My ex boyfriend was catty, former male roommates have been quite gossipy. A male acquaintance is both. Not all people are catty and gossipy. SOME women are, SOME men are. I have used specific examples. You are using “men” and “women” in your argument, as absolutes.

There are certain men in my life who I definitely describe as catty and gossipy, BECAUSE THEY ARE.

I used an accurate description of the women in my office. There are people in the world who have these personality/behavioral traits. The people in my office who have them happen to be women.

I got hooked by a neighbor. The rest of my extended family got hooked in sequence. I’d say, about 50% of the people I visit in my neighborhood have one.

Dear god, I called the women IN MY OFFICE catty, etc. Because they are. How do you not understand that I did not call all women that?

They are really great if you drink a lot of sparkling water like I do.

In my workplace, the women are the most horrible catty two-faced gossips, so, not convinced that one gender is more likely to be good if the power were balanced between the two. (I am a woman).

You’re right to an extent, but MeToo isn’t just the accusers and victims who have given voice to their abuse and it isn’t just the accused and abusers. It’s the internet mob and the coverage they eventually birthed in mainstream publications. What this does for that group is demand that “victims” not go unvetted as…

Uggghhhhhhhnnnnfff. This is why I hate it when people say, “Women should be in charge of everything.” Nope. Women can be shitty too.

I’m no PhD, but I think I'd hold off on writing a letter until I was privy to the evidence.

“I have no idea what happened here, but I know my friend would never do anything bad so I support her 100%!”

I mean, that’s being laid off, not fired. Although super true that tenure doesn’t grant total immunity at any level!

I mean I guess the idea they suggest is that you raise taxes so high - 10,000 million percent or something - that you drive out everyone (billionaires, millionaires, hundred thousand-aires, middle class people, young people, and everyone above the poverty line) who would normally be part of the market demand for…

You might be thinking that San Fran should consider bumping property taxes, milking the mega-rich unicorn investors,

Between this and the Ruby Rose thing, is it just me or is there a bit of dogmatic purity problem among LGBTQ+ activists?

But if the panel gaps are bigger they would allow air/water to bleed out and not pull off the bumper like a parachute.

It’s amazing that you neither understand gambling nor the stock market yet have such a virile opinion involving both.

Shorting isn’t borrowing *against* something an investor doesn’t have. It’s just straight-up borrowing something ... against an investor’s ability to pay the agreed price on the agreed date.

How about regular Joe Schmoe investor, who bought stock on the ride up after the news, and then lost money on the slide back down after the news started to look like bullshit? Trying to screw over shorts is one thing. Screwing over some of your own investors in the process is not ok.

You have to put up collateral to short sell stocks champ.
