Aeration is an important part of lawn maintenance.

He was attending a Catholic university. If any of those women had an abortion, why would they tell some crusading wide eyed barely adult zealot that they did a thing that could result in them losing their job?

Also, having had an abortion at 16, I’m pretty sure it has contributed to my success.

“I sort of doubt that abortion was a key step on their path to success.”

Wow, I don’t know if it’s the recent turnover in writers, but more and more I find myself really surprised at the tone of Jezebel’s articles. This is extremely unnecessary, and I hope you’re never confronted by something like this when you ultimately lose a loved one.

Intriguing that Zizek says he knows male professors who do much worse, but appears to have little inclination to condemn, intervene or protest THEIR behavior. “Well, men are much nastier, so Avital Ronel gets a pass.”

1. Believe victims. He was a victim.

Definitely not a good look when Zizek is defending you.

I was a graduate student around the same time with the alleged victim, in a different department. I cannot give you much detail, because I would like to stay anonymous. I took Avital’s classes, but she was not in my diss committee. I’m commenting on an article for the first time, but I felt like what I know should be…

Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ. This is heartbreaking. I don’t know if I’d be able to send my kid back to that school knowing this.

The misogyny of many developing countries has definitely provided a ready supply of younger women who are willing to make major compromises to get that green card. I cannot blame any of these women, though I think it often turns out tougher for them than they anticipated. I personally know three older white men (one…

My 65 year old father is married to a 25 year old. Before this he always dated relatively age appropriate (e.g. he was 60 dating a 45 year old) but honestly I think he found women his age too opinionated and demanding. He doesn’t want a partnership, he wants someone who listens to him, defers to him, looks up…

The one bonus of having had open-heart surgery as a child is that when I report vague chest symptoms to a medical professional I actually get taken seriously. I got hauled off to the ER once for what turned out to be a weird panic attack brought on by a reaction to a new medication, but at the time I was sure I was…

Yep. The heart attack signs for women are so useless it hurts. Extreme fatigue, disturbed sleep, a stomach ache, sense of fucking impending doom?  Sounds like being a god damned woman in the year 2018 to me. 

I just got out of the hospital for a possible heart attack (my troponin was elevated, but my EKG and echo were normal, so they are not sure). I didn’t have crushing chest pain or pain shooting down my left arm. I had pain between my shoulder blades, and the backs of both my arms hurt. I actually didn’t go to the…

It’s awful. I mean-- back pain, jaw tension, slight nausea? How many people do you know who DON’T suffer from these things regularly??

Oh no! Not a blue hallway full of old paintings! Essie, bring my fainting chair and the smelling salts! I’m about to have the vapors!

i was like this in high school too - my mother said i had a “hollow leg”. now im in my 30s and dammit.... i want my hollow leg back hahaha

1. She’s 15. She probably has a pretty rapid metabolic rate, you douche canoe.

2. How creepy and gross is it that this adult male author thinks it’s fine to comment on her body? Ugh.

Oh, yeah - she just grabbed this out of her closet, as some of her sycophants are claiming. So she cares so little about her position and her image that she even HAS anything like this in her White House wardrobe?

On the one hand, this is too stupid and heartless to be real, and one might forget the regrettable text sprawled across the back of a jacket if one has a big enough wardrobe and were grabbing something out of your closet quickly, then walked to the door with it crumpled up in a bag, then threw it on as you raced to…
