Boy Talk

I wonder if Jeph had prepared two possible follow-up chapters to the last one :') Fun stuff

The thing is, no matter which "-ism" it is (racism, sexism, ageism, whatever), the "nice" folks always get victimized the most, generally because they complain the least and/or try to make the offender feel OK about it. The "nice" folks also tend to be the weakest (independent of massive pecs), and are one huge reason we need friends, supporters and activists willing to speak on their behalf. Go, Jim! Renee, chasing her own issues, failed to detect or prevent the issues she was creating for others. An odd thing to do, especially when she was testing Brun's hypothesis of her being attracted to Elliot! She's really a bit blind, a bit clueless, and a bit self-centered. But isn't that significantly different from the sensible, supportive and caring Renee we've come to know and adore? It MUST be love! Or at least heavy lust.

Yeah, sexual harassment does not specify the genders of the assailant or the victim. Renee is lucky that Elliot is kind-hearted, and that Jim is a good manager.

Whew. I was a bit creeped out by the previous strip; glad to see Jeph knows what he's doing :)

This was brought up in the discussion yesterday. Of course, we should have learned to assume by now that Jeph is way ahead of us.

ROTFL :)

Wow. I didn't think of it like that, but he makes a really good point.
