<p>I'm sure it has been mentioned on other forums, but I didn't see a topic here on "College Life". So, what do ya think, kiddies? Of course it wasn't an actual senior project, but either way the girl sure had a lot of time on her hands.</p>
<p>Karen</a> Owen's Duke Powerpoint: Horizontal Academics Goes Viral - Speakeasy - WSJ</p>
<p>I found another site with the actual PowerPoint slides, but it is a bit inappropriate. I don't want to receive an infraction from the mods.</p>
<p>who cares?</p>
<p>That’s really bizarre. Obviously she did not mean for it to go viral, but I wonder how she’s dealing with it? I don’t think I could handle it well…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>OH LOOK! THERE’S THE “BACK” BUTTON!!! It’s at the top left corner! See it?!</p>
<p>I figured since it was a “college” related thing that I should post it here. Also the reason why it caught my interest is due to the fact that it deals with the idea of publicly exposing someone’s sexual behavior, something that has been in the news recently surrounding the unfortunate incident that happened at Rutgers. This is just another example of making private behavior public.</p>
<p>And to reesezpieces103: Hmm, I haven’t read enough reports to get her side of the story or how she is dealing with it, especially with the comments that people posted at the end of the articles. I think it might be embarrassing for the few subjects as well whom she rated their sexual performance as a 1 out of 10. Ouch. I’m wondering who was the “friend” that leaked the PowerPoint online?</p>
<p>dirty slag</p>
<p>and yes I think promiscuity in males is also a negative trait</p>
<p>I read an article saying she’s had to deactivate all her social networking profiles, change her phone number, has been contacted by Duke administration, etc.</p>
<p>Unfortunate.</p>
<p>lmao it was such a funny read! all guys MUST read it to get a good perspective on what women want in bed</p>
<p>I feel bad for this woman. She has terrible friends. </p>
<p>It’s unfortunate. I don’t think the woman is innocent or anything- far from it. I think this power point is disgusting and she shouldn’t have made or distributed it. On the other hand, she gossiped among her friend- something we are ALL guilty of. Hers just happened to go viral. </p>
<p>But the death threats and other disgusting slurs that have been thrown her way are unfortunate. Yes, she made a HUGE mistake, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to harass her.</p>
<p>That girl put way too much thought into that joke… 42 pages of powerpoint sldies? Ridiculous.</p>
<p>I agree, romani. She’s also said that she regrets doing it. </p>
<p>I think it’s interesting to note that frats do this sort of thing all the time.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I do hear about frats doing this sort of thing (I mean, not the PowerPoint, but discussion of their sexual encounters)</p>
<p>romanigypsyeyes: I was reading some of the comments from posters on various sites and some of them were quite wrong. I agree that she doesn’t deserve that, even though she wasn’t as innocent as well for broadcasting her (and those guys) business like that.</p>
<p>This is just another instance, unfortunately, where people should just keep their business private =</p>
<p>According to the link in the OP she’s already gotten a book offer… poor thing indeed :rolleyes:</p>
<p>although I do agree death threats are ****ed up</p>
<p>
Well you asked what we kiddies thought of it, and that’s what I think of it… I wasn’t knocking your post here in any way. I was referring to the incident itself.
And people publicly exposing sexual behaviour is nothing new. Remember Lena Chen back in 2006 with her blog Sex and the Ivy? I recall a few more sex blogs popping up everywhere after that. And then earlier, there was Belle de Jour who made it to bookstores with her The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl, and then to that tv show, The Secret Diary of a Call Girl</p>
<p>and aghh who can forget Tucker Max?</p>
<p>@rymd- I think that’s different than what this woman did. She only sent it to a few friends, not the whole world.</p>
<p>Hope she has HIV. </p>
<p>/thread</p>
<p>^ uhm? that’s kinda mean, no?</p>
<p>she can do w/e the hell she wants, and we’re getting hell of a kick out of it, its a win win.</p>
<p>I heard some pretty f*** up stuffs from NBC news to some other media outlets, something along the line that the way she expresses her sexuality shows feminist power and generates gender role change. </p>
<p>I think what she does is quite odd. You can gossip (almost everyone does) but put your sexual encounters in written words with a power point slide ?!? Moreover, I keep thinking about the poor guys who are ranked last and how the #1 guy may brag about this . </p>
<p>What has the world become ?</p>
<p>nothing more empowering than getting drunk and bedded by some guy who leaves the next day</p>
<p>and I’m fairly certain they wouldn’t be saying it’s empowering and feminist if she slept with a bunch of neckbearded obese WoW nerds.</p>
