Thanks. Her essay reads especially almost flippant? in that context. Like this line horrifies me:

I thought her article was ridiculous, but how on earth do you students think the appropriate response is to see that she is somehow punished vis a vis title IX?

I’m 46, a research prof, and not at NU, but I found Kipnis’ article off-putting. Faculty, really, it’s not that difficult - don’t fuck undergrads and do not fuck grad students in your department. We had a similar referendum at my university recently and it prompted absolutely zero discussion because it’s absolutely a…

My mom had one of these hemorrhage 7 years ago and it very nearly killed her. It was a very long road to recovery, she stuggled to speak for many months, but she is miraculously back to baseline, and recently completed the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

With the risk of doxxing myself, I go to NU and am a grad student. I think her essay is in extremely poor taste since the “great prohibition” came out of a professor being a complete fucking creep (Peter Ludlow). Yes, it’s messed up to prohibit people from loving each other, but it hasn’t been socially acceptable for…

Looking forward to the witches and communists conference tbh.

The whistling makes me hate my ears.

“Because it’s a kilt, it has to be straight down,” he said, according to Smith. “It can’t flare out around your hips. It has to hang straight.”

Less a convenient response and more pointing out that making yourself the center of a conversation about what it means to be a feminist is literally the opposite of being a good ally.

I am a woman who is single and financially independent, and if I consult a fashion magazine to try the “newest makeup look,” that’s my damn business. I am a human with critical thinking skills who can read Cosmo and appreciate that they’re trying to make a difference in politics for women, but they may have stupid…

I think this is a conversation that is not for you, and in which you have no stake.

And 7:17 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on May 25, 2015 was the exact moment I became permanently in favor of banning books. No one should be legally allowed to read that.

Seriously. I can’t even make snarky jokes about this, because this is legit disturbing. Poor kid.

“I got interested in her in 2008”

Um...in the wake of all the Duggar mess this is both 1) hilarious and 2) incredibly sad/scary because this man sounds unhinged. Far away? Sure, but unhinged as fuck. I hope the US Embassy takes some measures to track this man’s movements at least until Obama is out of office.

Oh I have the best story about a wedding proposal...

Really? A.) Your tone in the original post was clearly dismissive of this issue, and vilifying the awful colonialist feminists daring to speak out against it. and B.) Yes, we can criticize traditions that are built around nothing more than "othering" women and perpetuating the view that women are dirty. Traditions…

I feel perfectly okay criticizing female genital mutilation, regardless of which culture happens to practice it.

There are health risks to this whole practice: improper sanitation, not being able to fully clean menstrual cloths in order to avoid later infections, oh, AND BEING FORCED TO CLUMP UP IN TINY SHACKS WITHOUT ELECTRICITY AND RUN THE RISK OF RAPE AND SNAKE BITE. But you go on, defending "traditions" that are just more…

Now, hasn't anyone seen this symbol before?
