Yes they all cross the line. and yes its a bit annoying, however that's all it is, a nusesence. I don't think any legal action should be taken nor do I think the woman were actually sacred. its bad enough that there in national news for such things. their reputations are possibly ruined that's all the punishment they need.
A strong, provocative opinion but I encourage you to be more thoughtful about it. You make some assumptions about what these stories and these chants mean to women but don't really work to see their perspective. You don't need to agree with it but you need to acknowledge and understand it.
ReplyDeleteOverall, you have the potential to be a good blogger Weston but only doing 2 posts this quarter (with neither of them being the required affirmative action post) is insufficient to meet your blogging requirements.
Sorry my work is inadequate. To me blogging can be completely opinion based. meaning I really don't need to care what the woman think in these stories, however I do understand the issues be hind these sorts of topics. I am just taking a more sarcastic feel to these blogs that we have to do that I couldn't care less about the topic.
