And today's installment of misogyny in the workplace....

takes place in Orange County, California. Irvine, more precisely.

I can barely summon the energy to write about the cop who ejaculated on a stripper he had been stalking and the jury of mostly men who let him off.

Actually, that's how the article describes the act, but the details suggest to me that it was much more rape, which is just about always acceptable if the female is perceived as slutty enough. Stripper? Perfect target! She must want it!

When the case went to trial, however, defense attorney Al Stokke argued that Park wasn’t responsible for making sticky all over the woman’s sweater. He insisted that she made the married patrolman make the mess—after all, she was on her way home from work as a dancer at Captain Cream Cabaret.

“She got what she wanted,” said Stokke. “She’s an overtly sexual person.”

Read the entire story here. These thoughts occur to me:

1. Perhaps this is why I'm nervous around police.

2. Perhaps this is why I don't particularly trust juries.

3. Perhaps this is part of the reason women don't report rape.

4. Perhaps I need to read about Harvard's first female president and write some interview questions for Gretchen at Junk Mail Gems so that the morning isn't entirely sour.
