Consumption is not a politically combative act — refraining from consumption even less so.

That is a delightfully stupid comic.  I haven't seen a strawman that blatant since the last time I looked at a creationist comic.

Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

When was PZ Meyers accused of rape? Or am I missing something?

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I won’t meet privately with students either — I always keep my office door wide open, and when I’m working with students in the lab, I find excuses to move out and let them work on their own if it turns into a one-on-one event. I just can’t afford the risk.

I was also subject to accusations of harassment, once upon a time. A female student came into my lab when I was alone, unhappy about an exam grade, and openly threatened me — by going public with a story about a completely nonexistent sexual encounter right there.

Zoom, I was right out the door at that instant; asked a female grad student in the lab next door to sit with the student for a bit, and went straight to the chair of the department to explain the situation. I had to work fast, because I knew that if it turned into a he-said-she-said story, it wouldn’t matter that she was lying, it could get dragged out into an investigation that would easily destroy my career, no matter that I was innocent.

I was in a total panic, knowing full well how damaging that kind of accusation can be. Fortunately, I’d done the right thing by blowing it all wide open at the first hint of a threat, and getting witnesses on the spot.

And the evidence that this is little more than a cute anecdote is non-existent.  On the other hand, the kinds of people who gobble that up are also the kinds of people that are most likely to believe that most rape cases are false claims.

Just about how a confrontionalist would react to such a situation.

Reminds me of a show in Californication where Duchovny plays a temp writer professor, is screwing a student, a TA and the dean's wife. Class starts, and the 3 girls sit up front staring at him adoringly. They don't know about each other. Duchovny has to begin the class, and all he can do is scrawl on the blackboard, FUCK. Then the credits roll. Hollywood, though. In real life, it'd probably get ugly fast unless you regularly beat Casanova himself at poker every game.

Speaking of stupid comics, am I the only one annoyed by images that have absolutely nothing to do with the slogans written on them? For instance, there's a lot of "protest signs" posted here that have the same exact image of a duck on them, and the various spectacled bear images like this one. In one instance, the duck even undermines its own anti-rape message.

Maybe I don't get what you are saying, but the duck... at that time, there was a story going around the internet where someone wrote up a story with photos and videos where a dead mallard duck was being sodomized by another mallard duck. Hence that statement regardless of gender. You can find that one easily googling it with keywords like sodomizing dead duck.

The bear, I just dunno. Maybe using that meme to signify sadness as in what the hell sense.

I believe the bear is "awkward confession bear".

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

There's actually an annual gay duck necrophilia day held on the spot where it happened.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.
