“I didn’t see you liberals complaining when Obama started World War II!”

I can confirm. I’m 6 weeks away from finishing my PhD, and it’s an abusive system. Female professors can be terrible, too, and I’ve experienced the sink or swim thing from people plenty of times.

My dad was in the Marines and he had us convinced for years that he fought against the giant praying mantises in this movie.

I carry shame over the insanity I put up with from my grad advisor. I felt/was too deep in the program to start somewhere else and she was such a big deal in my field that complaints were ignored (I was too scared to complain but braver students tried). Post Grad Trauma should be a studied phenomena.

Sciences? You don’t think it’s just as bad in the humanities? (Except that I suppose there’s a much higher percentage of women professors.) And it’s certainly true of the legal profession. The partner who was my boss for almost 20 years at the last law firm where I worked was the most abusive, narcissistic asshole…

Yeah. Gotta make every effort to get everyone out and vote, not just for Northam but against the entire Republican slate of candidates.

Whatever happened to their beloved States’ Rights? (It never applies to California. Just Dixie.)

On the other hand, if he decided to report the abuse as a third party, it could have torpedoed her career just as quickly as if she reported it herself. Given that she chose to endure the abuse and get tenure before filing a complaint, I’m not convinced she would have thanked him. I think he’s doing the right thing…

You’re right. Most of their power is derived from the double threat of withholding endorsements and running attack ads, setting the already screaming base on fire.

“Would women act the same way if put in positions of unlimited power with no accountability?”

People don’t like to think that the NRA is supported by actual Americans who vote on things. They prefer to think of it as a handful of rich old men who throw money at the government to keep their guns.

The NRA doesn’t give politicians that much money. You can look it up, I even saw it posted on one of the blogs here but you are talking about a few thousand each. It isn’t the money, it is the endorsement of the NRA that gets people elected, mostly in primaries. When the NRA decides it is against a Republican in a…

71 percent of 512 female respondents said they had been sexually harassed during field work

Gross sexual harassment and emotional abuse by men of women in remote field work areas?

Alright guys, let’s all come together and realize this important fact: no one cares about dick size. Seems like men fetish dick size more than women, and it’s weird. Just stop it.

So... you’re suggesting murder.

I like the cut of your jib.

This Farrah could really just have curves worth a damn and the writer calls her fat because he’s racist and used to “petite” Asian girls.

I wish I believed this Katie. I know far too many people who legitimately think stuff like Las Vegas “is the price we pay for the 2nd amendment, and if I was there I would have taken him out!”
It’s not just congress, a large swath of this country is absolutely gun crazy.
I don’t think this country will ever let congress…

First guy is racist and a fat-shamer. And I feel for him, because it really seems like he doesn’t want to be. But them’s the breaks. If you can say “I don’t want to be with her ... because she’s black”, that’s racism. It doesn’t matter how many extraneous steps you put in between.

Seriously. “I consider myself woke” is the new “I am not racist but...”
