I’m pretty sure this is a myth. Formerly peaceful humans do not typically go on spontaneous rampages, no matter how desperate they are. In fact some research suggests a crisis is more likely to cause these people to sacrifice and help their communities. As the article says, the rise in crime is most likely caused by…

Former veterinary nurse (now Biologist) here. Cats were my specialty, so I won’t comment on dog nutrition. But there are a few things to understand. Cats are obligate carnivores and have very very unique nutritional and physiological needs. The pet food industry used to feed them like small dogs, and to this day they…

That answer kicks ass. Thank you! Though not terribly reassuring, 😄 the detail is worthy of a textbook.

I agree with this, the woman has had enough strangers taking an interest in her already.

One time in college (I was 19) I was walking to the convenience store. I saw a woman and child crying. A man was shouting at them, next thing I knew the man grabbed the child and sped off in his car as the woman collapsed on the ground screaming. Honestly? I had never seen anything like that except in the movies. I…

I say speak to the man instead of the victim.

I think this is a wonderful idea but I myself would not welcome it in a public space. Give me a shot at the creep first. Granted, no one has an obligation to help me personally; but I would welcome this if I were completely alone or if I were in danger. Sadly in my life I’ve had to become an expert in public…

YES, thank you. Coworkers and semi-friends like to lecture me on the dangers of running at my lake alone, and I should keep my ears free. I did so for 9 years, loving the sound of birds and pine needles crunching under my feet. And also 9 years of men (sometimes groups of men) leering, commenting on my jogging bra,…

The location of her portraits is determined by the stories women tell her, and it is always in public—buses, Tube stations, streets, and restaurants are recurring locations in the project—because she wants “to give an impression of everyday life and the unfortunate normality of harassment.

In fact the poor wording only drives home that this person has no business teaching kids. Assuming this assignment wasn’t intended to spread racism, I know some students who could have crafted a far better question.

Huh, I always thought that putting down an entire group of people based on something like race, gender or age was considered discrimination. But what do I know.......

Great piece! 🙂 I have some advice and a few questions too. Advice is shop around for pharmacists who know how to cause minimal pain. Some are absolutely better than others. And yeah, I had swine flu in 2009 trust me you don’t want it. I was shivering so violently I actually considered going to the hospital.…

Hmm. That was my nickname at math camp.

Beautiful!! I bet this scene is very close in lifestyle to how their ancient miacid ancestors lived early in the age of mammals and before the dinosaurs died out. The entire cat family have few genes and are remarkably close in behavior including domestic felines. Lovely story. Also can we PLEASE have many more lovely…

Show me a smart, competent young professional woman who is utterly derailed by a verbal unwanted sexual advance or an inappropriate comment about her appearance, and I will show you a rare spotted owl.

This is the article. Note the “humorous bum-touching photo” to remind us women to lighten up. https://digest.bps.org.uk/2016/10/10/training-men-to-judge-womens-sexual-interest-more-accurately/

I’m a London junkie and I follow UCL on social media and watched them crush their competitors on University Challenge. They are constantly bragging about being top in the world for academics, and on their page they try waaaay too hard to special profile “Female Scientist”!! instead of simply posting about the…

Kidnapping a 17 year old, lying about where she is being taken then whipping out your dick. Please, please tell me you realize this is illegal.
