international discussion of an incident (known online as #shirtstorm or #shirtgate) in which a participant in a European Space Agency media conference wore a shirt with sexualized images of gun-toting women and made an unfortunate remark comparing the featured spacecraft to a woman. Viewers responded critically to these inappropriate statements, especially jarring in such a highly visible setting (one in which very few women appeared), and the scientist apologized sincerely. But in the meantime, unacceptable abuse has been directed toward the critics, from criticism of "over-active feminism" to personal insults and more dire threats.
Don't worry about the AAS. They've been an SJW haven for years now.
To be honest, I'm not sure I agree with their statement. As a fee-paying member, it doesn't reflect my viewpoint. In fact, it seems more like they are scoring cheap points off ESA. Why did they hav to say anything?

We disagree about the positive/negative impact of wearing the shirt. Many people were impressed at what they thought was a cool hip scientist instead of just a stiff suit.
John,
Had the guy been wearing a well made hawian shirt minus the the pin up girl stuff, would you have found that acceptable?

I can already hear James Caruthers running toward The Pit, ready to throw down a photo of a different chainsaw, which is the kind a man would use because he does so dur.
And then don an Opheliar and dump 500 lines of text, in which 85% of the words are 'Bruh', 'gain', swole', 'cardio', 'manlet' and fucking 'Volk!isch'
FT: I love what you've done so far to autocorrect that last word, now how about some of the others? Do it for the swole Bruhs, you cardio-loving little manlet fag.
For the record, I just want to say that I don't think what she's doing is safe.
Re: Nerds. Nerds EVERYWHERE...
The way I read God's tweet, He was implying that in this instance, the sheer number of allegations against Cosby was a compelling reason to believe that Cosby really has been doing nasty shit. Now whether or not you agree with the logic, IF that is the point God was making, then it was surely a point in favour of punishing Cosby. In which case, it was surely the very opposite of a "sexist and misogynist tweet".
So either I'm a drooling imbecile, or FutureFeminism is. Well I suppose it could be me.

I couldn't watch for long (one's too faggy, the other's too douchey) but I did take away that in Geordie Tate's mind, 'they should die in ovens' is normal discourse and totally not a threat. Unless you say it to a feminist.JayTeeAitch wrote:From watching the first couple of minutes, it looks like Geordie taters bet the other bloke 10 grand that people would find more sociopathic tweets on his timeline than on his own. He's pathetically backtracking now... :lol:James Caruthers wrote:
