DiFranco always seemed to me to epitomize clueless white girl privilege and the lack of self-awareness so prevalent in the hipster social-justice-when-its-easy movement.

If you accept Sylvester Magee's claims to have been a slave (and there is some evidence for them), he was still alive when she was born. The last surviving child of slaves died 3 years ago.
On the one hand, research has shown that people tend to eat more calories at restaurants when told the calorie counts. On the other hand, I calorie log everything I eat so I like these kinds of laws.
I'm telling you why you should have done your PhD. If you did it because you thought it would elevate you socially, then yes, I disagree that this is the proper motivation.
Huh? I don't really agree with the proposition that women are more likely to abuse men psychologically than vice versa; I suspect the reverse is true. But to interpret the post that you're responding to as saying men are never assholes to women is frankly, bizarre. I mean, that is something beyond strawman that you're…
He was being a jerk for muttering under his breath; she was far more of a jerk for escalating, confronting, and kicking him while he was sleeping, then trying to get validation for her lousy behavior here.

Are you all serious? WOMEN LIVE LONGER! Does a better positive exist?
Those students won't be the ones making valedictorian. You can ensure your child learns enough to be prepared for any college curriculum in the country, even ifmthey go to a bad school.
I think you overestimate the "challenged" of college. Anyway, even if your child learns nothing in school, you can prepare them for college on their own time through self-study and tutoring.
No, you do not get to call out people constantly and tell them how they should act (which she does incessantly) and get to avoid people calling her out. Based on her own account she was in the wrong, and we are not obligated to validate her behavior.
You want your kid to succeed, send them to lousy schools where they can easily graduate first in their class.
Only in a professional setting AND only when others are being addressed as doctor and you are not. Or if you're in Europe where the remnants of a class system still exist.
Jezebel is not a professional arena.
Eh, there's nothing wrong with the title Ms. or Mr.
