Well, from a grammatical perspective, "women doctors" and like is just a mess. Nouns should not modify other nouns. So the technically correct adjective-noun construction here would be "female doctors," but that sort of phrasing is very clinical and some people chafe at that. I would probably choose a construction

They're talking about women they're running against in elections and voters. There are no "girls" in either of those groups.

To be honest, and I've said this on here before, given the circles she runs in I'd have been shocked if she hadn't tried cocaine. It's everywhere in the posh, West London arts-and-media crowd. Saatchi's new girlfriend has been to rehab several times, once aged 19. I'm offered it in the toilets in Chelsea/Kensington

No but seriously - shut the fuck up! How about,

My sister works in marketing and the people who have badly mistreated her, ridiculed her and made dismissive remarks about her ability to do the job well behind her have exclusively been men. I work in academia and can say the exact same thing. It is an utter myth that men don't bitch and gossip and start petty office

Even after male actors do horrible horrible things like:

Example: No one is discussing the impending Hiddleston or Gosling backlash...

They taught latin at my (public, secular) high school. It's actually quite useful.

Writing things by hand facilitates important neurological connections that are crucial to retaining information and learning in general. It would be a great loss to humans if this dies away. I think it's kind of serious.

When my dad was murdered, the first thing I did was update facebook and livejournal. It was the only way I could reach out to my friends because I was in shock. After that, I watched with complete detachment as my comment stream blew up. I remember thinking very flatly that I'd never had so many comments and likes on

People grieve differently. She's in shock. I know 7 hours after my dad died I was on Facebook, Twitter & IG bc I was home alone with only my thoughts & my disbelief. I was grasping at straws. All I knew in life was in pieces. I knew that, sadly, the Internet would "be there" for me so that's where I turned. I'd have

It is blaming the victim because it actually has nothing to do with it. Women drink all the time and don't get raped. The only time they do get raped is when there's a rapist around.

I respectfully disagree. All things being equal, sure, but seeing as how the scales tip heavily in favor of ads and campaigns advising women on behaviors that may increase their vulnerabilities rather than adds advising men to, you know, not rape people, it's an argument that falls flat.

If the SMART campaign had taken out the references to rape, it would be a great anti-binge-drinking campaign. But instead, it was about protecting yourself from rape. It didn't target potential rapists, even though drinking also raises your risk of raping someone, nor did it target bystanders. And it tells women to

I think the thing is, we all have been told time and time again how to reduce our risk. We know not to get too drunk, we know to watch our drink, we know to stay in groups, we know not to walk home alone. In fact, most of us have spent years modifying our behavior to avoid these situations. It's not prevention- it's

That implies telling women to stay covered and sober works.

Oh man! Jezebel, hire me. I'm a science PhD student. I'll write about science all day if you want me to. It'll be better than doing lab work for sure.

One thing the director of a film should always ask themselves is "Has this already been the premise of an episode of The Big Bang Theory?"
