Over a cup of coffee this morning, I finally figured out why many threads on this website are bugging me so much. Then I saw "The Art of..."
Whether you hold (or held) a job in a small business or in a large American corporation, you must know by now that sexual harassment is illegal?with dire consequences for the person who initiates it and the company who hires them.
In the real world, subjects like Kobe Bryant rape jokes, lesbians, hairy gonads, lists of women who (supposedly) like anal sex, blow job discussions, are all off-limits - singularly - and certainly in combination. Why? Because they create and/or contribute to an aggressive and threatening ??atmosphere of sexual harassment.? These subjects are off limits in the workplace, including the water cooler, company email system - even the mens room. Employers who allow it to happen are liable for possibly millions of dollars in reparations to their woman employees for allowing this ??atmosphere? to exist
Curiously - and perhaps as a backlash response by those resident male posters who do have real jobs - it thrives on this website. If this was a porn or boys only website like Unzipped, it would be more understandable - but this site is supposedly sponsored by a music venue.
I realize we're now down to only five or six women members who still post here, and that handful is pretty resilient and resourceful in their dealing with it. However, in deference to the 15-year old girl on here who is obviously a well-read music lover and regular poster - I say this: It isn't legal in the world of mortar/bricks. You don't have to listen to it in school or in your workplace. It's illegal, and you have major legal recourse if you are confronted with it, and it's much more than unwanted comments about your breasts/body/gender/appearance in general. You shouldn't have to read it here either, but so far the legal precedence hasn't extended to the Internet.
If you want to counter-argue that we could just not read the thread, the baser members here have integrated these subjects in music-related threads, or posted threads disguising the actual subject, as with the newest thread listed above. You can start now with the psycho bitch and feminazi labels, but I'd suggest your time would be better spent trying to elevate yourself out of the gutter you're living in.

Wasn't the fisting thread just a reprint of a village voice article, that, I presume people are allowed to read at work, etc.?
If you don't like the subject matter, for all of our sakes, and yours, please EJECT.
-
so no male in a corporate environment is likely to go to the village voice website, they are only going to find it on this forum...
this forum has never had more than 20 to 25 active posters at an given time, but there are clearly a number of lurkers checking in...
who do you think should be moderating this forum Dr. Doom? WWDDD?
if the post so annoyed you why didn't you pm me with a reasonable request...
-
I didn't send the article to anybody in my office. So please stop accusing me of sexual harassment.
It was an article that appeared in the Village Voice, a free weekly that can be picked up and read by any 15 year old in any of the NYC boroughs.
I, for one, found the article interesting and enlightening. Though the topic may not be everyone's cup of tea, it was written more from an educational perspective than one of titilation.

just wondering about your stats on the women who are "regular" posters. a bunch of my friends and I, yeah we're chicks (not that you know everything by a user name), read the board, and post when we have things to note of a relevant nature. and based on the things that pass through my email (in a corporate environment), ive seen a lot worse.
my boss, general counsel no less, has more porn in about 5 mins. than a full day's worth here. probably illegal, but the IS team knows about it, and we all have a chuckle.
the world is too f'ing PC. if you cant handle what you read, stop reading! and if you havent learned by now MEN ARE PIGS! its as simple as that. but women arent always that much better. besides, just remember, at least you arent in iraq, where women virtually have no rights!

Equating posts on an Internet message board with sexual harrassment? Are you kidding me? Someone tell me she's kidding. Please?

thats a given statement. im pretty sure my friend is the devil reincarnated ;)
-
She's not kidding right? (I am so stupefied by this that it requires two posts in a row, a first for me).
You obviously have no clue about what sexual harrassment is if you can possibly put "sexual harrasment" and "posting on a message board" into one theme and try to make point.

new forum rule: no girlz allowed in the tree house

I think it was the poet Vince Neil who once said "remember what I say girl, And it goes this way:
Girl, don't go away mad...
Girl, just go away!"

Just thinking...isn't the user name "Bad Sushi" kind of a sexual innuendo, especially for a male hating lesbian? May as well have called herself, "carpet muncher" or "box chomper" or something.

All jokes aside, I can assure you all, BadSushi is not a lesbian. Trust me.

Are you sexually harassing the males of the board? We don't tolerate that kind of thing here, you know.
