Ah you've been to Kenosha before.

Here’s more on those women early career scientists:

You forgot to mention the all female spelunking team that brought the bones up to be studied. Apparently they needed very small, flexible people...and people with nerves of steel, I'd add!

Do I love Pride and Prejudice? Hell yes. But my love stems from Austen’s wonderfully acerbic writing and nostalgia for being twelve and seeing the BBC version for the first time (post-lake Colin Firth leads to...feelings).

I heard about this on the BBC NewsHour this morning. The expert they interviewd pointed out that the entrance to the cave was so narrow only small women could get in to study what was inside. He gave them credit for risking their lives to study these bones. Hell yes women in science!

And of course she means “wealthy Victorian.” There weren’t even weekends, much less OSHA laws in this amorphous, nostalgic, white-washed period she has concocted. Get back to work in the cotton mill, you mouthy strumpet!

Preach. A neighbor once did the whole “If you could live in another time, when would it be?” question as an ice breaker. Predictably, he (of course, he) said he would want to go to the 1920s. I bit my tongue to keep from asking if he meant pre or post October 1929. Obviously he wants to go to fictional Gatsby 1920s. I…

No, I think you’re just, you know, in touch with reality. There is no other time period that would be better to live in, for women at least. It’s like that Louis CK joke - white men can go to ANY time period and be like “Woo fun!” but it will suck tremendously for literally everyone else.

SO. This is my cat watching a cat cartoon.

That book is simply phenomenal. I don’t even care that this lemon-sucking troglodyte is having a hissy fit about it. I’m just delighted to hear that it’s being taught in schools. It’s exactly what you want kids to be exposed to in formative years: ferocious, unflinching, compassionate and demanding of whip-smart…

Yes, it was sexual assault. Newland’s gender-identity is irrelevant to that. Penis-in-vagina sex and dildo-in-vagina sex are two different sex acts. Consent to one doesn’t mean consent to the other.

Never “compliment” your underlings’ appearance in any way in any work setting. It’s right there in the manual of every job you’ve ever worked. Your take on what women put up with in the way of such “compliments” is HYSTERICAL. Keep comparing it to that one time you were so gracious at a gay bar HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Sounds like Alfred Molina in Chocolat

“But why would you “crack down” on someone complimenting your shirt or making a positive comment about your attractiveness? How are men who are attracted to you supposed to communicate that to you?”

Oh Roosh, go wash your wig already.

Absolutely! And when you agree to help them move:

I would absolutely support a Muslim women who “insisted on” covering her face, just as I would support Kim Davis if the government was trying to force her to wear clothing that violated her religion. But I wouldn’t support a Muslim woman refusing to issue legal licenses to any woman who didn't cover her face. See the…

Shades of Romulus and Remus.
