Another interesting phenomenon to note is when someone:

I'm going to introduce you to a phenomenon.

Man, I teach high school, and the boys I teach are the BIGGEST gossips. They will walk into a room and say, "Mrs. Chrysocolla, did you know that Mr. Whatshisface ___________?" I get told about students getting expelled and the reasons why before the school notifies me by them. And I have a couple of male students who…

I neither "invoked the patriarchy" nor "social injustice as a whole." You did however, stereotype women in the workplace as a whole, and you even announced that you were stereotyping as you did it: "Women on the other hand, hate to stereotype but the amount of hate and gossip that goes into their average day, it…

The phrase you're missing is "in my experience..." - it'll improve your point 100%. I know men who are downright vicious in their comments about their female coworkers - you should have seen the email list some unwise sales reps circulated around a previous office of mine- it included ratings and choice comments on…

Women are the only ones that go for physical appearance put downs? Are you serious? I've worked with my fair share of men and women and men are just as bad as women when it comes to physical put downs.

I caught my coworkers shit-talking about how I have no new clothes and should be super embarrassed because mine look old. They are old, and I am embarrassed, but I'm pretty poor and paying for grad school at night, and it was a really tough blow to hear that. They still don't know I know, but I fantasize about…

Why do you ladiez hate SCIENCE so much? Must be that feeble ladybrains can't handle the SUPERIOR LOGICS.

When women insult women, it's because they are vicious, small-minded gossips. When men insult women as a whole, it's just a scientific observation!

They're probably gossiping about all the "special favors" the men in the office are doing for their attractive coworkers, apparently. Ugh.

Oh, but when they do it, it's networking! When we do it, we're just frivolous little catty gossips dontchaknow.

Some of the biggest gossips and back-biters I've known were men. Yet no one thinks of them as gossips or back-biters—I guess because the stereotype is that it's women who do that.

I've been bullied, harassed, and made quite uncomfortable in my workplace. I have a disability (recognized under FMLA as well as ADA). Everyone knows at this point my struggles, and that's fine. However, they seem to feel that I get treated better because of this. It's not better, at least to me. I wish that I…

You catch yourself agreeing to do things you normally wouldn't do for a "prettier girl", ergo you treat them more "pleasantly" than you do less physically attractive people. Which means you don't treat less attractive people as well as you do attractive people.

Hating the North for BS aggression to destroy Southern economy, I get it. Saying all the blacks should be enslaved and call it professionalism and a form of dignity, naw. People in that era, and a shit ton of them, were against the practice of slavery because in the Bible they say that's immoral. Still didn't find…

When reading the Facebook comments, there are two sentiments that show up again and again:

You would think it'd be that way, but actually, very consistently, oppressed groups rely on what privileges they have to climb up the social ladder. That's why, very frequently, the people who are directly above another group on the social ladder are the biggest overt -ists; it becomes very important for a lot of…

Yeah, no. My grandmother is 89 years old, and from Hicksville, OK, and she knows this shit is not okay, and does not say racist shit. This "from a different time, she's old, she's Southern" line is pure nonsense.

Hey. I'm a female member in AA. The meetings I go to are mostly atheists and agnostics. And the higher power is essentially what you described as surrendering and admitting that we are not in control, that our lives are unmanageable and a power greater than self must be the one to give guidance. This could be Jesus,…

It does not make it more irresponsible because it affects our bodies differently. What kind of sexist bullshit is that? Fuck that shit. Drinking to excess is EQUALLY irresponsible in both sexes, no matter what. Give me a break. There are still incredibly gendered attitudes towards even moderate alcohol consumption.
