Record 5 2017-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sociology of Communication
  • Offences and crimes
  • Social Problems
CONT

[The] warnings whispered in private among women in work spaces [or] spoken at the bar with other women [or that] appear in my email inbox or my Twitter [direct messages are] the whisper network that exists, informally, among women who want to protect themselves and other women from sexual harassment.

CONT

This news [of widespread sexual assault perpetrated by media men] has brought to the surface the private conversations women have been having — the warnings whispered to each other to avoid getting hurt. As women have written in the past few days, these whisper networks are a lifeline.

CONT

The prevalence of sexual harassment in our workplaces constantly shocks me. However, the more women who are willing to share their experience, the bigger this ’whisper network’ becomes. This can lead to a powerful, underground circle of empathy and safeguards.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sociologie de la communication
  • Infractions et crimes

CONT

C'est le privilège des hommes [...] de ne pas avoir besoin de savoir [les noms des prédateurs sexuels dans leur milieu de travail]. Pour les femmes, ce savoir, obtenu via [...] des réseaux de murmures, ce n'est pas quelque chose de trivial ou d'émoustillant. C'est un moyen de survie.

CONT

A soft bounce is a temporary delivery failure. Your email campaign got as far as the receiving mail server, meaning the email address was recognized, but the message bounced back undelivered instead of reaching the recipient's inbox.

OBS

Soft bounces can occur when the recipient’s mailbox is full; the receiving server is down or swamped with messages; the message size is too large; the recipient’s settings do not allow for email from the sender; suspicious or spammy content has been detected, and many more reasons.
