  • My rebuttal is that it’s simply unreliable to ask random faculty members to tell you the truth about things that make their school look bad.

    That’s not unreasonable, even for yes, this huge liberal hippie.

    “We called each school multiple times for 3 months” tells me absolutely nothing. It could have been two calls, it could have been two thousand, but they are extremely short on details for some reason.

    And since they outsourced it to a third party it adds another layer of obfuscation that makes it difficult to answer anything.

    And finally, the way they settled on not being able to confirm or deny most of the shootings, but still phrased it as if kids shooting each other at school wasn’t a big deal. Like, seriously?

    I’m very disappointed in the author of this NPR article, which usually does their due diligence on these issues.

    …it was a tongue-in-cheek reply to the dismissive retort of the person I was responding to…the tone of which was meant to convey the ridiculousness of the statement, which they heavily edited to be far less sexist, to their credit.

    Also how would you like me to not recognize the disparity imparted by their “genitals” in a comment discussing how the people with openings for genitals were allowed special treatment at this time, and less so at later times. It’s literally the entire context.

    For sure.

    It’s just once they got back home they still weren’t allowed to vote, grow professional careers, get equal access to higher education, own their own property while with a man because of coverture laws, be allowed to play in athletic sports or form leagues, hold any real position of political power, get a divorce easily to escape abusive relationships, allowed to be legally raped by their spouses as much as he wanted while having zero reproductive rights, etc.

    Just some give and take for that one day for some unlucky dudes, as you put it.
