Have you or a loved one had this type of meltdown due to being exposed to literature in a high-level academic setting?

Adding labels to literature strikes us as bizarre — but, when you think about it, the mere presence of those labels doesn't dumb-down or spoil television plots. Pretty much everyone remotely familiar w/the Game of Thrones series (whether the books or the show) knows to expect graphic depictions of rape and violence. …

I understand there are unpleasant potential implications, but it's detestable that periods and associated suffering are just dismissed as a woman's natural lot in life. "Oh, you spend 2 days/month writhing on the floor in agony? Sounds like everything's fine lol!"

You're just supposed to accept it because it's "part of being a woman," duh!

Of course I do. Why on earth would a man post this?

That a function or process is "natural" does not mean it promotes human health or wellbeing. If there were any other combination of genes that caused people to suffer flulike symptoms and bleed from their genitals, it would be treated as a serious medical problem.

Yes and no. I have a pretty good title an a pretty nice salary, and am reduced to commenting on Jez b/c my firm blocks gchat.

you mean "flair," but the other one would be good, too

Well, at the point where robots are transcribing, fulfilling and dispensing the customers' orders, you don't need live employees at the drive-thru. You probably don't need live employees at all.

Objectifies catkin.

are you one of those trolls who (much like a right-wing republican) convulses over people mentioning the word "vagina" in discussions about abortion rights?

periods themselves are a health problem IMO.

Of the works listed, I've only read Wade (recently out of curiosity) and The Bell Curve (as part of a college seminar on scientific racism).

lol, no. Not even in the false-rape-frenzied gynocracy that female suffrage has wrought.

I'm convinced you're some sort of false-flag MRA troll at this point, so I must be really bored to keep "feeding" you. But, again: I can make a list of alleged rapists and post it here. That does not provide probable cause to arrest anyone listed.

Arresting someone is violent, invasive, etc., which is why we do not arrest without probable cause.

I completely agree that we should wield state violence against people based on anonymous, uncorroborated bathroom-stall scrawl. I don't usually express this opinion because it makes me sound like a fascist idiot, so thanks for giving me a voice.

...hence, his gf should not instagram a photo of herself w/magic johnson?

She has song lyrics that promote irresponsible (and not-necessarily-married) sex, but so does literally every other popstar. The racism here is palpable and I wonder if this segment was designed as blogbait.

I am not suggesting that white people are faster than Kenyans or Ethiopians. I am suggesting that white people compose a vastly larger percentage of Boston Marathon participants.
