Care to tell us what else we should not worry about? Lady brains and all.....

I prefer my bridge in the back, thanks.

Y'all are just jealous about my snow pile stomach.

For what it's worth, I'll take someone in genuine ignorance over someone who spews forth anger and judgement in a hateful way to a stranger any day.

It's totally gross. But lots of schools don't want to shell out the money for a interview suite and they also don't want to do the interview cattle-call style in a ballroom. Hence, the room with the bed. Short solution (that is also totally unfair): if you're a lady interviewing, don't wear a skirt, especially one…

I know this happens, but every time I hear about it my brain rebels.

It's not OK, but it happens all the time. And this is (part of) why this ad strikes me (and I assume anyone who's gone through this process) as anything BUT "delightful"—conference interviewing is a highly stressful, sometimes traumatic situation, and this guy is someone who HAS power in it trying to recreate that…

I'm a member of MLA and have been to their conference. It's for language and literature scholars and teachers. Not linguistics, which if I understand correctly, is the study of language itself; rather MLA if for the study of literatures of all different languages. I'm sure linguistics does come into play, but it's not…

I agree with you on both points. It cracks me up because I feel like the editors are SO AFRAID that we will be shocked, SHOCKED by images of a dark-skinned, normal-sized woman we see in all her dark skinned-ness and normal sized-ness glory EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT. Like, c'mon, guys - Mindy shows off her body in…

...or it's a show that plays directly into the status quo of women as the sum total of their bodies, and celebrates normative body images, and enriches people like Tracey Anderson who made their fortunes reifying dangerous ideals of thinness. Or it's that.

Yes, because white men don't get nearly enough attention. They're only the most dominant figures in the media and government. We need to agitate for their cause and plight because no one thinks of them or their struggle. The oppression of white men and white male invisibility must end if our society is to mend the…

Who said we support all women? That's ridiculous. Why would I support someone like Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann just because they have vaginas?

PSST, Eton is more like a US high school than a uni (and I own an American passport). It's similar to a school like Phillips Exeter or Andover.

Let me guess .... you don't own a tv and you eat lentils often?

Don't feel smug. That just means you never saw the one good Lindsay Lohan movie.

How I feel about girls who "dress up" or care about their looks at the gym:

Black is also great if you're a total klutz because nothing you spill on yourself will show up!

I miss Jenna, so I feel like the idea of a fashion-focused column is a great idea. However I do not feel like a regurgitated Lucky article is the best way to go about having this.

THIS IS NOT SHADE! Dorian Corey's original quote (from the perfect Paris is Burning): "Shade is I don't tell you you're ugly but I don't have to tell you because you know you're ugly ... and that's shade."
