“Inclusion absolutely matters, in the classroom and outside the classroom, but yelling at a single woman with absolutely no sway in the publishing or academic worlds, is not the way to get it.” 

Lololol, this sub thread about Nicholas Sparks is making my day.

Look, this is why this shit is a big deal. YA novels aren’t some kind of frivolous bullshit that isn’t worth reading because they aren’t The Great American Novel. If you’re at a university to challenge yourself academically, the Common Read isn’t the only place you can do that, and telling everyone that you joined a…

Unrelated but:

though I meant the “and” more to emphasize the unusual nature of both genders being there - it could have read just as easily read “fathers AND mothers” except that we tend to say it the other way around -

“Her victory restored,” as in she fucking WON? Oh now I know why they mad. 

I actually really liked the book, and I enjoyed A Secret History as well. It was The Little Friend that took me for this southern gothic ride and then fucking gave me that terrible ending I still haven’t forgiven Tartt for. I mean cmon what the fuck was that.

I’ll never forget back in 2008 getting into an argument with a dude who believed he caught liberals in a deep gotcha moment over Sarah Palin. His argument was essentially:

I’m sick of her throwing “being a mom” out there like it’s a job qualification.

And I find that very startling from a group of people that claim to be the champions of women empowerment.

It’s not feminism. It’s the right’s bastardization of feminism, which is a thing they do to everything so they can point at it and say “SEE! See how the left is a bunch of hypocrites!” while they are hiding their own hypocrisy behind their backs.

Unfortunately, she continued: “I’m only the third woman and the first mom to ever be the White House press secretary, and yet women attack me relentlessly instead of being proud that we have more women doing those types of jobs.”

Just one of several laws Trump has broken this week.

It is illegal to present a falsified National Weather Service report. BUT! I think that only applies when the country follow laws and stuff.

You’re missing the point that while they have made cars safer and better able to pass the tests, the tests are not a good standard, but that’s what they continue to build cars to meet. There is blame to go around, but just because someone is working hard to pass a test, it’s not useful in the real world if the test is…

No.

The. Standards. Were. Designed. Around. Male. Averages.

As someone who works in the auto industry, this is terribly mis-informed. First of all, you absolutely can’t make the car perfectly safe for the entire range of human body types.

And an entire book about how the ENTIRE WORLD is built around and for men, destroying the lives of women daily.
