By giving my name (Christina Headrick), my business, etc. online, and by trying to define my character in such a narrow, wrong way, I find it ironic that the poster is doing EXACTLY the same thing for which he/she accuses me of doing in relation to this case. What a hateful hypocrite... <BR/><BR/>For starters, I didn't attend this "potbanging" protest. Second, I didn't "make the names of every player available to every Durham psychopath" as some anonymous poster has described on various sites/blogs. The information that this person refers to was Duke's own information about the team, published on the university's own internet site, and available to anyone (including the media and many other websites/blogs that linked to or published the info from Duke). The information was cross posted along a variety of community bulletin boards discussing the case and I forwarded one of the e-mails with the Duke info to a discussion group after it came to me from someone else. Every single team at Duke has this information posted.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I participated in a community discussion about this case, which was a miscarriage of justice ultimately for the accused lacrosse players. The initial allegations were shocking, and I reacted to them... I believed the police, the DA, and the victim initially - and called out anonymous posters who made rude/hateful remarks on our neighborhood discussion group to identify themselves. Now I wish I had not participated in any of the discussions, especially given some of the truly threatening e-mails I have received from racist/sexist nuts. The whole thing has really taught me much about the country we live in. <BR/><BR/>I certainly regret participating in idle chatter about the details of the case, but I also encouraged groups discussing the case to try to make the discussion about various community issues (and not focus so much on the facts and controversies of the accusations involved). <BR/><BR/>I also commented as media coverage continued about the case that it seemed the DA had very little evidence and that the way the case was proceeding gave me a very bad feeling. At that point, I left the discussions about it, especially since it appeared that there would be nothing to come of them that in anyway helped address any broader community concerns.<BR/><BR/>Previously, I had participated in a community coalition made up of neighborhood reps, students, Duke administrators, and others to craft a plan about how to reduce binge drinking and it's related problems -- which included sexual assault, rampant drunk driving, noise, public vomit/urination, and other issues in our community. When this case happened, there was already quite a bit of anger about the behavior of Duke students in our community and Duke had taken some steps to try to start addressing the problems. <BR/><BR/>To date, nothing good has come of anything involved with this case. Those of us who believed local authorities and erred on the side of believing a sexual assault victim (many of us because of our own experiences or relationships with survivors of sexual assault) have all been villified. Certainly the lacrosse players themselves have all gone through an extremely horrible time. And today a woman is probably even less likely to report an assault in Durham as a result of the tremendous backlash against these allegations that turned out to be false. Again, nothing good -- and certainly little sensitive discussion of any issues -- has come from this scandal. I'm not trying to "hide" behind anything as this anonymous poster continuously alleges here, there and everywhere online. I don't appreciate being threatened or slandered by anonymous jerks either.<BR/><BR/>-- Christina HeadrickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-4706911355151872712007-09-23T12:29:00.000-04:002007-09-23T12:29:00.000-04:00Debrah wrote:(Although, I have to admit that I do ...Debrah wrote:<BR/><BR/>(Although, I have to admit that I do share the "leg" thing with her.) <BR/><BR/>Hence the boots.

In a passage reminiscent of a notorious feminist description of Newton's Principia (a "rape manual"), Irigaray argues that E=mc2 is a "sexed equation". Why? Because "it privileges the speed of light over other speeds that are vitally necessary to us" (my emphasis of what I am rapidly coming to learn is an 'in' word). Just as typical of this school of thought is Irigaray's thesis on fluid mechanics. Fluids, you see, have been unfairly neglected. "Masculine physics" privileges rigid, solid things. Her American expositor Katherine Hayles made the mistake of re-expressing Irigaray's thoughts in (comparatively) clear language. For once, we get a reasonably unobstructed look at the emperor and, yes, he has no clothes: <BR/><BR/>"The privileging of solid over fluid mechanics, and indeed the inability of science to deal with turbulent flow at all, she attributes to the association of fluidity with femininity. Whereas men have sex organs that protrude and become rigid, women have openings that leak menstrual blood and vaginal fluids... From this perspective it is no wonder that science has not been able to arrive at a successful model for turbulence. The problem of turbulent flow cannot be solved because the conceptions of fluids (and of women) have been formulated so as necessarily to leave unarticulated remainders."<BR/><BR/>You do not have to be a physicist to smell out the daffy absurdity of this kind of argument (the tone of it has become all too familiar), but it helps to have Sokal and Bricmont on hand to tell us the real reason why turbulent flow is a hard problem: the Navier-Stokes equations are difficult to solve.</I><BR/><BR/><BR/>@Debrah<BR/>Sorry to hear about your injury.
