So Kate stole his sperm to force him to have more kids? Is Jon Gosselin not an adult who can say no? Lmao, you’re going hard on JEZEBEL DOT COM for JON GOSSELIN but yes, I’m embarrasing myself.

That sounds like they need to step up their pedagogical support of professors and instructors then, not that they need to institute a trigger warning system.

Oh man yes, I forgot that JON GOSSELIN divorced Kate because he was desperate to keep his kids out the spotlight. That’s why he reached out to them via Entertainment Tonight. Jon Gosselin, America’s real hero.

More and more, we will have to navigate how to allow black and other minority persons to be part of the “American” narrative, without ignoring or erasing the black American or Hispanic American or LGBT or whatever other narrative they also belong to. Because this movie is not only a (seeminly solid) depiction of black…

Yes, that’s probably why his only recourse is to go on Entertainment Tonight. I know that’s what my cousin did when his bitch exwife (interesting how everyone’s cousin’s exwife is a bitch, weird how no one’s cousin is the bad guy) badmouthed him to her kids. That’s probably also why he cheated on his girlfriend with a…

Whenever people come in like that, I assume they’re trying to bone some young woman in their family circle and trying to convince themself it’s not gross. Leave Global Beets and all the rest of us out of your attempt to convince yourself it’s not creepy to hit on your girlfriend’s daughter, dude.

But is that not happening? I studied politics and theatre arts, so I actually dealt a lot with violent and graphic depictions of sexual violence quite often in my classes (and this was recently—I graduated in 2015). When a work was used in class that depicted violence, it’s content and purpose was made clear in the…

I feel like it’s one of those strawmen that we don’t challenge because it’s coming from a side that we agree with. But it’s even more important for us to stick to the facts. To get support for people who have a genuine need for trigger warnings or other modifications, we must be ruthless in calling out people who are…

I usually try to go for more subtle physical hints, like pointing at my vagina and signing “wanna bone?”

ur so dumb

I have literally never been in a class where violent rape was discussed where it was not extremely clear from the syllabus and class description. Is that a common problem?

If a student is sexually assaulted and does not want to report it, can they not go to a counseling center and get assistance without being forced to report? They would not be going to their professors, they would be going to the school’s center for special education needs, telling them that due to trauma they require…

I wonder how many people commenting have been an undergrad (ie living in student housing at some point, participating in clubs and student government, because the experience for grad students can often be so different) at a large, liberal university within the past 4 years, because I see a lot of people pretending…

Maybe I’m obtuse, but I don’t understand why this can’t be part of their plan with the university. If someone has a legitimate need, then they probably have documentation to go to the center for students with special educational needs and get a notification sent to their professor, like students who need extra time on…

Here’s the thing though—if we hadn’t, say, financially supported Polanski, some other director would have taken his place and got his funding and made their art. Maybe it would have been better art! Maybe it wouldn’t have! In this counterfactual, it wouldn’t have been a rapist’s art. If more people of color got…

Ah, got it now.

Why do you keep conflating “attractive” with “competent and engaging”? The only truly bad servers I’ve had in the city were hot girls.

Oh man, thank you so much for that correction! I always get those two confused, silly me. Now, remind me what “their” means again? I don’t want to use it incorrectly again!

Guessing you’re not from New York, because a restaurant having a like, noticeably more attractive waitstaff is a pretty great indicator that the service is going to be terrible and that the waiter might be semirude to you.

Cool—I’m actually an American though, so I generally work towards trying to get our healthcare system towards a 21st century model, nice to know that other countries got their first! Look at you, so full of facts, you’re like a simple english wikipedia page.
