Im talking about the general theme of Kipnis’ article on the fact that students are adults who can give consent, not on the case at Northwestern between the student and Ludlow.

I’m obsessed with the girl carrying the pillow.

OMG “mattress feminists”. Dying of laughter right now. Brilliant and this is totally what im calling these morons from now on.

I think the students who made the complaint should be penalised for wasting everyone’s time and for causing Kipnis undue harm. And also for being fucking morons and an embarrassment to feminism but unfortunately that isn’t against the law.

Way to do more harm than good for the cause kids.

There is a pending Title IX complaint Stephen Eisenman, a fellow faculty member Kipnis brought as her “support person” to meeting with the Title IX investigators. Eisenman is the President of the Faculty Senate and openly criticized the secretive and labyrinthine Title IX process. Students are now asking for Eisenman…

I think the title of this post is misleading. Long story short: a female undergrad accused Ludlow of sexual assault and a grad student independently accused him of rape. Kipnis’s article basically accused the graduate student of lying, of being melodramatic, and of harming Ludlow. Title IX prohibits retaliation…

seconding all the historical authors mentioned and Ilona Andrews. I don’t usually fall in love with paranormal romance, but the Kate Daniels series is so badass. I’ve read all of them at least twice.

Did ya know that the assholes that filed the Title IX compliant also filed one to the faculty member that accompanied her to Title IX compliant meetings because his participation created a threatening environment (although the union/association she belongs to provides this person to attend such proceedings and it’s…

Good outcome, but the “prosecution” shouldn’t have taken place. As a result of this process, the temperature has been chilled everywhere. If you know an academic with Twitter or Facebook, you know they are thinking thrice before posting anything mildly upsetting.

Unclear on the concepts.

I totally forgot Thea Harrison and Loretta Chase from my list!

You should give them another go! They’re not like the awful Harlequin novels of my youth (though to be fair, there is still a lot of TERRIBLE romance out there). There’s so much great, well-written and compelling stuff. You just need to find a few authors that you like.

Ooh, I just started Wicked Intentions and this is perfect!

All the romance novel discussion around here these days make me think I should give them another go. My neighbor kind of killed them for me when I was a teenager. She gave me a trunk of old books. They were all romance and I read ALL of them. And like 4 of them were good. I never picked up another one after that, but…

That was a good one. Elizabeth Hoyt is usually on point with the sex scenes. My favorites in the series are the one about Silence and the river pirate and Duke of Midnight...I think that is like the 5th or 6th one.

While Regency and Victorian are my JAM, the 1700s are fascinating. Thank you for highlighting this author’s stuff! Now please take away my credit card before I hurl it at Amazon. PLEASE. I beg of you. *dies under pile of books*

For me, Wicked Intentions was my least favorite of the series. One of the reasons was I could not get behind Lazarus and his white hair. I know this is probably very shallow of me. Maybe I would have enjoyed more if I would have pictured Lucius Malfoy though :)

Kelly. You got to interview Elizabeth Hoyt AND Lisa Kleypas? You are living my best life. If you ever get to chat up Laura Kinsale, think of me. All jealous.

I certainly don’t think he’s a fool on domestic issues. Dan doesn’t commit himself to anything that I find abhorrent or stupid. And as a person whose opinions about economics and governance don’t even fall on the spectrum of American politics (my social views are on the Left side of Left), I find myself enjoying the…
