Oh, I would be sooo pissed. Not only are the people in the front forced to have a band in their face, they lost out on the luxury of a bulkhead seat and the overhead bin. I’d be seeking a refund so quickly...

That would be nice. I was once checked FOUR times before getting on a flight. My checked luggage was rifled through before I could check it, I got the extra-thorough check to get into the terminal, a check to get in line to board at the gate, and then an extra check after giving them my ticket and trying to go down…

Even before 9/11, I got stopped in airports every.single.time. Always got pulled for “random extra checks.” Not only am I just brown enough to come from a number of places but my previous last name was an Americanized version of the original (changed 3 generations prior) so no one could tell where it was from at a…

Glad to hear both accounts. So many of those stories end up like the couple above either out of reluctance to confront/cut out a terrible person or pressure from other people “but he’s faaaaaaamily”.

Tell those stories already!

I worked in a non-profit and one of our funders still functioned that way when I left less than a year ago.

I like your style, sir.

Even Harder has abandoned Weinstein as of a few days ago. It is really bad news when hired defenders won’t stick around.

While I couldn’t and wouldn’t watch it, a friend of mine suffered through Bialik’s Facebook live interview about the article with a friendly NYTimes employee. Apparently Bialik is writing a book on how to raise boys...shock!

While I realize this is a horribly low bar, at least the remainder of their football season has been cancelled. It apparently isn’t a school where it is “football above all.” I know, a pathetically low bar but better than many schools.

Any idea what he does for income? It seems like he spends an awful lot of time on his crazy crusade.

But it makes people feel superior and accomplished without having actually done a damned thing.

A man whose bullying behavior has been allowed and rewarded at every turn for over a decade has issues ceding control? Say it ain’t so!

It’s even better with Yakety Sax playing over the video.

Agreed. I really like the idea but not being opt-in and counting only in mini cupcakes were missteps.

Yup. I went on two dates with a police officer and he seemed to be constantly wanting to show off his toughness and authority. The first date, he said he was nervous but during the second he was clearly a douche.

Please tell me the superintendent also teaches philosophy with a name like that.

Because of the toxic attitudes “womens be crazy” and “artistes must be free to make their art”. Blech.

It is a power thing for some men, to be sure. I was groped at work but the groper claimed that “it didn’t count” because he was gay when I told him to stop. He was a big deal and I was not, so I just did my best to avoid him until my supervisor saw him do it once and read him the riot act. Honestly, I don’t think she…

He’s nebbish and therefore not a “real” threat.
