Sorry pervs, no pics. Can degreeinfo's pedophile-pandering pornographer Thomas "Tailpipe Chip" White afford to ignore the lucrative bestiality market?

Quote:Yale hosts workshop teaching sensitivity to bestiality
By Katherine Timpf, on Mar 05, 2013

On Saturday afternoon, [regionally accredited] Yale hosted a “sensitivity training” in which students were asked to consider topics such as bestiality, incest, and accepting money for sex.

During the workshop, entitled, "Sex: Am I Normal," students anonymously asked and answered questions about sex using their cell phones, and viewed the responses in real time in the form of bar charts.

The session was hosted by “sexologist” Dr. Jill McDevitt, who owns a sex store called Feminique in West Chester, Pa.

Survey responses revealed that nine percent of attendees had been paid for sex, 3 percent had engaged in bestiality, and 52 percent had participated in "consensual pain" during sex, according to an article published in the Yale Daily News on Monday.

Event director Giuliana Berry ’14 told Campus Reform in an interview on Monday that the workshop was brought to campus to teach students not to automatically judge people who may have engaged in these sorts of activities, but rather to respond with “understanding” and “compassion.”

"People do engage in some of these activities that we believe only for example perverts engage in,” she said. “What the goal is is to increase compassion for people who may engage in activities that are not what you would personally consider normal.”

McDevitt referred to the range of activities discussed in the workshop as “sexual diversity.”

“It tries to get people to be more sensitive … to sexual diversity,” McDevitt told Campus Reform in an interview on Monday. “We’re not all heterosexual, able-bodied folks who have standard missionary sex.”

Several students submitted discussion topics about having incestuous sexual fantasies. Attendee Alex Saeedy '15, told the News that he at first found this surprising, but then "thought it might be more of a psychological thing we all might have.

"I think that's what the point of the workshop was — to bring up things we thought we so taboo and desire or urges we criticize are just regular parts of sexual psychology," he said.

During the workshop, McDevitt taught the approximately 40 students that just because people think something is deviant does not mean that it is bad.

“It’s sensitivity training,” McDevitt told Campus Reform. “Don't judge other people, because we all have something we are embarrassed about.”

The event was part of Yale’s Sex Weekend, which ran from Feb. 28 through March 3. Sponsors included Yale Women's Center, Undergraduate Organizations Committee, the Sexual Harassment and Assault Response Education Center at Yale, and SeLF: The Sexual Literacy Forum.

Apparently McDevitt was a student in the RA Widener PhD program, but quit. Her PhD is from an undisclosed but admittedly unaccredited program.

Here's one to add to your "fake degree" red flags: You can find naked pictures of the person more easily than you can find where they got their alleged doctorate.

Quote:I decided not to complete my Ph.D. in Human Sexuality at Widener back in November, which I blogged about. I just can’t justify the absurd amount of money, plus I didn’t feel the program adequately took into account the work that I’ve done in the field. Too “ivory tower” for me. Not that there is anything wrong academia, but at this point in my school career, I want a professional degree and spend my time doing school work that will benefit my career, not spend my time writing a dense and clinical research dissertation that will only be read by other academics. Not helpful for me right now.

Since November, I’ve been looking into other programs. I’ve narrowed it down.

First, I’ve been looking into programs abroad- England, Australia, Canada. That’s because Ryan Tyler and I are looking to take a little break from America. Between transvaginal ultrasounds and 85 year old women in wheelchairs being stripped searched by the TSA, we decided we can’t be here anymore. I was going to get out via the student visa route, but realized all the human sexuality doctoral programs abroad are even MORE expensive than Widener (as an international student), and just as mumbo jumbo academic. So currently, as it stands at this moment, our plan of attack of getting a visa is for Ryan Tyler to get a job in another country, if he can find one. As for the doctorate, I have found two different schools that meet my needs perfectly, and they are distance ed, so I can complete the work whether I stay in the US or move! They aren’t accredited, but at this point I don’t care because so far they are the only two that are affordable and provide what I’m looking for. Now it’s a matter of narrowing it down to one.

Quote:Last you heard from me, I was freaking out about being a “failure”, not knowing if I should take my doctoral comprehensive exam or not. I decided to not after talking with faculty at school. If I was pissed at the process and “ivory tower bullshit” before, I’m livid now. I called to seek advice about whether I should postpone the test, and the response I got was “Well, as someone in the academy…” This makes me not want to finish my doctorate- at least at Widener. At this point, I feel like it’s not about learning anything, it’s about proving things, and being pompous and being in “the academy” (that’s not to say anything about the wonderful people I know who have doctorates from Widener, just some individuals I feel suck the fun out of it and make it seem stuck up and stereotypically what turns people off about academia)

No one I sell dildos to or teach blowjobs to cares if I have a doctorate. Only I care. So I’ve been talking to colleagues who have done professional doctorates in human sexuality as opposed to academic Ph.Ds., which is more for people who want to do clinical work, research, college professorship, or other “academy” type things. For my purposes, I think a less rigorous, less academic doctoral degree will suite me better, and I’ve been trying to seek advice about whether I should transfer out of Widener from other sexologists.

Not to mention it will cost me $50,000 to finish at Widener (on top of the approx $112,000 in student loan debt I already have…) and I’m having a hard time justifying the expense. Between Tyler and I, we have over a quarter of a million dollars in student loan debt. It’s frightening! If any rich person wants to donate to the Jill McDevitt Doctoral Degree Fund, I’d graciously accept!

"Between" being a preposition, the correct pronoun would be in the objective case, i.e., "me," not "I." You would think a "PhD" candidate with $112,000 in "education" might know that. It really is frightening. Maybe a little more actual studying and a little less vibrator time?

Isn't that the sort of thing you should figure out before you drop $112K? This is like going to Wrigley Field and then wondering why all these guys are running around playing baseball. What did she think a PhD was about?

Of course, as we've seen from certain other self-appointed "experts," being completely out of touch with reality seems to be a prerequisite.
