So the guy posts "can you tell me what this cloroform smells like,?" and there is a huge uproar and they are ready to crucify him. It is an obvious play on a joke from the movie "hall pass", "Does this bar napkin smell like cloroform ?"

Why is it ok when hollywood does it ? I know 2014 was a signature year in terms of feminazi issues, but let's not overcorrect. Humour is humour.

the guys who posted it are idiots. There is a legitimate concern about attacks on women - how they can think this stuff is funny is beyond me. Basically they sound like they are frightened of women. I don't blame women on campus getting pissed about this. As one woman dentistry student said, she doesn't want to sit in class with these guys, and I don't blame her. What about if this group had been joking about Jews and came up with "can you tell my what Zyklon B smells like?" Plenty of women are assaulted by men using drugs on them.

I don't say expel them, but suspension seems about right - maybe they have to wait a year to graduate. And have the Candian Dentistry Assn monitor these guys when they do become dentists. Would you want your wife/sister/daughter going to these guys for dentistry, especially knowing some dentists have used drugs to assault their patients?

Anyway, some of the victims have chosen restorative justice. Since they did, I don't see why the profs have to mix in and try to push for something different.

Sorry to break the male bonding. When feminist hysteria goes overboard, where women are to be believed without evaluating the evidence about sexual assault, I speak out against that. But when guys make dicks out of themselves, I speak ot against that too.

It's 2015, it's completely unacceptable that you would think you could get away with saying that, let alone thinking it," said Baylis.

Let that line sink in for a bit.

andyt andyt:

Plenty of women are assaulted by men using drugs on them.

Plenty is more or less a wild exaggeration, even just assaults are very rare.

[andyt]

define rare?

[Delwin]

The Movie "Hall Pass" grossed 85 Million so I feel safe saying that there are plenty whom find this brand of humour funny. Not my brand of humour per-say but I read the comments on the CBC site and they are all but calling for these guys heads on a platter.

It was idiotic, yes. But most humour is made at someones expense and I have heard far more tasteless jokes go unnoticed.

I guess if I'm caught saying, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning!" I will be branded as a sociopathetic warmonger.

Lighten up people, lighten up. It's a movie reference for Christ's sake.

Like this?

According to self-reported victim data from the 2004 GSS on Victimization, approximately 512,200 Canadians aged 15 and older1 were the victims of a sexual assault in the 12 months preceding the survey.2 Expressed as a rate, there were 1,977 incidents of sexual assault per 100,000 population aged 15 and older reported on the 2004 GSS; a rate not statistically different from that of the 1999 GSS (2,058 per 100,000 population).

A small fraction of sexual assaults are reported to police. Hence, as expected, the numbers for sexual offences according to police-reported data are markedly lower, compared to figures from victimization surveys. Police-reported data indicate that in 2007, an estimated 24,200 sexual offences were brought to police-attention. At a rate of 73 per 100,000 Canadians, police-reported sexual offences were down 3% over the previous year, but still accounted for 8% of all police-reported violent crime in 2007.

Was the movie directed at actual people the way the facebook post was?

[Delwin]

Here it is...

[Delwin]

Again, posting it on facebook was idiotic but have you never turned to a friend a asked if he would copulate with a specific female ? (Sub copulate with an actual word people use)

If his privacy settings had been set properly, this would not have been an issue.

[andyt]

Of course. Didn't ask him if he wanted to hate fuck her, nor if he wanted to drug and rape her. This is more than guys objectifying women sexually - we all do that, and women do it to us.

I'm sorry, I don't think like these guys do, and I wouldn't want a woman I care about seeing them as patients.

[Delwin]

So is it the use of the word "hate" you take issue with or the movie reference?

Urban dictionary:

Hate fuck:

The act of fucking a person that you despise. Such an act is typically characterized by name calling, roughness, and immediate departure after the act.
The girl was a loud mouthed hippie who talked shit about me at a party once, so I took her home, hate fucked her, and kicked her out.

[andyt]

Yeah, exactly.

[Delwin]

Because sex should be about love ? And you should dictate that ?

[andyt]

It's a wide line between love and hate.
