A feminist summons a shitstorm via Twitter; a dude gets fired over nothing

It only works if its a guy. Women can't sexually harass. At least not until we get some real legislation, none of this kangaroo court bullshit.

It's all part of the same problem in my book. My stance is, unless a guy is harassing you, shut the fuck up.
You don't like a sexual joke in the work place? Shut the fuck up.
You don't like that calendar on the wall? Shut the fuck up.
You don't like it when men act like men? Shut the fuck up.
You don't like it when a guy calls a woman a bitch even though she was being a bitch? Shut the fuck up.
I don't care how uncomfortable you are, I don't care how offended you are either, unless someone is harassing you or threatening you, SHUT YOUR CUNT MOUTH. The entire male gender should not have to change to accommodate you, and this is what I am talking about when I say that people are missing the point.
You are absolutely right on every point.
All I am saying that it's just not practical to expect that no female ever will wind up deluded and entitled. If you do much digging, you find that Adria Richards is something of a nutcase. Where she came from or how she got this way I have no idea, but crazies like her will always slip through the cracks. It's better to be prepared to deal with it by telling her in no uncertain terms, with full alpha authority, that her demands are absurd and unworkable. "Shut your cunt mouth" may even be the right turn of phrase in some cases (but not all).

Us.
What the Unholy Hell was this company, PlayHaven, doing firing an employee who broke no laws, stood before no tribunal, and did not even act on the company's behalf, but his own behalf, on the say-so of a serial hysteric and Witch-Finder?
You see the problem? The problem in PlayHaven.
And the problem is corporate America generally.
Mark my words. I've said this before, and I'll say it again: The primary direct threat to your right to speak freely as a private citizen and an adult in a free democracy comes not from the government, but from your employer, who will fire you if some hysteric tweets about something you said in your personal capacity.
Why? Because they don't want the supposed "firestorm" such a tweet will cause.
They're cowards. And they will fire you for exercising your free speech rights as an American citizen if someone accuses you of breaking the Speech Laws on FaceBook.
Now, we can't change that either. The world is full of weak men. PlayHaven especially so.
But we can change incentives. As Milton Friedman said, we cannot expect to put good and noble people into positions of authority over us. He was speaking of the government, but his point applies equally to employers. He said we have to accept that the people with authority will continue to be be bad -- and we will only have real freedom and real progress when we change the incentives such that bad, weak people do the right thing.
Because the bad, weak people will be penalized for doing the wrong thing and rewarded for doing the right thing. They'll still be cowards motivated by fear-- but we can only have progress when we put the correct incentive structure of fear into them.
In the instant case, this means punishing, by any consumer boycott we can manage, PlayHaven, whoever the hell they are, until they re-hire this guy and give him a $5000 bonus as a shame-based cash-money apology for their own cowardice and weakness.
But this is not restricted to PlayHaven. This is going on all over.
What is needed is..." (more at link)

Rogan had Bill Burr on his last podcast. Good stuff. They go off on white knights and feminists. Rogan must have been reading this site. I'd never heard him actually use the term "white knight" until recently.

I had a not very constructive discussion with classmates about Donglegate today and pointed out that Adria Richards job title was "technology evangelist", which is not actually a job, and she used her twitter account to put a father of three children out on the street for almost no qualitative reason. I said that it didn't matter that he publicly apologized immediately, he was victimized by her behavior.
Lots of morons were trying to paint immature dick joke guy as the aggressor when nothing he did actually hurt anybody.

Here is another guy that got fired...for dating an 18 year old.
An East Ridge police officer was recently fired for having a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old high school student, despite an internal affairs investigation that determined he had not violated any department policies or criminal laws.
On Oct. 25, East Ridge High School Principal Tammy Helton contacted the police department after a teacher learned about a student having a relationship with a police officer, according to internal affairs records. The next day Rose, 29, was placed on administrative leave with pay and an internal affairs investigation began.
