Fine, but the “misunderstanding” seems to have been that the inspector told the owner that their license was in jeopardy because that law exists, which suggests that inspectors can use it to make these threats if bathrooms offend them. It looks like the Division of Liquor Control saw the negative press and tried to…

Put an M and a W on the doors on a little wheel so they can be spun upside down as needed.

I have a PhD in psychology from a department with a strong cognition and neuroscience bent. I remember asking one of our seminar speakers - a semi-prominent neuroscientist - whether he had found or even considered gender or racial differences in a study he was presenting (which had clear, glaringly obvious potential…

This is so true. Many aspects of the scientific world are anything but unbiased and rational, and yes, that does include attitudes towards women and the work they do.

This is the face of a man who says, "actually" at least two dozen times a day.

I can’t imagine how frustrating it is for you in that field. I think the general population has an idea of scientists as these unbiased, rational types (which unscrupulous scientists use to snow people IE physicists denying climate change and using their prestige to push the idea of ‘No scientific consensus’ when it…

I’m currently pursuing my PhD in Neurobiology and have made this a huge part of my career since I’m interested in pursuing a career in science policy just as much as doing bench research. I see this attitude all the time in my department and previous labs I’ve worked in at other institutions. The default is always…

If this is not the corner of Faux Woke and Male Privilege, I don’t know what is.

This cat is not my cat. But this cat wins the grump title. 

I nominate my cat Shelby as the new official Grumpy Cat. Or at least Resting Bitch Face Cat.

There was segment on a radio show I heard a while back talking about an office dispute about a janitor getting caught dinging one of the lady workers cars and refusing to pay for the damages. So the lady gets him back by leaving turds in the urinal for weeks. The call to the radio station was from a different employee…

I don’t have any clever punishment ideas or good stories of office theft, but we DO have a major problem with the “privacy rooms” in our office. These rooms are for new mothers who need to pump, and there’s a whole calendar scheduling situation for the women in the office because you gotta stay on schedule!

Seriously... and going through the trouble to try and cover it by butchering the other plants?

I happen to be sitting in one of the few good ergo chairs we have in the office and I got it because after the ceiling collapsed in the old office I was the only one who came in to the “emergency” space to work. In addition, when we moved it was just me and my boss doing the packing and unpacking so if any of these…

I would totally guilt the hell out of them, via office email thread: “Someone has dug up and taken my succulent plants from an arrangement that was given me because it has been a tough year; my mother is fighting a tough cancer. I would like that back please, no questions asked, as it is dear to me, and MY MOTHER HAS…

Oh no a chick flick. His eyes could have burned out of his head. 

A friend of mine shelled out for an Aeron for his home; he was doing an Open University degree so he was spending three or four hours a night studying after work, and a crappy cheap chair was destroying his back. Even with “designer’s discount”, it was the thick end of €1,000.

This, and termination for actual theft of personal property.

I don’t understand a pharmacist being able to say no and not give it to anyone. Its their job to dispense medicine. They have to much power/ say so over who gets what based on their own personal beliefs. Quit if it bothers you that much that you can not do your job.....dispense medicine.

This is fantastic! I love that Jezebel had a physician with expertise in this field write something easy to read and comprehensive!
