          It’s an entirely standard type of file. Files come in bastard cut (coarsest, for filing away stuff quickly), second cut (medium) and smooth (for fine work and finishing).

                I can see arguing about the fans reaction to Billie being harassed, but blaming Willis seems a bit odd.

                Does everyone not see Daisy desperately trying to excuse her actions because she knows she went over the line?

                  Or because she’s worried about being perceived as going over the line.

                  No argument that Ruth committed assault – she slammed Billie against a wall and forced a kiss. Daisy, on the other hand, got slammed (at her own request), and made a kissy-face. I’m not sure an actual kiss even happened. Personally I don’t consider the two serieses of events all that comparable.

      Daisy’s kind of an idiot, and Ruth’s out of her mind. Leslie’s got her head screwed on too well to pull a stunt like this.

      …although given this arc’s title, I’m wondering whether this is leading Billie into the arms of Conquest…

      Actually, I think that would be a good idea. Leslie would be compassionate, understanding, non-judgmental… she wouldn’t dismiss things as ‘not counting’ because Ruth is a girl, plus, she’d be an ideal person to talk to if Billie is, as seems to be the case, having mixed feelings about what happened.
      But no way would she hit on a student.

            Actually please ignore what he said. It’s NOT okay for either to do it; please note that in the comic Billie is angry and upset that these women have assaulted her and bothered by the event.

            However, women have been hurt by men for a very long time and it was considered okay, even natural, for a man to whack around a woman if she stepped out of line and to exercise sexual control of her as he wished. I’m not making this up; it’s entrenched in law in several cultures including westernized civilizations until fairly recently.

            What this means is that reversing this trend has been very difficult and has changing laws, moral notions and huge cultural shifts in the sexist (to both genders) notion of manhood as being dominant.

            On the other hand, there is no historical precedent for women mistreating men in this way and no evidence that this behavior is as deeply rubbed into our culture as that male-on-female violence or sexual assault. As such, a woman assaulting a man or even another woman doesn’t carry as much WEIGHT, historically and culturally, as if a man were to do it.

            Essentially, if a man assaults a woman, not only are there often the attendant physical dis/advantages at play (often but not always!) but also the huge recall of centuries – millennia even – of systematized, lawful oppression in which this was allowed and encouraged to happen. The other way around suggests just “regular” violence or assault.

            Just to repeat; assault is never okay whoever is involved. Fiction assault can be a part of a satisfying narrative but shouldn’t be excused in real life.

            And no, women are NOT more likely to be domestic abusers (what????) or rapists (whaaat??????????). I have literally no idea where that’s coming from other than simple conspiracy theorizing and misogyny.

              Part of it is the average age of your audience. You need to have acquired a certain amount of life experience to be able to chill out, take a step back, and consider that mitigating factors and context just might trump what seems to be clear and inviolable boundaries.

                Yeah no. The theory behind sexual harassment laws is that they apply equally well to any other sort of workplace harassment, and workplace harassment creates a “hostile work environment” iirc and people have some sort of a right to be socially comfortable at work. Discriminatory has not that much to do with it.

          It clearly is sexual harassment, and I don’t think anywhere Willis has indicated that its not. It’s not assault, the way it happened to Joyce, but it is understood as wrong for all involved.

        Daisy still at fault though. She want to know what happened between Billie and Ruth and asked her to demonstrate it so she did. Facial closeness happened because she reconstruct what happened last night and not asking for a kiss from Daisy.

          Daisy didn’t ask her to demonstrate. She said “tell me.” I think Daisy was wrong to think it was a good time for kissy face, but I’d like to clarify that she did not ask Billie for physical contact.

    Step 2: Put ball bag over head and make gashes for mouth and eyes, perhaps adding makeup touches such as lipstick to the mouth area for emphasis.
    Step 3: Put a blood red cross over team symbol.

    Ruth is abusive, but would kissing someone count as assault?

      For that matter, slamming her up against the wall and not kissing her? Last I checked, still yes.

      The word “assault” has taken on connotations stronger than its actual definition.

    …no one used the word “assault” at all, even though the kissee was grabbed and forced into a kiss by the kisser. It’s a funny ol’ world, eh?

      How is that the same situation? He was hitting on her, she shot him down, he was apologizing for putting the moves on her. She was flattered and grabbed him for a kiss. He clearly stated his interest. She responded. In the situation with Ruth, Billie was pushed against a wall by her adversary and kissed. With Daisy, it was not assault as she did notforce herself on Billie, so much as she importuned.

    Sooo… I’m having trouble seeing why people (including, apparently, Billie) think Daisy is guilty of anything worse than very understandably misinterpreting Billie’s actions here. Daisy asked Billie to tell her how the kiss had happened – probably at least partially for her own titillation, but I think also out of actual concern. She did not ask Billie to re-enact the event with her in the starring role, and seemed surprised and flustered by Billie choosing to do so. She did not push Billie up against a wall and kiss her, but rather just the opposite… Billie pushed her up against a wall, moved in well past the boundaries of personal space, and then leaned in even closer, apparently moving in to kiss her, all the while describing these events which had previously ended in a kiss. And, again, all this by Billie’s unprompted choice.

    It doesn’t seem to me at all surprising, unreasonable, or blameworthy for Daisy to conclude, at that point, that Billie was using this scenario to put the moves on her (and, Daisy being Daisy, it’s even less surprising that she’s totally okay with that), and to prepare to accept the kiss that seemed to be coming.

    And now Billie has stormed off in a huff, causing Daisy to realize that she was somehow mistaken when she interpreted a hot girl pushing her against a wall and getting intimately close to her as being a hot girl pushing her against a wall in order to get intimately close to her, and to try to cover her mistake, and her ass. And get the phone number of someone who might actually follow through while she’s at it.

      February 18, 2013 at 10:57 pm | #

      I think the problem, for Billie, is that she just had to deal with Ruth coming at her out of nowhere and then Daisy asks her about it and Billie’s thinking she’s got a sounding board in Daisy and then there’s Daisy looking like she wants to get at her too. She was pretty much at her limit when the run in with Ruth happened and this is just more of things not being what she expects them to be. In Billie’s mind, what Daisy is guilty of, is being just as “unstable” as everything else in her life.

    Maybe I’m just missing the point (or dead tired from work) but I’m not sure why Billie’s face is like that.

      In the previous comic when Billie was reenacting the scene, Daisy made a face like she was trying to accept the kiss.

      In other words, Daisy wanted (wants) to get a ‘lil lesbian something.
