Does Adele's hit 'Hello' normalize sexual harassment?
« on: February 05, 2016, 09:55:54 AM »
Once again the idiots who teach our children are demonstrating why they have no business teaching our children.
Quote
The University of Oklahoma’s Gender + Equality Center says Adele’s song “Hello” helps “normalize sexual harassment."  In a series of posters distributed on the university's campus, the group cites the hit single's verse: "I must have called a thousand times."

Kathy Moxley, Director of the Gender + Equality Center, explained the song was chosen in order to direct the attention of students during “Stalking Awareness Month” to an issue they may have otherwise ignored.

But there is one voice of sanity in the article
Quote
Dan Gainor, VP Business and Culture at Media Research Center, told FOX411 the posters undermine the importance of the message about sexual harassment awareness.

“I think creating a ridiculous comparison undermines the true horrifying nature of stalking and sexual harassment. The bureaucrats who did this aren’t helping women,” Gainor said. “I think the university needs to talk to its staff and tell them to stop being idiots. Their goal is to educate and help protect people. Not hold them up to ridicule.”

"Does Adele's hit 'Hello' normalize sexual harassment?"

No.

It re-normalizes previously normal behavior that has been wrongly misidentified as "sexual harassment".

Wrong "Hello"?

Perhaps a bit tame. I'll try again:

Still doesn't cross the threshold? Ok:

(D)Ummies would give it a pass though. Anyone know what the (D)Ummie name of the gal in the drive through is?

FWIW this is how I feel about rap music:

But the nwa "song" is kinda funny the first time.
