You seem like a very angry, troll-y person. Best of luck with that!

Three replies: “you creepy fucker,” “go fuck yourself,” “please fucking kill yourself,” “your life has no value,” “fuck you,” “just fuck off,” “you’re fucked up.” You need to chill out; stress is a killer. It wasn’t obvious that you’re dyslexic and Bears meant no harm.

For the vast majority of human history, the 17 year old girls in question were treated as property being bartered with. I’d guess that nobody asked them what they thought about it so your contention as to how that practice was considered is probably based on incomplete data.

That’s the reaction of all decent folk, actually.

A friend emailed me this about a week ago

The nuns get one hour of recreation and one of free time every day, are allowed visits from relatives and friends three times a year, and only leave the convent for emergencies

Sounds like you went out of your way to find an agenda here. Maybe you should apply this outrage, start your own site, and howl into the disinterested void. At the very least we wouldn’t have so many pointless comments about your preferences, which would elevate the entire discussion. On that, I think we can all agree.

Did you read the article? Point to exactly where they start talking about feminism and female casters being a burden to the scene and how she’s highlighted for her gender rather than her talents. The article is about professional casters not “female” professional casters.

Christ, Harvard really is insufferable in every imaginable way.

So what happens when she breaks up with that moth?

And after a year you have to do it while having sex. Just whisper in their ear “im pulling out of this relationship” then run away naked.

I wonder if your attitude had anything to do with you not getting that job? For the last few years I’ve been in unfortunate position of training and weeding out new hires. To be honest if I heard any of my trainees whine like you, I’d probably start having doubts about you.

So are you saying that sexism doesn’t exist, that it’s not as big a deal as women are making it out to be, or what? Women who are paid less than their male counterparts are just less capable or are making it up? A person can just “think” and “believe” themselves out of being discriminated against?

As someone who went through astrophysics school (which by the way, involves ridiculous amounts of coding in addition to the physics), let me tell you:

I think you’re projecting that victim mentality. You sound an awful lot like someone who feels like they’re a victim when, frankly, they may be part of the problem. Anyway, thanks for the single data point and totally unverifiable anecdotal information. I’ll be sure to update the Wikipedia and use your cool story in…

Hahaha Ramadannaroo. The festival where you can’t take any of your drugs till the sun goes down.

Other than Quiet, who wears a bikini and does not talk, the main cast features no women.

See, the whole “quit acting like a girl” thing is what you need to avoid. That’s a key point that doesn’t seem to be sinking in for you. If your brain formulates thoughts like that, then yes, you should walk on eggshells and self-edit. If you can manage to string together a few nonsexist thoughts, then by all means,…

If treating others like human beings come so unnaturally to you that you *have* to walk on eggshells and constantly self-edit in order to do it, that itself indicates a bit of a problem, don’t you think?

I’m a statistician and I used to get these kinds of comments from coworkers (mostly the older guys, the guys my age were okay), but now I work for myself and don’t need to deal with coworkers anymore. But I have had comments from some of the dads I run into at my kids’ school/sports events. I met my husband in grad…
