Oh myyyyy...
Because sexism and a general "boys' club" atmosphere is typical of academia, and English Lit faculties in particular.
If I was a clever man I could probably turn this into a sandwich joke somehow, but I am only a silly, scatterbrained woman so I can only say this: "You bitch, Ernest is MINE!"
Oh my God, this is amazing! Thank you for this link, I'm laughing so hard that chocolate milk is spraying out of my nostrils (sorry for the visuals...)!!!!
Marion Zimmer Bradley! One of the profs marking the thesis wrote a nine pages long rant about why he hates popular fiction and fantasy written by women and that clearly, all Bradley did was write a revenge novel about her ex-husband and why didn't I look at all the male authors who also wrote about this subject…
As someone working in academia whose M.A. almost didn't get approved because I dared to write about a feminist fantasy author I am not at all surprised this dickhead is allowed this bullshit behaviour. Despite a large number of incredibly talented and amazing female English Lit profs the whole field is somehow still…
But, that's exactly what Julie Powell did, and she got two book contracts out of it plus a movie deal! Sandwich girl might actually be on to a winning formula here, ka-tching!
And now every time she serves the latest creation to get closer to that amazing dream goal of hers he yells: "This. Is. A SANDWIIIIIIIIIICH!!!" So romantic, swoon.
Too late. :-( I feel sick now actually, ugh. There are some disturbing fuckers out there, that's for sure...
Sorry to disappoint, there isn't. :-(
By it's very nature, satire is meant to "not sit well," that's the whole point. See the infamous "A Modest Proposal" by Swift.
If you see ACTUAL trees in an ACTUAL forest, then yes, you CAN tell which ones are older because they are almost always stronger, taller, sturdier, etc. And yes, we DO value/acknowledge the beauty of ancient trees over younger ones. Ancient oaks were sacred to the Celts, the Kauri trees in New Zealand are admired for…
Where the heck in Europe do you go?!?!? The laws concerning prescription-only meds are about 1000 times stricter here than in the US. My dad always has to stock up on all sorts of stuff for me when he is in the US because half of the stuff they sell in your simple drugstores would need a doctor's visit plus a…
Well, now you know how us curvy, plus-sized girls feel 99,99% of the time when browsing through any type of magazine... I am pretty much Nicki's physique and still remember my stepmother telling me that it's just so unfortunate that no matter what size I'd always look big due to my ass, but please, continue crying…
I KNOW, right? I may not be as toned as her right now due tor lack of exercise, but otherwise I have pretty much the EXACT same figure and all it ever meant was that I was too, um, "womanly" to fit into a decent pair of jeans!
I misread it as "12 hours" actually, and that of course can easily be done! 12 days would definitely kill someone, no doubt. but you are wrong about the lemon juice, that would be going against the rules of the qu'ran. NO eating or drinking AT ALL during daylight hours.
Well, Muslims do this during ramadan too and they don't die. It can be done, obviously.
I think this used to be true when VS shows started out, but if you compare VS shows from the early 2000s to now you will actually be shocked at how much thinner the girls now are. They used to be these shapely, curvy women that one could almost call a "normal" weight, sigh.
She is perfection!
