It depends on the research question. . . . .rats are still used a lot for everything. Rhesus macaques are used for studying audition. . . .and a variety of other things. Chinchillas for speech perception. Rabbits for vocal fold research. And, um, I hate to say this: dogs are also used for vocal fold research. I’m not…

Yes. These bozos seem to have an amazing ability to ignore the fact that EVEN THE POLICE had to wait AN HOUR before storming the theater—and it wasn’t because the police were afraid of hurting the terrorists. When dealing with hundreds of people and a few men with automatic weapons—one *might* need some strategy and…

Only if they attempt to tell the Anderson fairy tale. . . which is so, so, so dark—and could definitely have great feminist undertones in the right hands. (SPOILER ALERT!!) In that version, a witch cuts out her tongue so she can have a human soul—not so she can marry a prince. The stipulation for her to obtain the…

Agreed. Her faux claim of sexism hurts women—in addition to being COMPLETELY unjust to Sanders. Her faux claim of racism is even grosser because it stinks of exploitation of the economic and social struggles of POC, particularly given that she vocally supported much of the “tough on crime” legislation of the 1990’s…

And Sanders actually has an excellent record of getting legislation through in both the House and Senate. And 75% of Vermontian republicans voted him into office. Even though he is far left on the spectrum—doesn’t mean he is unable to compromise. I think he’s running on character—the kind of character that would…

I agree that she is being professional. . . .to an extent. I definitely think she is more professional than anybody else out there—and probably more qualified to be president. Her rather smarmy insinuations about Bernie Sanders however, are not professional (and really not needed). That kind of smarminess came up in…

The fact that she is playing the race card against Bernie Sanders is despicable. She is using discrimination against POC to her advantage. It’s exploitative and dishonest. And, I think, even more disgusting than her faux-claim of sexism.

I’m over the fact that he’s leading int he GOP primary. Now I’m just truly puzzled that John Hopkins employed this man for like THIRTY years to operate on the brains of children.

The best part of all of this is that the BELT BUCKLE broke the knife. That has got to be the most brazenly false embellishment I’ve heard since a five year old girl told me she was friends with a mermaid who had hotdogs for fingers.

This is just the greatest. And so, so appropriate.

Mitchell said Winfrey “tried to adopt him as a boy, but then abandoned him as a teen,” which sent him “spiraling into a deep depression.”

I’m still pissed she implied Bernie Sanders is sexist.

Yes, agreed. I’m sorry if I did not come across as recognizing how complicated this is. I do recognize it.

LOL. True. They’d probably think Hollywood was trying to steal their penises.

He often refers to the fact that politicians need to stop “shouting” at each other—even beyond reference to guns. He wants people to talk to each other more civilly, to actually engage in democracy. And that’s what he was getting at. That she would twist this intention and make it into something sexist is…

I know it’s off topic—but can we please talk about how Hillary Clinton just insinuated that Bernie Sanders was sexist towards her?

Look at how skinny future mama is! IS SHE ANOREXIC? Look at how FAT future mama is! Hahahaha, not so hot anymore, are you, future mama? Future mama needs to seriously learn how to dress her future mama body.

I certainly don’t believe in any sort of teeter-totter—or ranking of privilege (or disadvantage)—and I hope I didn’t come across as ignorant re: intersectionality. Saying that *trans individuals, as a group, are severely marginalized, does not imply that no other group is marginalized, or that intersectionality does…

I think that you’re ignoring the whole context of “sexism.” Wherein we have few strong female heroines and bushels and bushels of princesses? It’s not exactly a fair playing field, w/ regards to replacing male and female protagonists. The Hunger Games was inspiring to many exactly BECAUSE it featured a strong female…

And, not to rant, but how can a “feminist” speak this way about individuals who are at constant risk for sexual violence? How?
