I'm just not sure why it's worthy of a pop, on the tiny amount of detail you can glean from that tweet?

Who can she mean? People like her? People who read the Guardian?

Or people not like her, poorer, less upper middle class maybe..

I've no doubt it takes a similar form to the street harassment that's depressingly familiar to the vast majority of young women. Seriously, why this?

Do u really think LP is harassed EVERY time she goes out cos she had dyed her hair? Is Boston so unused to ppl with coloured hair? ? Hardly unusual these days. And why post she's dyed it back if not for more, supposedly unwanted, attention

Yep. A lot of people 'latently racist'. Not Ellie or her mates though, they're the enlightened few, the 'secular priesthood' (good ol' Chomsky).

I haven't the faintest Idea, and nor do I think it's something worth speculating about, and certainly not something to attack her about.

We don't have to parse everything she says for ill intent, do we? A society that can produce bullshit like GamerGate is quite capable of producing arseholes who'll catcall a woman for her hairstyle.

Able bodied. . . for now.

Quite. On the subject of US weirdoes, when I taught at the "Dumb Blonde School" I had a class featuring a 'horsey set' girl and a goth chick. . . the former had a US passport I remember her telling her gothic colleague that she would, in fact, experience hassle if she walked down the street in the US. . .

Sorry to hear about the redundancy; good luck with the house.

My American OH says that catcalling is much worse in the US than here. I'm inclined to believe our Laurie on this one.

Is that the same place you made a student cry?

No, that was Brummergem.

We've all made students cry...haven't we?

Apologies in advance - Louis MacNeice

Yes, but not necessarily by reading them our poetry.

Apathetic bloody planet.

Never been to university.

You don't need to go to university to make students cry, silly!

 

[Louis MacNeice]

You don't have to go to university to make a student cry; it just gives you more opportunities.

There was a Student Grant strip in Viz which ended with him battered to a bloody pulp ("I took a term of law, and I happen to know that what you are doing is illegal"), but it's not on the net. So you'll just have to use your imaginations.

You need to in order to lecture at one, though.

You know what I think about the brats, but what did she do to cause you to go into incredible hulk mode?

They kept giving me one-word answers to questions, and I was reduced to thumping the desk with my fist and shouting "SENTENCES! SENTENCES! YOU HAVE TO REPLY TO ME WITH FULL SENTENCES!"
