i second this. This is a complete waste of resources. This is a situation that needed to be handled by the school and the parents. Bullies beating up the geeks everyday (i've seen some nasty bruises in my time), doesn't even get a "shame on you", and here is this guy getting arrested for non-physical offensive statements...EcksTeaSea said:
This kid is fantastic. I applaud him for his efforts and would enthusiastically support the creation of this list anywhere else in the nation, if only to serve the creation of Facebook fap lists.
In all seriousness, he was stupid to post this stuff on the internet. But I think his idea is brilliant nonetheless.

Admittedly he took it a little too far by handing out copies, but atleast he was comitted. And fair play to the kid i dont know anyone who would have the balls to do something like this, expelled or not he'll have acheived legendary status at his school.
Some people need to chill.

Actually that is a crime. Look it up. Ranking/nick naming ANYONE (which is a personal opinion). Then posting and/or passing out his personal opinion, (in a public forum) that will directly impact how others are perceived publicly. THAT IS SLANDER and goes against a person's civil liberties. This situation would be NO DIFFERENT if he had said "Jews" or "Blacks". But I guess since it's about "Women" it's ok, then?Father Time said:
Is he a misogynistic douchebag? Yes, and that's putting it very mildly.
Is he a criminal? No. Not really.
A more fitting punishment would be to line up all the girls on the list and let them full-on slap him in turn.

I never said girls like assholes, I put that in quotes to show that it is what people say. Girls normally like guys with confidence, assholes usually show a lot of confidence, therefore people assume that when the girl likes the confident asshole, they like the asshole part of him rather than the confidence part.zeldagirl said:
Guys don't like women who sleep around, as it is entirely illogical, both from a rational perspective and an evolutionary one. Guys may like women with sexual experience, but that is not the same thing at all. If a guy is attracted to a woman who sleeps around, it is because they think she will put out, not because they actually like her as a person. She is seen as an easy lay.
No, a lot of guys don't have this notion that they have to be "pure", and I am not suggesting that a girl must be so in order to be attractive. Somebody who doesn't care who they sleep with on the other hand is seen to lack standards and self respect. Obviously this isn't necessarily the case, they may just like casual sex, but that doesn't bode well for someone who is looking for a committed relationship because they will assume that the person isn't likely to be faithful. Again, this isn't necessarily true, but it isn't far-fetched.
I don't buy it. You say that the entire system is designed out of a hatred for or fear of femininity, but there are stigmas against women who are perceived to be too masculine, as well. How does this fit into your model?zeldagirl said:
Yes, the woman is often judged for making a poor sexual decision while in high school. Men are, sometimes, as well. For the sake of brevity I'll admit that at the age we're discussing it is the exception rather than the rule. Until men are able to carry children, this will probably continue to be the case.
In primate social structures, the male is, generally speaking, the one who does all the posturing, and the female makes the selection. This is why most primates have a polygamous structure where a few males have sex with many females. This is the evolutionary stuff from which we have sprung. Our brains have been hard wired by tens of thousands of years of evolution to view a male who has sex as being successful in being selected, and viewing a female who has sex as having made her choice. Women who sleep with idiots or sleep with multiple guys not only come off as a bit indecisive, but as failing to understand or properly utilize the power they wield. Women have the sexual power in society, not men.
That's right. I said women wield the sexual power in Western society. Think I'm being silly? When people say, "sex sells", to which gender's form are they usually referring? If you think of a woman's sexuality as a night club, which club is more prestigious, the club that lets everyone in without a cover, or the one with an exclusive guest list? Following this analogy, who is perceived as cooler, the club goer who is denied admission to even moderately exclusive clubs, or the one who comes and goes as they please? Even then, though, that person's "coolness" is defined by someone else's choice. That someone else being the owner of the "club".
Women are able not only to define their own social status through their actions, but the status of men. That's power. Feminism seeks to destroy that power, and I think that's irrational.
I think it's more the fact that he made this list publicly available - humiliating and objectifying many of the girls on the list. Yeah, we all do stuff like this between friends but this is probably going a bit far. Then again, getting the police involved is probably also going a bit far.

Seriously, this is just stupid. High schoolers will be high schoolers, in a few months most of those girls will look back on this list and laugh, and in years, probably remember it fondly through rose-colored glasses. This kid, however, is going to have his life fucked for something that seems fresh out of an American Pie sequel.Zer0Saber said:
Anyone who thinks this is anything serious needs to get out of their parent's basement and go talk to a real life girl who isn't some raging fem, they'll tell you it's dumb and roll their eyes. Actually, I'm curious what the ladies in this thread think, and where you tend to fall on other issues of gender equality, if you think he should be severely punished. How many people calling for his beheading also spell "women" with a "Y"? Or is that sexist to only ask the women? =X
One last thing, anyone who doesn't think that girls do this shit all the time is a retard. And, how many of you were morally outraged by that South Park episode where the school's girl made a list like this of the boys? I mean, clearly, that's like making light of the holocaust.
In that case I apologize, but it looked like YOU were saying "girls like assholes."Legion said:
I guess my main point in my previous post is that it seems you rely on a lot of generalizations, when human experience has shown that attraction and long lasting relationships function on a wide spectrum that do not always conform to those generalization or perceptions. Like you said about not "necessarily being true, but isn't far-fetched," I say, I think that's incorrect - it's a little more far-fetched than you would imagine. A lot of what you say seems to be perpetuated by the media, but, again, there is a whole spectrum of attraction of wanting to be in a relationship with someone, and the sexual aspect is just one facet of that.
I'm sorry but what are we talking about here...
His hormones were acting up so he decided to find himself a legitimate reason to stare at those girls. (Yes a stupid reason to stare but heck hormones do funny stuff)
He also then listed every rumor he could find about those girls. (So the rumors were already out there... he just summed them up)
And as a final thing he made up nicknames, 50 nicknames... quite imaginary.
If someones daughter is on that list she was on that list because the whole school had rumors about that specific girl.
Childish? Yes.
Should have done it? No.
Police involvement? Go waste tax money elsewhere
I rest my case, this isn't weird behaviour, We all do it!! he just made it public.
I won't respond to any comments on this post, my 2 cents, I do not condone his actions but this is police behaviour gone to far.
