I completely disagree with your message but I chuckled at the attack helicopter joke!

At least she admits straight out the gate that she is, in fact, pretentious.

EDIT - just read Dr. Smit(h)‘s later replies. Don’t really know how to delete a post, soo...
Anyway, she seems a lot nicer (less pretentious!) in that post than in her story!

The memories!!

No of course not, I get that! My only point is - she clearly is white. I mean, it’s clear as day that she is not anything but white. I’m relieved that it seems everyone sort of knew, and was talking about it behind her back, because otherwise I would not have been able to wrap my mind around it.

I mean, she doesn’t even remotely look like her ethnicity is anything other than caucasian. At first glance (and every subsequent one), she just looks like a white lady with curls.

Purely from a visual perspective, I could have understood if the woman in question looked like, say, Rashida Jones, but in this case it…

Dammit, I overlooked the part where it says he is for gender-segregated labs. Okay, so that makes me look sorta stupid, I guess. I stand by my general point, but this particular guy deserved what he got. I apologize for this error on my part, because if I had seen that crucial detail, I would have picked a different…

Ugh, Tim Hunt, not Tim Cook. Darnit.

Can I ask you something? And upfront let me just say that yes, that is a sexist thing he said, that much is obvious. Big surprise, a 72 scientist apparently lacks emotional intelligence and isn’t super progressive. I’m not going to debate that. I also don’t intend to defend him in particular, my question is intended…

As I said in response to another post, I didn’t mean to imply they are exactly the same, only that when you look at it in general terms, they are each other’s equivalent in the sense that they both cater to the wish fulfillment and escapism fantasies of their respective target audiences and genders.

Men and women’s…

All I meant to say was that in broad, general terms, Entourage and Sex And The City could be considered to be the equivalent of each other, in the sense that they are sex-obsessed escapism fantasies that cater to the imagination of their respective genders/target audiences.
Of course I fully realize that there are…

Isn’t Entourage to men what Sex And The City is to women? That’s how I always looked at, at least. Both are just hyper unrealistic sex-obsessed escapism fantasies. Pure wish fulfillment. When either one is watched by the opposite sex I’m sure there’s lots of stuff that will come off as grating and terrible.

Well said. I was scrolling down and wanted to post something similar but you saved me the trouble.

Oh god that is glorious!!

That’s not how any of this works!

Important - I got mixed up in my previous comment there. My bad. I was of course the one who made the reply to the post about people being on the verge of tears. That will teach me to type a comment and talk on the phone simultaneously. I failed to notice that you didn’t write the original post, which is why my…

I think this is spiralling out of control, which neither of us wants, I think.
I’m pretty sure I took what you said about people being on the verge of tears too seriously, and based my reply on that, and then you subsequently did the same with mine.
All you probably (?) meant to say was “the article is kind of mean, a…

I didn’t intend to pass judgment, I was honestly asking. I see the comparison you’re going for, and it’s sort of similar, but also not really. If a person is so lacking in self confidence that a complete stranger on the internet, who is speaking in general terms so not even addressing them in person, like on a forum,…

Should a person (male or female) truly be on the verge of tears over what someone says on the internet?
When a bully says something mean to your face, about you personally, I understand that always hits home, but a stranger? On the internet? Speaking in general terms?

If that makes a person cry or comes close to crying,…

That was glorious. I enjoyed it so much I read it twice.

How... How tiny are they?!
