But what is your backup situation like? I mean, he sucks, but what other FA QB out there gives you a decent shot to be relevant this year? And unlike my Vikings, you didn’t have to give up draft picks for him.

God hate you Pats fans and your wet piece of cardboard division

It’s society’s problem. Women are expected to pick up the slack. Dudepheelio is fucking awesome, as a lot of men are. But until we stop expecting women to carry the emotional load, nothing will change. I WANT parental leave for men. I WANT my male coworkers to take time off to care for their kids. I WANT men to be…

It shouldn’t be an assumption that people in a certain age bracket have family responsibilities, but it also shouldn’t be an assumption that they don’t. The US is so fucking weird about this. I’d argue that work/life balance includes being single and going home on a Friday and watching Netflix with your cat/dog/fish!…

You don’t want the kids in your neighborhood growing up healthy and happy? I do. Those kids are going to take care of my sorry ass one day. They’ll be my doctors, the EMTs who come save me when I push my I’ve fallen and I can’t get up button, my hypothetical kids’ teachers, my gardeners, the CEO of my cable company,…

“3. People often confuse confidence with competence, which means a lot of big talking men get put into positions of power even when it is clear they are incompetent.”

I would generally say that any person who brings up IQ “differences between people” is trying to justify their racism with a misunderstanding of social science.

Meritocracy as received religion. I’m sure that if you cornered this guy, he’d tell that he sincerely believes that sexism, racism, homophobia, et al. are “bad.” But he’s unable to recognize that there are deep structural biases against women, minorities, and LGBTs because of his faith in what he sees as a perfect…

This! This guy is literally a walking bias.

Your heart is in the right place, but you’re wrong. When race is used to discuss nonhuman things, it is a synonym for species, but within the context of humanity, particularly as it compares to ethnicity, it formally draws its definition from the sociological and social science concepts of each wherein race denotes…

I despise it when anyone associated with my field can be so hoodwinked by psudeoscience and so ignorant of the realities of humanity so that they can confirm their own “greatness”. I have found that people who take this tactical kind of hate to heart are people who are not nearly as good at their jobs as they like to…

He also acts like women want work/life balance just because, rather than their male partners often don’t clean the house, pick up the kids from school, stay home when they’re sick, etc etc etc. Emotional labor is very real: http://www.metafilter.com/151267/Wheres-My-Cut-On-Unpaid-Emotional-Labor

These points can’t be true. It says right in his thingy that he thinks we need to value reason over feelings. And clearly *he’s* not the one being controlled by his feelings.

“I mean sure, someone might say discrimination hurts them, but that’s just an emotion which doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters are facts and the fact is some people are just genetically inferior.”

Meh. “Race” is commonly used to describe “ethnicities”. Welcome to common language usage.

Wow, he’s wrong on a lot of things.

It’s actually funny, cause a century ago, women consistently scored lower on IQ tests than men. Then we started formally educating women and they entered the paid workforce, and their IQs shot up. They are now consistently a touch higher than mens’ IQ scores.

is trying to justify their racism with a misunderstanding of social science.

Right! It’s almost like people who go to better schools and are exposed to more educated people in their immediate vicinities and interactions might have an opportunity to increase their IQs that someone less advantaged wouldn’t. Not like anyone is born with a 170
