Because I was talking about it at the Guild meeting yesterday, here’s a worthwhile blog post about the turkey slap debacle. I keep returning to the author’s description of being humiliated in school, and her spot-on analysis of the aggressors’ defense (that what they did wasn’t sexual, because they weren’t interested in her sexually). She’s right; these guys are dirtbags, and the culture that encourages and tolerates such behavior is disgusting.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
