Being in Year 10 can be difficult because, let's face it, you're aged about fifteen and that sucks. I found Year 10 cruddy, if not for the saturation of shitty New Romantic Eighties music, but for the fact that the students were given a Talk. The sexes were separated (I attended a co-ed school), and we had a talk about safety and sexual assault. There were a few rooms of girls, and one of them had a teacher sum up with, 'So girls, don't be getting around like tarts.' If it wasn't for the moldy looking green eyeshadow she wore, I would nowadays think this woman could have been mistaken for that arsehat cleric who likened women to exposed meat, should they dare dress immodestly. I'm glad I wasn't in that woman's group because I think I might have challenged her, thus spending the remainder of the week in detention. What exactly is a 'tart'? Also, I thought we should have the right to get around dressed and acting as we pleased, provided we kept within the parameters of legislation and didn't encroach upon other people's enjoyment of life. It propagated the trope that guys can't control themselves and girls who dress or act a certain way are asking to be assaulted. I don't know what the guys were told in their special talk that day, but I hope it included the points that no means no, people are allowed to withdraw consent, and you don't touch people sans permission.
What got me thinking about that subject is the news that a male staffer filmed himself masturbating over a female MP's desk. This just reeks of entitlement and smug superiority, some snotty fuckwit establishing his male dominance by leaving his mark like a dog pissing on a post. When given The Talk these days, will kids have to be told it's not okay to do this to someone's property? Anybody with a modicum of common sense and decency would know you don't engage in Onanistic activities over someone else's property. And why film yourself? ('Hey, look how stupendous I am, everyone! I'm having a wank over a woman's desk!'). Who hires these morons? Will the key questions in the job applications from here on in include one about whether applicant thinks there is a problem about going into someone's office and indulging in self-gratification, and FILMING IT?
Don't get me wrong: I believe masturbation is healthy and normal. If anyone wants to rub one out, by all means do so; but if you are at work, then go into a toilet cubicle and do it. I will have to type this slowly, and I am flabbergasted that I have to type this at all, but: jerking off over a person's property in the workplace is not acceptable.
Did the wanking grot (who has since been sacked and rightfully so) wipe up his nut-juice or did he expect the cleaner to do it?
Strewth, I hate people at times. This is why.
The now unemployed staffer is probably attending employment agencies as he seeks a new position. I wonder is he specifying it must be a desk job?
