Norway and Sweden, while among the most gender egalitarian states, still have not reached full equality. Especially on gender roles in a family dynamic. Women are still expected to do more child care work than men. This still does impact the over all family earnings and happiness, which can be a disincentive to grow…

Is it really a crime of passion, when you have to step away from that moment, find a store, buy acid, pay for it, and go back to find the person you’re after and then find the right moment to throw acid on her face. That’s not a crime of passion, more of a premeditated crime.

President Obama’s election was absolutely an incredible moment, not just as an American, but especially as a WoC. That being said having the first woman elected is even more incredible to me, we make up over 50% of the population and have always occupied space with men yet have no representation. Knowing president…

I remember during one of the first primary(either Iowa or New Hampshire) he had a GOTV rally before the primary and he said to the crowed something like, “I want you to get out and vote for me, no excuses, even if your wife leaves you and you find out it’s for a man you know, I still want you to forget about her and…

STV would definitely be helpful. Though the end result of STV is often much like the two party system. In UK the Moray council is voted on using STV election method, so the number of stages is related to the number of candidates who are on the ballot and will continue stage by stage until there are two. Which is what…

Kanye, or any person, speaking out about racial bias should not be demonized for it. No ands, Ifs or Buts about that! That doesn’t mean speaking out on racial bias means we should allow that person free reign to behave as he pleases and free of any criticism. That to me speaks as telling women, as always, to wait our…

Being a WoC in America one thing that never escapes me is how strong and apparent Male Privilege is. While the left has become more sensitive about racial issues and recognizing white privilege, male privilege often goes ignored or even denied and rejected. I see this especially when it comes to the left on MoC, who…

He was and has been hateful towards Taylor. Also, as a WoC in America and one who has traveled, the one thing I’ve observed my entire life is that there’s nothing stronger in this world than Male Privilege. From public space to private, white privilege has limits, male privilege does not.

Its great when those same bros also say things like, “I wish Biden had run.”

In a multiple party system someone can become win with only 35% of the vote. That is terrifying too. Pros and Cons to both.

I read an article about her that covered her life before Trump, going back to her family in Europe and it found her father was also a man very much like Trump. So it really could be conditioning that brought her to like Trump. Still gross though.

What would calling it murder change? Do police officers intervene when a husband beats his wife in pakistan? No officers and the community sees it as a “family matter” to be resolved at home. There’s no word for domestic violence that is used in urdu, its just called beating. So a man beating his neighbor would be…

Hi, I’m Pakistani, fluent in urdu and punjabi and I really don’t understand the point you’re trying to make regarding the translation being off. I can’t think of a single phrase that Chaudary might’ve used that would be an incorrect translation of what he tweeted. Also if he is a member of the upper class and lives in…

Pakistani woman here, I was born there, speak urdu and punjabi fluently and I don’t understand what point Jessamina is trying to make. Especially since one part of her argument is that this person is member of the upper class and at the same time that english translation is tough for him. A person who is of privileged…

Progressive Pakistani here, and I have to say, it’s not complicated. Its pretty simple, Pakistani is a country with a society that is hyper conservative and patriarchal and it has increasingly become more conservative over the years. Only 40% of Pakistani women are literate(that’s literate, as in can read and write in…

What’s the gender makeup in your department?

You mentioned POC, what was the male/female ratio?

Exactly

Because as women we’re not required to “stand up for others” every time we clap back against sexism.

Yup! I mean I care about my sports teams winning to a stupid degree like most sports fans do but damn people. They’re not gods and should not be treated as some godly figure. Sports are great but in the end, they’re really not that big of a deal, if you think rationally. Certainly don’t deserve to be valued as godly…
