School apologises for 'slut-shaming' prom posters about 'appropriate' dresses suggesting women 'to blame' for rape

Summary | A Florida school was widely criticized online after a student shared posters that were put up in the school depicting what appropriate women's prom dresses look like and what kind of dresses are inappropriate. These posters were labeled with "good girl". The outrage is around the mysoginist language (degrading women to girls) and the mere fact that women's styling of their bodies is strongly policed and tied to accountability in sexual harrassment cases. The internet responded with a hashtag on Twitter with many contributions and the school's administration has since apologized.

It can be operated by voice command or text messaging and it can make toast, operate his lights or front door, or shoot grey t-shirts out of his closet. Its voice is the voice of Morgan Freeman. The only problem is that not all household appliances can be hooked up to the chatbot since they do not have wifi connectibility.
