Your mom’s hands are down… my pants!
I’m amused at how many people posting nonsense in this thread have reported posts by conservatives in the other thread for hijacking.
There are occasions when mockery and derision is the precisely correct response.
How will these kids learn if they never make mistakes…
As far as the tublerfeminist and professional offerandi segments are more representative of the loony liberal side of the spectrum than they are of the right, I propose the obnoxious twitterstorm that made a brilliant scientist break down in tears of shame on the day that should have been his triumph. For wearing a shirt with some pictures on it. But part responsibility must go to the scientist for not knowing that the twitter and blog ravings of idiots should at best be ignored, or told to go shut their fucking fishy twats.
Yeah! Cuz everyone knows that on the day you represent the scientific community on TV after a major astronomical achievement you should totally wear hot almost naked chicks in bondage gear and underwear all over your torso. It really does send the right message.
If that’s not business casual what is?
CMC fnord!
It wasn’t “ravings” – it was things like “hey, you shouldn’t wear a shirt like that”. Just like “elevatorgate” (in which, after a feminist blogger was creeped out by being propositioned in an elevator late at night at a conference, she posted something to the effect of “guys, you shouldn’t proposition girls on elevators late at night” and subsequently got rape threats), reasonable criticism by feminists tends to attract (sometimes) the worst forms of threats and harassment.
It’s reasonable to say “you shouldn’t wear shirts that display women in an objectified manner”.
Oh how nice. An offerandi specimen right here. One thing I noticed was that all the offended twats I read were Americans, whereas the guy was British. The location was Germany. The ESA organisation European. Stop trying to foster your stupid ideas on us, it’s cultural imperialism! Help help I’m being repressed.
It’s also reasonable to say: “shut your stinking twat” Which of course is exactly what he should have done, which is why part blame must lie with himself. fat people
I’m not ‘offended’ I’m ‘embarrassed’. This idiot thought the best way to represent the scientific community, who gives a rat’s ass where he was at the time or where he was from, was by dressing like an aging pimp. All he was missing was the big gold chains and the handlebar mustache. He could have worn goddam near anything else, but no, he took a look at his closet and pulled out the gaudiest, brightest, and most importantly the most immature thing he could find. I guess his ‘What do tell a woman with 2 black eyes? Nothing you already told her twice’ shirt was in the hamper. He got a space probe to land on a comet, he most certainly should have known better.
I’m not offended, but I thought it was pretty tacky.
I’m allowed to find things tacky, right? I’m American, after all; we practically invented tacky.
See, he’s a scientist, not a dipshit cro-mag who’s only capable of communicating in grunts, swear words, and misspelled pejoratives like ‘offerandi’. We expect a little bit more of him. Not you of course, but definitely him.
I [del] live under a rock [/del] am a little behind. Could somebody kindly illuminate what the hell **Rune **is talking about?
Well I don’t give a shit that you’re offended or embarrassed and neither should he had. Go be offend-embarrassed in Yank-land if you’re a yank.
No he thought the best way to represent the scientific community was by sending a spacecraft on a ten year voyage to land on a comet a gazillion kilometers from home. Only idiots gives a rats ass what kind of shirt he wore.
Have you ever had the misfortune to work with some of the brightest in various fields? Their social skills often lacks a great deal to be desired. Just because he can land a spacecraft on a comet doesn’t mean he knows how to dress or behave in a manner you seem to find respectable. I tend to think he was merely a geekish kind of person who had no idea that what he did was wrong or knew how to handle the shitstorm.
The shirt wasn’t all that bad either. I mean it was clearly a crime against fashion and good taste. But against chicks? Not really.
Aren’t runes supposed to be indecipherable? 
ESA spokes-scientist does media piece about landing probe on comet. ESA guy wears bizarre Hawaiian/bowling shirt covered in pictures of sexy ladies. Internet raises its collective eyebrow. Scientist cries. MRA types demand justice for poor, victimized beardy man. Rune gets upset that he can no longer wear shirts with naked ladies to his probation meetings and loses his shit.
“Chicks”? Seriously? “Chicks”?
In case it has escaped your attention, the soft guys with the wobbly bits are smarter than us. Testosterone poisoning is in our nature, we are risk takers, adventurers! Which is to say, “stupid”. We should just get out of their way and do as we are told. Eventually, we will be freed to run about naked through the forests peeing on trees. As the Goddess intended.
There will still be snoos-snoos. Their form of stupid is the urge to make babies, which isn’t all that stupid, by comparison.
The magic words are not “please” and “thank you”. The magic words are “Yes, dear”. Catch on to that, Ruin, and your Saturday nights will be a lot better…
I want RNATB to summarize more things.
Also, I assume that Rune’s ‘tublerfeminists’ should read tumblerfeminists, although I don’t know why he didn’t just use SJWs* like everyone else.
