yeaaaa that statement has always made me want to vomit

‘In a statement, FSU president John Thrasher said, “Although we regret we will never be able to tell our full story in court, it is apparent that a trial many months from now would have left FSU fighting over the past rather than looking toward its very bright future.”’

Nope. Using your own link, violent does not use any male signifiers and stupid uses several exclusively female signifiers.

Yes - “rabid” and “devoted” are not really the same. “Rabid” comes from the same origin as Rabies, the extremely fatal infectious disease causing madness in dogs. A “devoted supporter” connotes someone who decided to be loyal to a cause or person, whereas a “rabid supporter” connotes non-thinking fanaticism and…

This shit right here is why I’m voting for whoever the fuck gets the Democratic nomination. There is too much at stake for this hyperbole that Hillary is just another republican. Tell that to my uterus assholes.

Good news: they missed the opportunity to be racist. Bad news: they took the opportunity to swing at women again. The phrase they chose was “uppity sister in law”

For fucks sake Oxford. You’re first response tweets are fucking terrible. And a perfect response to illustrate the overreaction people have whenever someone is called out as sexist (or racist). A mild tweet is met with a condescending “you must be a rabid feminist”. Fuck you Oxford; I didn’t know you guys were such…

On top of all those MRA and racist dickbags who “argue” by crying, “Look it up in the dictionary!” whenever they’re vomiting their usual ignorant trash everywhere.

“BTW, ‘rabid’ isn’t always negative”

“uppity” blacks

I’d agree with that too! Language use shapes dictionaries and dictionaries shape language use.

Oxford Dictionary. Dude. You are not urbandictionary.com. Let’s act like it, and also maybe take some responsibility for your epic fuck up and douchey editors, k?

Also, those words are not solely or even most commonly defined that way. A telephone is shrill. An alarm clock. Intentionally choosing gendered shit to express a non-gendered adjective is irresponsible. Let people learn their bias from their shitty parents, as is tradition.

It’s the dictionary’s job to literally define words. If you don’t know what rabid means and you go to look it up, you will now and forever associate it with feminist. Like if your daughter asks you, “what’s a prick, mummy?” and you say, “well, your father is one”. While that may or may not be accurate, teaching…

“shrill” – defined as “the rising shrill of women’s voices”– and “psyche” – for which the example sentence is, “I will never really fathom the female psyche”. “Grating”, defined as “sounding harsh and unpleasant”, was illustrated with the phrase “her high, grating voice”, while the adjective “nagging” used the…

I’ve had several people tell me I should watch it. But I know I would just find myself getting angry. TV is how I relax, I’d rather not get pissed off.

It’s entertaining, but they leave a ton of evidence and information out. When I watched it, I thought “maybe Avery is innocent,” then I read what they left out, and now I’m convinced he’s guilty.

i don’t even want to watch it

I haven’t watched Making a Murderer yet. I was going to watch it when a friend suggested it, and then it blew up... and I haven’t bothered.

The police don’t simply arrest men because women said they were raped.
