I’m kind of seeing it. I had never heard of her before this article, and sought out the podcast she was on that someone mentioned above. I wanted to really like her, but the more I listen to her speak, she just sounds kind of dumb.

yes!!!!

She looks like she should be in an 80’s hair band! Not sexy!

I loved the ending with Don because it seemed like he was finally in a place (stuck, in a sense) where he had to face himself and let go. I saw him hugging “that guy” (ha, love that description) as a tremendous step of growth for him. People are bugging on Don for being a dick, but he is finally learning to show love…

Beards! They are becoming a negative indicator, not a positive.

This. We don’t know the everyday ins and outs of her life, and women in the public sphere are often expected to expose so much of themselves already. Political views are often an intensely personal thing, and I think smart people prefer to open up about it in venues that give them the proper space and time to go into…

Don’t know why, but whenever I see stuff about him, I get sociopath vibes. Dude creeps me out.

lol, ok

I find it insulting that you think women can’t care about complex ideas, and also like dance videos. Stop with the idea that we have to be either/or - I would argue that it’s that attitude that drives most misogyny: That because women enjoy certain feminine things, means we can’t handle complex ideas as well.

I find the criticism here kind of misplaced. All of the stuff you’re talking about in the article is pretty obviously made out to be dream sequence/fantasy stuff - who doesn’t fantasize about the way we wish things were? It doesn’t make you a horrible person to think about the things that you would do if you if you…

Lol! “Psychological warfare via film” That sounds like fun, cute fighting, and not terrible fighting ;) Good for you!

I think it’s also a matter, especially when you might have low self esteem (like I have in fits and spurts even as an adult), that when you start out dating and you date weirdos and jerks, that you come to realize that you deserve so much better. We may not all be 10’s, but if you’re an intelligent girl, then you…

What a fucking dick

Agreed. He seemed like a slimy dude who knew from very early on in the interview what he was ultimately going to go for. His weirdness in asking the question I believe came from an internal sense that he knew he was taking the interview in a completely ridiculous direction.

My issues aren’t actually usually all that bad - they just kind of exacerbate under stress, and this being near the end of the semester - yes I’m in that place of going through some panic.

I have had the same experience of realizing that sometimes, when I encounter people I don’t like, or think that I don’t get along with, that often if I just spend more time with them and get to know something else in their life - I learn to overcome my initial judgments. It’s an interesting awareness that…

That’s sort of my inclination - I’m not sure I feel comfortable sharing details, but I had an interaction with one of my instructors recently where she was - not exactly pressing me - but she seemed to want me to explain myself. It sort of spilled out of me (in tears, no less) during a discussion that I have been…

That’s definitely nice to know - thanks!

Good observation

Ugh. This is so interesting and so appropriate for some circumstances I am currently going through. I’m in graduate school, in an arts type program where it feels like there’s this very blurry line between people perceiving you as competent and talented with a future in the field, or whether they’ll see you as…
