I looked at the stupid website and they have the nerve to quote Carl Jung, re: his idea of "the shadow." That guy had his faults, but he never asked for this.

And if I remember correctly, 2% is actually a lower rate than in the general population. So, yeah, it's extra stupid.

This worries me as well, and it could be a problem for teachers in any subject area. I'm imagining teachers getting into all sorts of trouble for pointing out a logical fallacy in a student's work (an essay, presentation, etc.), and the student claiming that their point is valid because it conforms to a religious…

His show is called the Blitzkrieg Broadcast? Oh, honey.

Indeed, the beauty of this for woman-haters is that it makes it seem logical to treat every female person (because you never know when a girl will have her first period, and even if you think you're menopausal, surprises do happen) as someone who needs to be controlled, for her own protection, of course.

My Barbies were a dark and scary bunch. Not only were there warring factions among them, but there would be regular palace coups, usually involving a lot of nudity and bondage and the occasional public execution. Meanwhile, the My Little Ponies were always either leading military campaigns or doing disaster…

I actually knew a guy in grad school who had limits on how much he felt it was appropriate to laugh in a day. He only had friends because he was really good looking. Not sure if he hands out cards to explain this, however.

A public university in Texas.

Not surprised - I'm an academic too, and my university has no maternity leave policy. Individuals are supposed to work it out with their department chair, i.e. it's a crap shoot. Good luck!

Totally - when I was assaulted a few years ago, I reported it to the police, and when I was giving my statement I had this very sarcastic tone of voice, which clearly surprised/confused the officer. I can see how without training on this, you could perceive this as evidence that it was no big deal, or that I wasn't…

Honestly, a dating seminar from Pinhead would probably be more useful and grounded in reality.

I (a woman) am also apparently DA MAN, and it seems like I earned this title by answering questions in a way that suggest I'm not a rapist. I deserve a pat on the back! (Or, more likely, a punch in the arm.)

Exactly - I've heard them talk about how it's the girls' responsibility to not only mind how they dress themselves, but to be responsible for what the boys see in public. So, basically, it's the women's responsibility to control men's behavior concerning sexuality, which basically lets men off the hook for not being…

My puppy also understands the appeal of the cold drink bucket

I remember when that was published - I hadn't ever held Vogue to an especially high standard, but I thought this was disgusting.

31 in the entire country is not exactly great representation.

Except for the ones who turn out to be rapists. Yes, there can be public interactions that don't lead to a violent outcome. However, when men make comments to women on the street, women end up fearing for their safety because they don't know what kind of guy they are dealing with. Speaking from personal experience,…

On the matter of stopping at episode six, one thing I think is interesting about the phenomenon of a Netflix series is there's a built-in assumption that you will watch the show on a "binge" and therefore see the whole thing in a short period of time. There might be people who are watching one episode a week, but that…

I'm trying to write a joke about how he would prefer a monocular matchmaker because then he's less likely to meet a woman who's multi-dimensional, but it's just not coming together. Sorry, I'll do better next time.

I live in Texas - if she runs, you won't be able to see my car for all the "Vote Wendy!" bumper stickers.
