Sexual Harrasment: Does no mean yes.

The first mock trail of David Jones resulted in David Jones being innocent. This is mostly not because no means yes, even though she did say no, she did not assert herself. Also the story of the torn shirt was not reliable, she said that it was torn as she left and she said it was torn as he grabbed her.  The word no does mean no, but people use the word no playfully sometimes and sometimes to express surprise or disbelief. If someone said that they are coming out with some new futuristic electronic device I would probably say “No Way” or NOOO. But those just mean really tell me about it.  Also if someone says no and then keeps kissing the person and then keeps laughing and keeps saying no, I do not believe that, that way of saying no truly does saying no. if a woman does not want to have sex with their boyfriend, but still wants to kiss them then instead of saying no and keep kissing him, clarify and say “no I don’t want to have sex with you.”  Saying no simply does not cut it in certain situations.  If you mean no show that you mean no. If you say no but you keep on going with the touching and the kissing your body language is not saying no.  Also saying stop would have helped and saying forcefully.  In the cases against Notre Dame I believe that the schools should be more swift with their investigations into rape cases whether they are false accusations or not action should have been taken.

Spelling bee

This show was my last musical at DHS. I was the student technical director which meant that I got to be in charge of building the set. I like staff crew it's fun it's physical and sometimes challenging because of set design flaws and other problems. I miss this set it's huge it took two months to build and it all went down in one day, it is now a pile of rubble on the floor of the auditorium. It's sad to see something that took hard work and effort to build go down in one day although breaking things can be fun.
