University finds prominent astrophysicist Lawrence Krauss grabbed a woman's breast
An investigation by Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe concluded this week that high-profile astrophysicist and atheist Lawrence Krauss violated the university's sexual harassment policy by grabbing a woman's breast at a conference in Australia in late 2016.
"Responsive action is being taken to prevent any further recurrence of similar conduct," ASU's executive vice president and provost, Mark Searle, wrote in a 31 July letter to Melanie Thomson, a microbiologist based in Ocean Grove, Australia, who is an outspoken advocate for women in science. Thomson, who witnessed the breast-grabbing incident, received the investigative report from ASU's Office of Equity and Inclusion (OEI) and shared it with Science.
In response to an email asking what specific actions the university is taking, an ASU spokesperson wrote: "Professor Lawrence Krauss is no longer director of Arizona State University's Origins Project, a research unit at ASU. Krauss remains on administrative leave from the university. It is the policy of the university not to comment on ongoing personnel matters."

They'll write books, achieve honors, show a brilliant true science activism, but they'll have the same urges just as any cel would.
FTFY.

To burn the word by overuse.
Does it trigger you? After a while you get as desensitizes as for the "special snowflake" or SJW.
It won't be cool to use it so I'll see a lot less of it.

Rather than berning it, it just seems to get funnier each time it's used (especially when used by a certain master of the incel arts who I will not name).

Definitely a bigtime incel.
Probably a dork who watches anime like the chick that grabbed my breasts--and then attempted to wrestle my hand over to her boobs (god damn that woman was strong, probably had an order of magnitude more testosterone than me!) so that I would know what "the real thing" was like--as a way of reminding me that incels like me need to know their role and stop being homosexual and gender non-conforming!
(As we know, acts like that are not about kink; they are about power. But there I go again, talking like an incel.)
Death to incels! Police be upon them!

God, no, we've never even met in meatspace. And she has the unflattering distinction of being both the fourth transwoman I've met online total and the fourth transwoman I've met online who's been batshit insane :/ She's a walking argument for the TERF worldview.
