Gender-Reveal Party Leads to 45k Acre Forest Fire

When Dennis Dickey lined up his rifle, he was ready for a surprise. That is the point of a gender-reveal party, after all, and Dickey's inanimate target was ready to yield its unpredictable answer just as soon as he fired. But it wasn't his child's gender that was to offer the biggest bombshell of his family bash last year.

That distinction goes to the wildfire he started.

The 37-year-old Border Patrol agent pleaded guilty Friday to violating U.S. Forest Service rules and starting the Sawmill Fire near Tucson, Ariz., while off-duty.

"Dickey had placed Tannerite, a highly explosive substance, inside the target, intending for it to detonate when shot by a high-velocity firearm bullet," the U.S. attorney's office for Arizona explained in a statement.

Tannerite is a name-brand explosive powder. "When shot with a high-power rifle," the company says on its website, "it produces water vapor and a thunderous boom." And the company even sells an $85 package that offers "everything you need for a gender reveal" — including pink or blue powder.

Actually the article did by calling her Ms. Were assuming their assumption of their gender is accurate, unless fake news.

Gender reveals are cancer, dont @ me.

One of your best opinions to date.

I'm surprised there hasn't been some sort of article arguing the semantics of terminology of gender reveal versus sex reveal. Sex reveal seems more accurate.

How three scholars gulled academic journals to publish hoax papers on ‘grievance studies.’

The journal in question—Gender, Place & Culture—published a paper online in May whose author claimed to have spent a year observing canine sexual misconduct in Portland, Ore., parks.

“Our Struggle Is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice Feminism.” The second portion of the paper is a rewrite of a chapter from “Mein Kampf.”

fucking amazing

An heroes, all three. That's amazing...and unfortunately not at all surprising. Thanks for posting it, I would hate to have missed it.

What did surprise me is that there is an actual Journal of Poetry Therapy. Really?

Oh boy, Gred's gonna be really really upset you're talking shit on peer-reviewed journals.

They made a feminist version of Mein Kampf and it was accepted? So, the word "feminazi" is no longer hyperbole?

I lol'd

Has the publication released a response? This isn't just a tarnish on the publication, those people doing the peer reviews are gonna get shit on academically, more so than they are now.

Shit like this happens all the time. Entire rings of fake peer reviews or tit for tat reviews get found now and then. All that generally happens is a retraction gets issued that gets about 1% of the attention the original articles so not only do the people who already cited it often not realize but often it can get citing after without people knowing it's been retracted. Sometimes when they can prove misconduct the people involved get fired from whatever research project they were involved in and on a rare occasion they get fined for the money they wasted
