I do fieldwork in the Canadian Arctic and Subarctic, where bears (black/brown/grizzly/polar, depending on where you are) are something you have to think about.

Was present for a graduate professor telling a classroom full of people this was real. When I corrected him privately, he told me I didn’t know what I was talking about, and when I pointed him to the flawed studies, the NPS response to the attack mentioned, and the context of the NPS trying to slow the push of women…

Ditto. It’s a cute song, it has a genuinely positive, inclusive message. I’ve no room for snark today.

Good on her for taking this on. The whole “you’re not like other girls” thing is so, so gross.
