You are not entitled to other people having ESP. A huge number of men AND women have difficulty reading small social cues. Add in cross-cultural differences. various cognitive biases, and the fact that it is culturally acceptable to approach potential romantic partners cold in public, and it's ridiculous to assume…

There is also a tendency like with any ideology/group of defending the loudest people no matter what they say.

Legal recourse for domestic violence predates feminism by about 300 years.

"The key thing here is that you will know in the first few seconds if the woman you're trying to engage is interested or not.'"

Not surprising at all; it's actually fairly common, just not common among the predominately white, professional/white collar, female readership of Jezebel. The street is a place of social interaction for a lot of sectors outside that demographic.

"Because God has apparently Taken A Stand when it comes to IUDs, and he only told dudes and the Pope about it, since IUD's weren't invented until the Bible was more than 2,000 years old."

Unfortunately for a shocking amount of women that adds to the appeal.

Concocting grand theories about it's somehow his fault because he like totally could have been bad to her and the family who is desperately trying to find the dog weren't actually interested in doing so before it was sold, because a few anonymous misogynist comments on an internet board can somehow make her not a…

Ehh, she's done competently but not amazingly brilliantly. She is also way too hawkish for my tastes. I'd really rather see Elizabeth Warren as the candidate though probably too early in her political career.

Problem is there are a lot of people on the Democrat side of the aisle who tried to make Reagan's, Dole's, and McCain's age a big issue, so they don't really have the moral authority to suddenly criticize those who are doing it to Clinton.

Crocodiles are federally protected. And harder to find than alligators.

"(violations for which powerful men are rarely called out)."

No, absolutely wrong. There is nothing dysfunctional about an adult male finding a physically mature girl sexually attractive. It is insane to think otherwise. Now, as a matter of morality and legality you don't ACT on it (and that includes leering or staring), but to claim that they should find something wrong…

The way this story was written annoyed me. The presumption that if she were a man it wouldn't have happened, the implicit assumption that men don't have the same risk from negotiating, and the way it downplays what were unreasonable requests from a beginning faculty member. Pre-tenure sabbatical? Delaying her start…

Its not reasonable if other starting professors at her college aren't making that. Wat tye market rate is or what other colleges pay is not relevant.

I so miss being able to go to a restaurant and not really look at the prices when ordering. Oh well. Now I am pushing the bounds of human knowledge. Or something.

Weiiiird, I worked as a lawyer exclusively on retirement plan law before going for my PhD. I suppose someone with too much time on their hands could out me based on that, but whatever.

I honestly don't understand anyone who is planning to get a tenure track, career position. That's like planning to win the lottery. Anyone in a PhD program who isn't broadening their job search early on is setting themselves up for a lifetime of postdoc hell.

Hate to tell you all, but all the tedious boring stuff you hate about academia happens in the rest of the working world. Just more of it.

Uhhh....the employment rate for women is higher than that for men. If employers don't like to hire women, then they REALLY don't like hiring men. Is there some third sex I am unaware of that is getting all the jobs?
