Nah, men will get affermative action-ed into parity.

Bullshit response. The universities still could 1.) implement comprehensive sexual harassment training 2.) review their sexual harassment policies and their reporting procedures 3.) ask current staff and PHd students to identify problem staff and than force those persons to take more advanced training. They are not…

Somewhere Princess Margaret is saying, “Feel sorry for THEM? Look what the goddamn palace put me through for my whole goddamn life!”

go to ESPN’s coverage and then click on the Georgia/Alabama take the field (right after Trump is shown and then the National Anthem). #3 takes a knee, camera switches, and then more players are kneeling (Georgia). Then, Alabama comes out and they have quite a few take knees in the end zone (saw Jalen Hurts…

Did Georgia and Alabama both take knees? #3 for Georgia did and then they cut the camera, others (on both teams) started doing it as well. Auburn fan here that has watched both teams play and honestly I haven’t seen either do that one before. I don’t see anything on it.

1. Dipshit is attending a Championship game between ‘Bama and Georgia in Atlanta. And boos were essentially equal to applause. Telling.

You’re not really understanding what’s going on here with the undergraduates. It’s not that undergrads are spending their last dime on tuition and then struggling to find ways to buy food, it’s that universities have been essentially waiving all tuition and costs for students whose families are below a certain income…

If anything I think the problem with Macy’s is that they (okay, their parent holding company) love their brand so much they decided to rebrand all the other department stories they owned to Macy’s, destroying any character they had themselves. They didn’t get that people from Chicago *liked* Marshall Fields, people…

I’d continue going to malls if it wasn’t such a terrible experience, especially Kohl’s. There are so few employees now, it’s a miracle I can get rung up. Then there are the idiots with a pile of coupons and want to debate every single one like it’s Brown v. Board of Education. Then there’s the merchandise. Synthetic,…

The Art Institute of Chicago may be the best curated museum anywhere. (this from someone who’s spent decades traipsing through the museums of the Western World) So it’s worth it is what I’m saying.

I believe, with no proof, that they are setting this in line with the Art Institute of Chicago, a somewhat comparable, if smaller institution. Which charges, last time I was in that city a couple of years ago, $25 flat fee for adults. They also years ago were “pay as you wish”. They also engaged in a major…

While I’ve never suffered any harassment or abuse of the disgusting level you’ve clearly gone through I know that feeling of being unable to say something that you feel needs to be said. I’ve wanted to report a number of instances of sexual harassment aimed at others at work (seriously the things other men at work…

Thank you Jez staff for this article and for bringing up Johnny Depp. When I to,d my story of being punched at work (in addition to being harassed), several male trolls asked me “are you saying that being punched is sexual harassment”? Clearly, men don’t get the full picture. For women at work, this whole thing is a…

I agree and relate, completely. My sister doesn’t help things by enabling this behavior out of my dad, and rather than allow him to re-establish his identity and be an individual, chooses to just allow this really poor coping mechanism of babying her to compensate to fester. Again, none of this is said to disparage my…

This picture makes me tear up too. I especially like that she loves black cats, I’m the same way. 🙂

Awwww thanks for the link - seeing her gleeful little face with an armful of kittens made me tear up. I hope her life going forward is filled with joy and kitties.

This happened in Waukesha, the most conservative and wealthy county in Wisconsin. I started working here right after it happened, and there was outrage from the rich bible thumpers that they aren’t being executed. They also wanted this new fangled “internet” thing destroyed before it hurt anyone else.

Girls, particularly clever girls, learn to mask and mimic early on. In fact I think there was a study done to show that the higher the IQ of a girl the less likely she was to be diagnosed with ASD because they were able to hide it so well.

I’ve always thought that autism was just easier to “pass” with as a girl. Boys are supposed to be loud, boisterous, wild etc. Girls are quite, restrained, proper.

I’m autistic with ADHD, wasn’t diagnosed with either till my fucking 30s. I badly struggled in school but I was ‘so bright’ so people just shrugged their shoulders and did nothing. Ahhh the 80s-early 90s.
