The tendency of the right to act like "women" and "mothers" are interchangeable synonyms is a pretty big problem.

And I can't believe I forgot to mention that this is more of the same women=mothers bullshit. I am a mother, but not all women are mothers and not all women want to be, and using "women" and "mothers" interchangeably is a big part of the problem.

Flex time is important, and it was the only thing he said that worked for me AT ALL. However, I agree with many of the commenters below. The way he talked about it was sexist, and it was sneaky. It not only dodged the question, it snuck in the argument that it's fine for women to make less because they are being…

Also, it's a sneaky way to say it's ok to pay women less, because we let them work less.

No follow up questions? What kind of bullshit is that?

Yes! Actually, it is legal in Austin for women to be topless anywhere, I'm pretty sure. Haven't seen one since my student days, and it's never been common, but still. However, only at Hippie Hollow will park rangers kick out anyone who makes a naked person feel uncomfortable.

It is my new personal goal to find a way to work that sentence into conversation at least once per day.

Word. I got a 1210 on the old system when they had the honors classes take the SAT in middle school, and I test well and all, but I am not some sort of super genius.

Also, there is absolutely no need in our society whatsoever to try to even out the systemic racism and discrimination that leads to minorities in general not having access to those networks. None whatsoever. I, as an already privileged white girl, need that access to boost my career absolutely as much as more…

If it's the old scale, UT wouldn't even look at you if you're under 1200.

Or a 5 pound weight that he etched "40" on. I'm surprised he didn't go for "250"

Because it is unlikely that your attacker has training in how to use nunchucks, so even if they get them from you, they can't use them against you really. They are more likely to hit themselves in the face with them!

Oh, generations.

Or maybe one could hang it on a pre-existing over the door hook? I have over the door hooks for scarves, etc, and this would mean I could hang more stuff there. Though, I did once cause a hinge to bend down and the door to fall off because I hung too many coats on the door.

Exactly. No one is being accused of anything without evidence. You post up skirt photos, and someone reveals that you post up skirt photos.

Yeah, I think he might be someone who can learn, not necessarily a hopeless case. But this part: "wear something that forces a man to get to know your heart and not just your body." reeeeeealllly pissed me off.

I almost totally agree with you. My only caveat is that possibly the "let's protect the fragile ladies" end of the spectrum contains more men who could be taught something new if exposed to the right people and information.

Dude, there is actually no way to say "some girls rape easy" and have it not be awful. Even just now, me using it as a quote, kind of awful.
