Gender Norms Are Questioned With Hashtag #MasculinitySoFragile
Social Media has been in a frenzy to shine a light on absurd gender stereotypes using the hashtag #MasculinitySoFragile. The social construction of men in today's society is under the impression that masculinity needs to be associated with crazy bro-isms. Most of which are due to some truly ridiculous marketing campaigns.
Just remember to buy the proper Kleenex brand or forever be considered a wussy.

Teacher of the Day: Professor Held a Single Mom's Child Through Class, Didn't Mind
This teacher has some definitely class.
(Sorry)
When a single mom in Nashville had to bring her child to class, he didn't care. When the small boy wanted to be held by the him, the professor was chill AF.
It's kind of great.
Local news channel WishTV has the story:
Amanda Osbon studies at DeVry University, located in south Nashville, and didn't have a choice but to take her son to class on Monday.
She told WKRN-TV her son, who is almost 2 years old, got up during class and wanted to be held by the professor.
Professor Joel Bunkowske, who Osbon says "was amazing, patient and kind," didn't skip a beat.
He picked up little Xzavier and continued to teach his class.
"Most of us in the class are parents, so everyone was very understanding that he was there," Osbon wrote..
She admitted it was embarrassing at first until Professor Bunkowske noted that everyone struggles, and that's OK.
He certainly beats yesterday's teacher who called a four-year-old evil for writing with his left hand.
So, well done.

These Web Comics Demonstrate Why Dogs Simultaneously Rule And Drool
Dogs, loyal companions, lazy wolves, and lingering odor generators. But alas, they are both teacher and student, possessing an inherent duality matched only by technology's proverbial (and literal) double-edged sword. However, they are much more cuddly than any app will could ever hope for. Below is a collection of comics that really capture some prime observations involving dogs.

ABC7 News in San Fransisco confirmed the crazy story happened:
[Jason] Juniel and [Broadus] Parker work for a tour bus company on Union Square. They kept at it until they finally got the attention of police, who then detained Brooks.
"The camera was in the bag angled up perfectly toward the hole cut about the size of half a dollar so the lens of the camera could see directly up a skirt," Juniel said.
According to SFPD, one of the officers took his camera and found more incriminating evidence, but only cited him under Penal Code 647 J2, disorderly conduct using a camera to look at women's undergarments.
Way to watch out for your fellow human beings.
