A female student has been banned from the yearbook for wearing a tux in her yearbook photo.

I was struck by a male comment-writer&#8217;s reaction (quoted by Hugo): &#8220;I don&#8217;t know any heterosexual man whose head doesn&#8217;t turn when they see [female] nipples. They are like kryptonite to men.&#8221; So nipples cause slow, painful death for heterosexual men? Damn.

It assumes that men are simply incapable of self-control and focus in the face of sexual arousal, and it assumes that because of that weakness, women have to do the work of making public places &#8216;safe&#8217; for their brothers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mousewords.blogspot.com\/2005\/02\/you-gave-up-your-freedom-when-you.html\">Mouse Words<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/joe.english.purdue.edu\/blog\/node\/71\">Dr. B&#8217;s Blog<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/feministing.com\/archives\/000965.html\">Feministing <\/a>report on attempts in Texas and Kansas to take away the right to privacy from anyone with ovaries.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.legendgames.net\/myblog.asp?view=plink&#038;id=609\">Robert Haye<\/a>s calls this picture &#8220;Escher Does Legos,&#8221; but I think &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/jheer.org\/blog\/archives\/images\/lego_relativity.jpg\">Legos Do Escher<\/a>&#8221; would be more accurate.
