YES THANK YOU!

I’m sorry, but if your son is “discouraged” because there is a 1 in 45 chance that a woman will get something that he wants, then you have raised one of the biggest man babies on the planet. And they complain about liberals raising special snowflakes...

Actually, domesticated dogs understand pointing, while domesticated cats do not (or at least, pretend they don’t)!

She noted how some people rush to defend “free speech*” when it’s racist (Twitter) when the entire hubbub in the first place was about attempting to suppress “free speech*” with regards to a movie coming out. You state the obvious, she acknowledges that yes, when she mentioned ”free speech*” she was referring to it in…

For someone who is acting like they are gracing us with their presence by stating the obvious, you sure are grumpy when people respond reasonably!

Wait... can this also mean that we can criticize corrupt policing cultures, but still think that individual police officers can do good things sometimes?

My university just started reporting rapes and sexual assaults similarly to other crimes (that is, an email informing the community about the crime, whether someone had been caught and charged, and if not, a description of the perpetrator). Students freaked out, and the Women’s Center had to do double duty explaining…

Also! Dearborn, MI is a good example too about how community policing can be helpful in rooting out young Muslims who are becoming radicalized. I wish that other towns would implement their model.

I understand your frustration, but social media can be a force for good. The reality is that people need to stand up in their own communities and indicate what is and is not acceptable.

Cincinnati had the right idea a while ago. They’ve made some efforts at community based policing (where police walk the beat to get to…

This survey makes me so damn crabby. OF FUCKING COURSE Americans are confused about what is healthy! The FDA has been lying to them for years in the interest of pleasing lobbyists, and the food pyramid is one of the biggest fucking jokes ever created... yes, even the new one that doesn’t seem to understand the point…

More and more, it seems like even saturated fats and cholesterol are OK for you, and sugar is really the problem.

I’m really entertained by people who are not getting this point. I’ve heard about some completely wretched managers who would do much worse things than this, but this seems like an obviously overwrought lie to me too!

Heh, well that’s a true travesty. My institution is trying to implement mandatory diversity training, and the faculty is fighting it tooth and nail. It’s really too bad, because some of the things my students tell me that their faculty say to them turns my hair white.

I agree— I do provide some content warnings (usually regarding racism, violence, or rape) in a number of my classes. I actually find them to be very helpful to individuals who have NOT experienced these things, as it tunes them into the fact that some of their peers have. For example, before we delve into rape, I…

I don’t know about fat and ugly, but I do find she has a very punchable face for some reason. Must be that sour expression she always seems to have.

Right? I first heard about this on The Read a week or two ago, and I was completely horrified. What kind of ridiculous levels of incompetence do you have at this school where you rub a little Vaseline on something as raw as this and call it good? What kind of idiot principal do you have at this school who send a kid…

Oh, that’s been around for a long time. Back in the early 2000's, a speaker came to my college to talk about how eating meat and oppressing women were related. It was interesting, but I didn’t really buy it.

Here is actually a nicely reasoned article that outlines the arguments, as well as some problems with the…

I doubt that signs telling you that would have made much of a difference— it sure as shit does not at Yellowstone. It drives me fucking bonkers how people treat wild animals, like walking up to moose, elk, bison, and bears. Maybe zoos have lulled people into a false sense of security, but these animals will FUCK YOUR…

If this lady patient hadn’t wanted to get sexually assaulted, she should have been more careful and taken better care of her gallbladder. /s
