Seriously, the fact that Artemisia Gentileschi is so rarely mentioned in art history while all the boring white dudes are talked about constantly and known by name is so fucking ridiculous.

I got hardcore catcalled while walking home with my boyfriend. It was the usual shit, calling me names: pointing out that my dress was short, did I wanna come party with them... I reacted (yelling at them to fuck off) and they laughed at me but when my boyfriend defended me, they got pissed and tried to come after…

Seriously.

Something like this happened to my uncle when he was looking at options for his honeymoon. He was looking online for plane tickets to Europe and saw a price listed at $20 per round-trip ticket. Assuming it was probably too good to be true but that it was worth the risk if they didn't honor it, he bought two…

It's not like the US at all. Families that can afford it build/buy large enough homes to house multiple generations of family members. It's quite common unusual at all for married couples to move in with one their parents following the wedding.

We just need to hit them back with an equally absurd straw man hypothetical... something like,

Good for you. That's the sort of work that men can do to help the feminist movement. Going out and make space for us and our voices to be heard in places where men are dominant and are taken more seriously. What we don't need is men coming into women's safe spaces and feminist spaces and talking over everyone and…

You clearly don't know much about family culture in India.

I agree with your first paragraph, but not necessarily your second. I believe the article described her size to emphasize how the professor had the upper-hand and that his completely ruthless action was not necessary.

That's a very popular one for strippers to dance to. It's super sexy with a consistent drum and bass beat.

“Men who want to be feminists do not need to be given a space in feminism. They need to take the space they have in society & make it feminist.”

Remember that time (by time I mean entire season) they didn't have a woman of color in the cast, so they had Kenan Thompson dress in drag every time they needed a black lady? Fucking awful.

I came to to say exactly this, you beat me to it

All the people who say they don't like her but didn't know she existed until her small role in 30Rock need to gtfo

Umm..? Did you just skip reading my entire comment before making a snarky comment? It's literally ONLY my personal experience from working at one school. Are you just trying to be confrontational or am I misreading your comment?

Oh, I'm fine now, thanks. The guy in particular got kicked out of the school for breaking into a computer room that wasn't for student use and trying to hack private wifi passwords. Unsurprising. Having to work with him was definitely a lesson in trusting my instincts about someone feeling unsafe and avoiding them…

I've worked with older students, like 18-19 mostly, but I've definitely met boys who I could see had sociopathic tendencies. One kid in particular stands out to me. He was highly manipulative of the girls in his age group and attempted to manipulate us (the teachers/TAs) into allowing him to break rules and…

No, no nononononono

Same here, although with my personal mental history, I'm more likely to raise a severely depressed child. Raising a sociopath is terrifying because of the harm they could do to others (Seeing 'We Need to Talk About Kevin solidified that fear for me), but raising a depressed/suicidal child is almost as terrifying…

I'm so sorry you went through that, and I'm glad that you managed, through your own strength, to keep yourself relatively safe and not become a victim of him. I'm also glad to hear that you're safe from him now that he's gone. Take care!
