Message: [QUOTE="hjoerring, post: 2062321, member: 3630"] This is meant for you and ETT. Geno straddles, as he does sometime, all sides. But hear here. One of my first post to the Boneyard a couple years ago handled on players who dominant for the most of their college career, but were less and less in the WNBA. I focused specifically on 2 Stanford players-- Candice being one. As to her claims. For me, harassment (of all kinds) has no time frame. And it takes place on individual and/or group bodies. But when those claims are called into question, it is downright silly and unproductive to offer the following incitement-- it is her/his experience, so you cannot set question marks around it. This would reduced all experiences to some form of radical individualism where everything that can be said is equal to everything else. No, we have ways of verifying claims and ways of rendering our claims verifiable. Candice is not dumb-- she has, from the newspaper article cited here-- walk back the 98% claim to where it is now-- a way of speaking (But the effects have already played their tricks and she is now the 'Talk of the Town'. I think Geno's talk about forms of 'intimidation' is very interesting. But also his talk about being in touch with other players, coaches, etc. Information gets around. Because she takes her experience so seriously, she should have specified in her piece a lot more detailing thn she has. I read her pieces and felt it was raw meat thrown to hurry people who are looking for confirmation of this or that We should not have to wait for her book to get the 'facts'. Perhaps the editor took her in a direction that she is unaccustomed. Those who have worked with editors know that the marketing begins long before the last puntum is placed. For those of us who are busy freeing ourselves from the traffic in 'reverse discrimination, the only point worthy of pursuing is that of harassment. By defining herslef as a sort of lone feminine against a (98%) majority (gay culture) she has (inadvertantly- perhaps) reproduced the very structure she is screeming against. Perhaps, it wa better when it was US (hetero) against them (all those not identifing as feminine = gay). [/QUOTE]
