Details no, but honestly who’s going to read the whole thesis. I’m going to bet the majority of people are going to see if they can identify anyone on the list and that’s it. If you don’t want to say, yeah, I had sex with [name]" then… ---

> [@Inner\_Stickler](#): > > It appears we have stumbled over a dope sexual more. They are surprisingly more prevalent than one would think. > > Frankly, I don’t really care one way or the other about her sex life, since, you know, it’s her’s and all. And if the guys are upset at people finding out they had sex with her, I submit that they shouldn’t have been having sex in the first place then. It shouldn’t be something to be embarrassed about. As **Der Trihs** ’s post suggests, the information she posted was considerably more detailed than “I had sex with this guy.” If the simple fact of the sexual encounter were all the information she had provided, you might have a point; it wasn’t, so you don’t. ---

The fact that she was literally keeping score, suggests that she wanted to fuck just about any jock that crossed her path. She did so, and then recorded it. Classy. > > Yeah, she did. So? Did you want something other than to fuck just about any good-looking girl that crossed your path at the same age? I note that at this point, you’re talking about nothing but the sex, and not the email that went public, which is a different issue. “And then recorded it,” as I read this, means there was something wrong with fucking with a bunch of athletes for the sheer joy of fucking a bunch of athletes. > > So what is it? She had too much sex? She liked it too much? She had sex and wasn’t bashful enough about it? She had sex with the wrong kind of guys? What? Whores get paid, true enough. Would slut have sufficed? Is there any differentiation in your world between a girl who lets literally anyone fuck her, and one who decides to be more selective? Any man or woman that fucks someone at the mere suggestion of the act, is a slut by definition. She did not behave to that extreme, nor did she stay chaste. So, is there a line to be crossed in your opinion? Can a woman stay splay-legged all day, accepting any and all penises, and still be considered normal to you? If fucking lots of people is fine (which I don’t really have an issue with), and fucking absolutely everyone that can make it to your vagina is excessive, then where is the line drawn? The volume of guys she fucked isn’t the issue, the recording and dissemination of it is the issue. My take on her activities is that she wasn’t just having fun, she was using and exploiting these guys. I have no sympathy for the type of guys she was using, but that doesn’t make it a good thing to do. No matter the gender, sexual conquest lists are nothing to brag about. You got laid a lot, great. You took advantage of a few naive people, great. You helped spread STDs amongst your promiscuous group of fuck buddies, even better. Yes, I know it was not an actual “paper”. The mere fact she even bothered to create such a document though, tells something about her charachter. If this presentation was created by your daughter, would you still be saying “So what?” The lack of dignity and respect here is the low point. ---

It seems I missed Jimmy’s last post when reading the thread, and most of this has been addressed already. My bad. ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > Like I said, I loathe sophomoric male sexual braggadocio that dehumanizes women and I am not any more sympathetic to it when the genders are reversed. This is where I’m at regarding this story. It’s not good in either direction. I think a lot of what’s going on is more a gender-wide schadenfreude; men have treated women like this a _lot_ over the years, so there’s joy for some folks to see the tables turned. Yay, the men get to suffer like women have, that kind of thing. Understandable, but it indicates that there is a negative result involved in sexual bragging, and I’m not sure how it benefits people to _increase_ negativity between genders. It feels like an attempt to reach gender equality by deliberately _lowering_ the standards. Maybe the better long-term tactic is to villify sexual braggadocio, or destigmatize sexual experience.
