• that You know, as a girl, I really feel bad for him. I think we forget that men can have daddy/mommy issues too. I also want to point out that he's barely 22, why should this ruin his whole life? All of us, can we remember what we were like at 22? What stupid ideas and thoughts we had? I think we should let the whole thing blow over because, to me, there are more worrisome things in the world than one silly guy who will probably wisen up in the future.

LadyLover I love how everyone just blatantly ignores the ridiculous, lady hating comments this fool 'Tommy Hass' makes. lol. What a sad, sad, sad person. Kudos to the commenters for passing on legitimizing his misogynistic vitriol! Oh, and Thor? You're an unsurprising example of what it means to have white male privilege in this country. Good luck with life guys, you'll both need it.

Days of Broken Arrows Decades ago, people would have to bow and scrape when they insulted religion (i.e. John Lennon and Jesus). These days, feminism is the new religion and we need to bow to their holiness. Feminists are the new nuns, the Junior Anti-Sex League telling us what we can and can't say about sex, lest we get our knuckles rapped. Nothing in the original blog post was so bad but in Feministland it's "sinful!!!"

James Wozniacki There's not much wrong he said. He's true. Society has been degarding, marriage is on a 50% failure rate. Also, hook up culture is rampant on university campuses. If he wants to make a proclamation, doesn't mean it's sexist. If women want to be treated equally and also in a manner that isn't befitting of a lady, then they should be open to criticism.

Sokratis This is so obviously satire; I cannot believe people are offended by this! As a male I identified with many of the points in his post but I never once thought he was serious.

Hi Thor peterike Hi Thor, nice to know despite the fact you hate the Daily Texan, you still read and bother to comment.

Peter Panther I am curious.
The comments seem to be more or less unanimous that Thor is a horrible person.
If that is so, why did so very many women copulate with him?
Do women really really suck so very very much at recognising a horrible person?
Or does horrible equal interesting equal sexy?
I wonder how much shaming language will be heaped upon me for this, in fact, serious question.
•
◦
Elizabeth Stoker Peter Panther Probably because they want to have sex, and only women are held responsible for selecting their sex partners for their moral character rather than the obvious: ease, access, and attraction. Do you imagine that women are generally unaware of the fact that a good chunk of bar scene men are morally reprehensible? It seems more likely that they just don't care: like Thor here, they're not in it for a lifetime of partnership, and I'm sure bro made an entertaining tale for the girlfriends.

Peter Panther Elizabeth Stoker This is an interesting answer indeed.
>ease, access, and attraction.
I can imagine "ease". With a man who’s not an egomaniac a woman has to do more work, probably show some initiative and - shudder - even approach him herself. Easier of course to let yourself be f*cked by someone who routinely pumps and dumps women.
I don’t give you "access". Non-horrible men are everywhere. It is just not as easy to get into interaction with them. (see above)
I am fascinated by "attraction". So you think that the results of that study are valid which found that women are attracted to the Dark Triad?
Do you understand the evolutionary consequence? There are so many assholes in the world because women fancy them. Being horrible is a success-strategy.
All those in this comment thread who are eager to lynch Thor should digest this. There is no such thing as The Morally Superiour Woman to defend.
>and I'm sure bro made an entertaining tale for the girlfriends.
This is nice as well.
It is A-OK to turn a bro into an entertaining tale. But telling entertaining tales about sis’ results in the mother of sh*tstorms, as seen on this page.
Anyone for another slice of double standard?
▪
▪
Lol Peter Panther Wow, Elizabeth Stoker just owned you.
▪
▪
Elizabeth Stoker Peter Panther 1.) When you watch porn on the internet, do you pick the videos by the ladies' personalities? No? Neither do women. By 'attraction', I mean sexual attraction -- the guy seems tall and preppy, which is cut enough, I'm sure, for some girls, just like it is for some men.
2.) 'Access' means 'sexual access'. This guy went around trying to sleep with people; people who were interested in sleeping together sort of gravitate to one another. I'm sure non-horrible men also have sex, so save your outrage.
3.) The idea that personality is purely heritable is silly. What an 'asshole' is is culturally dependent. Maybe there are so many people who don't understand evolution in the world because people who don't understand evolution keep breeding. :)
4.) Nobody cares when people share stories of individual experiences. This man was excoriating /all/ women. Anyone in for another slice of the false equivalency?

Oregonian One good thing, in a later blog post, Thor states he's begun looking into male privilege, and that he's never considered what it would be like to be a woman. He's posted a few feminist links. At least he's begun thinking critically about some of his problematic opinions.

TSchneider This Thor Lund guy needs to shut up. Like immediately. He needs a communication strategy at this point. Isn't there a crisis management resource handling this with him right now? He shouldn't open his mouth anymore, or else he risks leaking other insensitive information that could get him in serious trouble. All those follow-up posts, like the one where he mentions getting with a minor [16 year old] can now create major problems that wouldn't have existed otherwise. Working in the corporate world, I can tell you it will be very hard for him to break into any prestigious agency or firm, let alone any respectable law school. As of this morning, I have colleagues in Hong Kong, Sao Paulo and London who have somehow found out and already messaged me asking about this embarrassing situation, which affects the image of UT as a whole. The whole world is learning about Thor Lund now...they know. Sorry Lund, you have effectively and efficiently designed, painted and nailed your own career coffin. What were you thinking man?? Seriously. To all you students: social media may be fun, but it comes with a very heavy price today. This is especially so for anyone with big aspirations in business, law or politics. While in college, you should be working to continuously improve your professional image by adding value to yourself, not degrading others and closing down any future doors that could've opened for you. Key takeaway: think before you communicate, you ARE being observed [even by recruiters] long before you graduate - even if you don't know it..

• tl;dr people who can't read some solid points: grow up, this is satire, and it is meant to give a chuckle to the target audience which are males in the party lifestyle.
This is a perfect example of satire, people. He's poking fun at us straight guys in college and how we all (my single, frat boy self included) attempt to get a girl to come back with us when we go downtown. I personally found the blog post as hilarious because I can identify with what he is saying. He is taking the college hook up partying lifestyle, stepping back, and writing a funny post about his experiences in it. This does not mean that he is a "sexist, homophobic pig." I, in fact, found zero sexism and homophobia within the article and 100% truth. What he is trying to do is show us the popular partying lifestyle in today's college atmosphere and make it look stupid while also being funny.
Thor led the hook up life within the post, a life where the girls he hooks up with are usually looking for the same kind of freedom that he is. That isn't sexist. At all. It's the truth in this day and age. The post is from the views of a straight male, and thus being a straight male living in Austin, a very liberal city, there are transvestites at bars. He never talks bad about them, and instead gives the straight male reader advice to spot differences between a transvestite and a woman.
Let's run through these 11 things you learned, and how you misinterpreted them:
1. The naked thing is definitely true. I talked while naked in bed to a girl for eight hours the day after I brought her home, and two days after meeting her and exchanging numbers. I got to know her on a true level, and I shared things that I would not share on a dinner date. I felt a true connection to her, and have been dating that same girl for six months now, all because we skipped that stupid "talking" phase and immediately went from a hookup to being together and being comfortable while doing so.
2. This is psychologically true. Females with daddy issues notoriously crave or despise male attention. One can only assume that males are the same way. Its part of our psyche.
3. The special people in my life are my family, girlfriend, and my close friends. Everyone else, I will look out for myself before I look out for them. The random girl I sit next to in my AmLit class is not special to me. She probably isn't special to you. 99% of this university (that's about 45,000 people for those counting) is not special to me personally. Thor's metaphor is simply just saying that being in love with the first girl you ever met (or the one that took that V-card) is really nothing special compared to anyone else in the world who you haven't met yet. He is simply saying to not tie yourself down as a male, and to explore your options in life, as the more girls that you date will lead you to find that special one, who is the one that you treat like a special girl.
4. People know him. He's simply saying that his name is recognized around our campus as it should be. If I met a guy named Thor, then I would definitely associate the name with the office. He also says that he never mentions that he's SG president, as it is a pretentious title that he doesn't want strangers to associate to his personality. The friend is the one who says he is SG president, trying to help his boy out in the getting laid department.
5. Most guys know that a girl decides whether she finds you attractive or not by your appearance and by the first words out of your mouth. Thor is using the metaphor by saying that it has been like this for as long as history can remember, thus it is ingrained within the female psyche.
6. Thor is a new college graduate, and he doesn't have his life together. Point me in the direction of a recent grad and future Law student who has their life together. Mothers will always be mothers. It's a job that you cannot quit or retire from. Mine reminds me of this daily when I do my hair wrong in the morning or if my teeth are not white enough. I love her with all of my heart though. She means the world to me and I do not know what I would be without the work that she put in to raise me. I, like Thor, respect all women in the sense that they are effectively what allows our population and the human race to continue to inhabit this Earth. Women are individuals as well, just as much as men, and can do anything a man can and vice versa, except for this part of human biology. Of course, there are fathers in all of that, but it is the mother who carries the child and takes care of it after birth. For that trait, women have always been loved and respected since the beginning of history.
7. Your comment is absurd. He's simply saying that the girls us men worship like Halle Berry or Kate Upton will eventually grow old, and skin and muscles sag thus reducing the physical attractiveness factor. Old men also sag, bald, and usually have other gross skin anomalies. Thor reminds us of this, and reminds us to marry our best friend who we will love and live life with before we die, because yolo.
8. If a man is willing to groom his hair, facial hair, back hair, finger nails, toe nails, and whatever other hair is on the body then their "you know what" is probably in a decent quality. Since many women don't grow facial hair or back hair, then the toes are the only clue. If the feet are in a disgusting condition, then they don't take very good care of their body. If there's even just nail polish on her toes, then she knows hygiene is important and her "you know what" is in good condition.
9. This is a metaphor for reversal of gender roles. Even the most beautiful girl in the bar will be taken aback by a comment like this. The bar scene is ruled by women. No one can deny it. A guy sees a hot girl at a bar, try to buy them a drink because he sees her as a catch, and then denied because she realizes that she is a catch and he is effectively a loser. If a group of girls are walking down the street, then a bouncer comes out to the street, leads them down the block, and the girls get free drinks at the bar. They can always flirt with a guy for a free drink as well. I know girls who go to bars, bringing zero cash, as they always get guys to pay for their drinks, rides if not taking the E-Bus, etc. By saying something like this, he puts himself in the controlling position instead of the girl. I find the line funny and I wish that I had the guts to even say that.
10. Satirical metaphor within the context. That is all. But really, who LOVES being the President of the United States. Many President's see it as their duty to their constituents that they must lead this country in one direction or the other.
11. Come on, really? Are you even in college? Are you sexually active? Obviously don't answer those questions, but there were those girls that I would text "DT?" before heading out because we had the understanding of a no strings attached sexual relationship. It wasn't anything that meant that I didn't respect them, I just used them as much as they used me. I'm sorry that you might be offended or disgusted by my former lifestyle, but it is one adopted by many students both male and female, both greek and gdi. From experience and talking to my lady friends, they also usually get annoyed when a guy tries to text her all of the time to turn a night of a drunken debauchery into a daytime friend. If a guy who did not have a sexual encounter with her texts her all of the time, then he's instantly friend zoned. That's not sexism. That's the truth. Pickup 101 people.
Take this for what it is, satire. If you don't know what satire is, then I have no idea how you got into this university. If you need some common examples of satire:
Saturday Night Live - especially the "Weekend Run" portion
South Park - Hilariously funny for making fun of current events and social groups
Daily Show with Jon Stewert
Colbert Report - This a Daily Show are satires for the current events in the world
The Office - satire of an office environment
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - satire of post-Civil War
Animal Farm - Satire of the Russian Revolution
All of these shows and books are great examples of satires that readily offend a person or a group. Many people see them as for what they are, comedy. I'm sorry if you're offended, but if you're offended by Thor's post then you are probably offended when someone farts two rows in front of you during a class. You're probably offended when Michael Scott makes a racist comment towards Stanley in The Office. I'm sorry that most people cannot see this, but I find his post hilarious and a great read.
Good day, and thank you to all who read this.

• I do not know this guy personally and the rest of the world will most likely not.
I am in disbelief that somebody who could write such a blog post was ever elected as SG President for UT (I did not vote for him). It is disappointing to know that the (once) President of my Alma Mater's SG thinks this way and that he feels comfortable to proudly share this publicly. I think it is perfectly reasonable to expect that such posts be curbed from display in publicly accessible places (as it is now cached forever!). This inevitably affects the image of our institution as well as those associated with it. Instead of tarnishing UT's name he should be augmenting it, or nothing at all, especially given his notable position.
After having read his post it makes me less proud of being a graduate from UT then I did yesterday.

YB 1. When a girl goes home with a guy, it's because some part
of her trusts him. That's why she doesn't lie to him (and it happens to be in
bed.)
2. He has issues. He's admitting his issues. Acceptance is
the first step, good for him. People with issues attract each other? Maybe; I'm
not a psychiatrist. Do girls with daddy issues have a stereotype of being easy
or willing to do anything in bed…uhh yes, that's been around for about 50 years
if not longer. He's not exactly breaking new ground here.
3. It is useful to have context, and I thought people would
understand he's addressing young, horny college dudes that want to hook up.
Finding a random hookup in a bar and instantly putting her on a hard-to-reach
pedestal is dumb. Put the girl you truly connect with and love on a pedestal
(also your mom, sisters, and wife), not any rando that looks like a fun lay.
4. He's not "special", he's just lucky that his
friends can wing for him and he was SG president.
5. This IS completely accurate about evolution and natural
selection. Every point he makes has been scientifically proven, not some BS
from a Reddit post.
6. "Your mother is the single greatest person in your
life." That doesn't…wait…that doesn't sound like bigotry. Also, "love
your mother, and every other woman that will some day be a mother."
7. Right before this quote, he says "if you have
managed to marry your best friend then you have won." Explanation: 1. guys
like boobs and butts (no freaking s#!%.) 2. The older anyone gets, the more
certain physical features deteriorate. Like the two above. 3. So it's good to
marry someone you're friends with, not someone you only find physically
attractive.
8. "The first thing a woman looks at on a man is his
shoes." Sound familiar?
9. Advice to men to approach women with confidence, not
acting scared and shy. This is psychology 101. In most lists of "What a
Woman Looks for in a Guy", it's CONFIDENCE.
10. IT'S A FREAKING JOKE FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.
11. Pick up advice: text them all the time and you get
friend zoned. It's funny how generalizing this gets you a "sexist
pig," but "all men are assholes" is totally commonplace. He found
his method for getting laid (what most college guys want) and is just being
honest about it.

Meanness is its own punishment, for the very moment he sat down to write this, he subjected himself to the media's and his peers' abuse. He will get nothing but shame for this and by us complaining about him we are just expanding his reach to those who never needed to hear his hurtful words. We are all entitled to our own opinion. and I believe that we should be able to say what we think on this. But just remember that by talking badly about this boy, that you are giving air and life to his hatred.

• So, he deleted the original post and replaced it with this "apology:"
"I have deleted the post because it has cost me one of my very closest friendships. The most incredible woman I have ever met and who will some day be the first woman President is both ashamed and embarrassed by what I have wrote. It was never my intention to offend anyone, and I stand by the fact that you should always love and treat women with respect. They are the mothers of the future generation. There is no single greatest gift to life and the continuation of the human race than a mother's love. My heart aches over the loss of my friendship with this particular individual. She has done more for me in my times of most need than anyone I know. I am sorry I have offended and ashamed her and I will regret each and every day posting my satirical thoughts that cost that true genuine and loving relationship."

◦ He was elected by the student majority and unlike most SG Presidents, actually came through on one of his major campaign platforms (24-hour PCL). While you may not like what he stands for as a person, you can't say that he didn't earn that tuition by faithfully executing the demands of the office of SG president

▪ Funny how when someone has two policy platform points (both of which university administrators were already in the midst of doing) they can be said to 'accomplish' something when all they did was keep a seat warm while it happened.

Something Funny Andrew Bush • 2 days ago
▪
▪
▪ Money set aside in the student government's budget, I believe. It also does not cover all of their tuition According to their bylaws: "The Student Body President is eligible to receive an annual stipend not to exceed six
thousand eight hundred forty dollars ($6,840.00) or five hundred seventy dollars
($570.00) a month and a payment of tuition and fees not to exceed five thousand two
hundred dollars ($5,200)."

◦
▪
Haha Ralph • 3 days ago
▪
▪
▪ I agree, definitely some mental instability, especially this paragraph:
"I am tired of being a party boy. I am tired of being an example of a good boy gone crazy. Every single one of my friends besides my roommate thinks I am off the rails. Thank God he believes in me, because he is the only one. My mom asked me three days ago if she needed to call my psychologist and ask what is wrong with me. I'm not cool, I'm a dumb ass."

▪ This is an admittance to the fact that he lived his life like a party boy, but wants to change. This is after the fact that he has received death threats from across the world. The post was a satire of the party life and how silly it really is
▪
▪
Broseidon Ralph I think the stick is too far up your ass to realize what satire is.
▪
▪
▪
▪
Broseidon Ralph Which other blog posts were you referring to? The one where he talks about veganism? "God blessed me with a body that turns ice cream and pizza to muscle." OR the post where he talks about his day? "3:00 Drive to the Student Government office, its locked. Put a scoop of protein in my mouth and wash it down at the drinking fountain because I have no cups and no home."

▪

Oregonian Broseidon My favorite was the picture of the overweight woman saying something along the lines of "Somewhere inside this carnivore is a beautiful woman."
▪
▪
Luna Broseidon How about the blog he posted today on Body Shamming. And he openly objectifies a woman, he is friends with, on his blog talking about her body and putting a picture of her back side.
▪
▪
Tommy Hass Luna There is no such thing as "objectification" you mentally ill cunt.
▪
▪
▪

ar Ralph So...? You don't have to be his girlfriend. Even if he has these issues, at least the whole world knows about it and women who deal with him will know what they are getting into. Blogs are outlets, I really don't think you can judge someone based on a blog post.
▪
▪
▪
▪
JesHouk ar well, aren't you suggesting that women who deal with him should judge him based on this blog?
▪
▪
Texas Ex ar Blogs are PUBLIC outlets. Hand-written journals are private outlets.
▪
▪
▪
▪
Ralph ar Thank god. I wrote this sweet blog post on how much I love spitting on people's children in the park, and I was worried people would judge me for it! All I wanted was an outlet to discuss my hobbies, and now I feel comfortable knowing that anything I put on a blog linked to my name is free from judgement.

NA ar Actually, you totally can. I'm a blogger and a huge fan of blogs. Whether or not this is what he'll always think, this definitely speaks for who he is now.

Let's not blame his mother. He's (technically, if not emotionally) an adult now. At some point we all have to stop blaming our parents for our neuroses. Thor is a terrible person and it's his fault at this point.

Hi Thor Tommy Hass Hi Thor, glad you decided to check out the comments section again.

Ar deniseflores Thor Lund also engaged sexually with an underage girl this year, so says the blog post he made this morning. He quickly changed it since this story broke.
Here's the original post. http://imgur.com/a/4lQUw

http://webcache.googleusercont...
Isn't what Thor did here a felony? Someone should get on this...
▪
▪
Disgusting DS Wow, check that out. His post originally said "hooking up" with this underage girl. He changed it to "making out" before the screenshots Ar posted were taken.
Definite felony. Thor should probably be contacting a lawyer.
▪
▪
BK DS This is altered. Screenshots say making out, not hooking up
▪
▪
▪
▪
Tq BK Google cached pages cannot be altered; this is how it appeared yesterday at 11:30 am. All this means is that Thor edited his post to say "making out" instead of "hooking up" once the story broke.
Read the header of the cached page.
