I totally had that teacher. I actually learned to write well from a history teacher. All essay tests, graded based on how many "facts" you could cram into the page limit. "Facts" meant dates, locations, names, titles of documents, amounts of money, body counts—in other words, actual information. You did not want…

That is some WRONG right there. Animals can be kind of shitty, and they can't really be held morally accountable for whatever shitty things they do. That dude... is so wrong... WTF.

Well you could just purchase, carry, and then wear a condom instead of assuming that "I don't want children" means "I'm taking birth control." Take a little responsibility.

I made a comment to this effect elsewhere, in response to an MRA "women triumph in divorce on the backs of teh poor menz" comment. It really is a problem that older, white dudes, which most judges are, have a lot of preconceived notions about "nurturers" and "providers." Patriarchy hurts everybody, and that's a…

Whatever happened is clearly the fault of contemptuous feminist oppressors. What are most teachers? WOMEN. Who has been falling behind in education? BOYS AND MEN. This man's poor grasp of written English is obviously because of the ruthless harpies who failed to make him learn grammer.

I was debating whether or not to respond to that with anything other than "Haha, suckas!" but several fantastic people have beaten me to it. Lord, men are sensitive creatures. Gotta walk on eggshells around them. I am such a spoiled brat bitch, having put myself through college on academic scholarships, and paying…

It's my vagina, man, it just makes me feel some hardcore contempt all the time. Especially for penises. Man, do I hate the shit out of a penis.

I saw this this very morning! SO GOOD.

Firstly, it seems like being half the population and all, we would have half the jobs. Secondly, not all jobs are created equal. WHICH jobs also matters, and since we're still way below 50% as CEO's, engineers, physicians, partner-track lawyers, and quite a few other high-paying, insured job areas, this just seems…

When I read "Glass Cellar," my first thought is "WINE!" and it makes me happy. The actual metaphor here confuses me. To be trapped in a cellar, doesn't that mean the glass has to be above you, aka A CEILING? So the claim is that men are trapped in a cellar by a glass ceiling that is below than the glass ceiling…

I'm thinking it's somewhere in the desert where they test nuclear weapons, or some other place with pretty much zero people.

OMG this is genius.

When I was a child and got caught doing things I knew were wrong, I would say, "God made me do it," because duh, if he knows and controls all things, then I can't do or not do anything differently from however I did it. Mom had a hard time trying to make "That's not really how it works/you are personally accountable…

There is only one way to respond to this comment. Well put, friend.

Yeah, school districts normally have a lawyer or firm on retainer. Someone comes to school board meetings, and would typically review any proposed new policies before the board had the opportunity to vote on them. I used to work for a firm that represented a public school board, and spent several days researching…

I just want everyone to look at Flexible's hind hooves, neatly tucked WAY up high to clear that jump. GORGEOUS!

Oh I'm very interested to read that! I have actually come to that way of thinking about abortion-or-not and "what might have been" in relation to my mother, first because of my father. He died of suicide, and for a long time, I sort of tortured myself with thoughts about how great his life could have been had he not…
