This is a filed suit, not a settled case. I would like to see how many other pregnant employees there have been. If there have been multiple parents in their office given leave with no fuss, then it would lend credence to the Defendent’s position that the layoffs were just straightup layoffs and not related to any…

Well what you “feel” is at odds with the facts. Sorry but there is a world of research.

“the fact that a brain sitting in the head of a biological male cannot possibly know what it is like to experience the world through any other lens”

you are confusing biological sex with gender. Sure, she has a y chromosome and all that. But her gender is a psychological construct. It was never ever male.

I realize its hard to grasp, but think og it like this. She was not born a male. She simply was not. She had all the physical attributes of maleness (penis etc.) but her brain and by extension her soul was always female. Always. Imagine if all of the sudden you got a full body transplant and got put into a different…

The American Communist Party just pulls its hair out every time someone calls him a communist.

Hear Hear. As a native Tennessean with a family reunion every year. I have to say this whole this was offensive. And not in the “funny because its ironic” offensive.. just dumb, tired and insulting.

What the fuck goes on at Boy Scout camps? Are they all like little reenactments of Lord of the Flies?

I honestly cannot see a reason why anyone has to to “hold their enthusiam” for graduating high school. Seriously.. go crazy.. I mean be quiet during the speeches, but make a party of the whole thing. Maybe they will stop being boring as hell

God this is so typical. There are so many uptight administrators who try to enforce their view of decorum on everyone else.

Yeah I thought of this too. Even thought that it might be a mistranslation or trolling. but guess not.

I’m all for sex-positivism and for honest sex-based education. But common sense tells you to get parental buy in before taking kids to an adult establishment.

Agreed, the idea that erections make men stupid is insulting. The whole idea only exists to excuse horrendous behavior.

Um since my partner and I both sleep naked. Does that mean that we HAVE to do it every night. Hey! Dr. Ruth, sometimes we’re just sleepy.

The policy on its face is illegal. The wonder here is how they managed to go this long without a lawsuit.

“The problem with this line of thinking is that hipsters, for all their insufferable pretension, are more often than not very, very on point with food”

WTH!! You put Okra at the bottom! Tempura okra is just fried okra.. also known as the closest thing we have to evidence of a just and loving god. Some may think that this is a matter of subjective tastes and personal opinion. Nope you’re wrong. :-)

I suspect that the poor advice is a product of her generation. When she was an undergrad, it was probably not an option to go to the university itself. In this case, she could start by directly addressing it with the adviser. That of course might be too difficult for her, and if so, she could go to HR.

I have really been torn about the man spreading thing. I appreciate that I as a man am not entitled to more space. But I swear Its the natural way I sit. I swear I try to squeeze it in when there is little space.

Okay that settles it. I hated these damned places before, now we move to firebombing.... kidding. But why the hell are we not done with the whole “unhealthy food and sexual harassment” as business model.
