ADULTOSAUR in: THE ACADEMY PERSON

And as far as the accusations about the Academy being racist? Yes, most members are white males, but they are not the cast of Deliverance — they had to get into the Academy to begin with, so they're not cretinous, snaggletoothed hillbillies.

Hey men were made from dirt in the bible so we don't have room to brag.

What exactly is being mansplained here? He's quite rightly pointing out that men find it easy to slip into (or simply be in) patriarchal normative modes of thought when surrounded by nothing but other men, especially when dealing with a dynamic of power over others. Sounds to me like the OP even acknowledges his own…

Yeah, I was just thinking what his average curfew might be. Maybe earlier than expected since his friends are dating 17 year olds?

Yeah that sounds more like "Why isn't she a proper homemaker?"

If a child crying for a minute is a sign they should be left home then toddlers should just never appear in public, ever.

omg did you see hilary's pinterest

I think little of young, inexperienced adults as far as their maturity level and ability when it comes to an adult activity. Young adult men are relatively awful at sex. I've banged plenty in my late twenties, because those particular 21 year olds had very lovely abs. They're eager to please, and they're athletic. …

If lying to kids counts, I told my eight-year-old niece this Christmas that her mother wasn't calling her inside from playing in the snow to be mean, but because we knew that the Frost Giants roamed at night, looking for lost children to take away to their icy kingdom to be their slaves, and the children would never…

When I was 14 or 15, I participated in a summer live-in college prep program at the local university. There were, IIRC, 125 other high-school kids, along with a dozen or so staff and instructors. At the beginning of the program, they distributed a whole lot of paperwork that most people never read, including a list of…

Worked at a summer camp for three years, and one of the games the staff would play would be to see who could come up with the most ridiculous lie the campers would believe. Yeah, yeah, lying to kids is like shooting fish in a barrel, but it was still fun.

One time, I was walking with a group of campers back to their…

For every bigoted homophobe that says "I have lots of gay friends", there's a gay guy saying "So there's this homophobic asshole that I work with".

Seriously. I don't care in the least about Izzy in particular, I just don't find stuff like this funny no matter who it happens to. And her status as whipping girl of the moment — and the entire fact Jez HAS whipping girls of the moment — makes me cranky and sarcastic.

Women, Nationwide is NOT on your side.

Half of me agrees with you, but the other half is offended.

In all fairness, men are known for being bad at math.

when these were popular the first time I so desperately wanted to cool that I bought light wash mom jeans 5 sizes too big and called them my "waddle pants". I wore them with white clog style Nursemates. What I'm saying is, the late ninties were a good time for me style wise and I made a lot of sound decisions.

All the more reason the government to provide maternity leave for ALL workers.

Comparing it to torture? But they don't have any problems with torture.
