Criminologist/forensic lady here! While the use of the terminology of ‘sex’ or ‘gender’ in terms of the dead is very fraught and has to be acknowledged as problematic - gender as a social construct, etc. - skeletons are nevertheless typically ‘sexed’ (wow, that sounds terrible) as part of forensic or archaeological…

I don’t tightlace-a practice which can absolutely have unpleasant side effects.

I ate a whole orange.

Yes, if you wore it every day, all day.

In a way, I understand it, but in another way, isn’t it regressing to 18 century practices aimed at reducing female mobility ?

That is exactly what they think. Exactly what they're conditioned to think. My mom was in a Christian cult in America in the 70s

It’s kind of a weird statement, because outside of the handful of signifiers in the pelvis, most of the things used to suggest a skeleton’s sex (and there are several) are really just about the smaller, finer features - which could be present in a male who just happens to be small and slight. Everything outside of the…

Sshe’s [sic] conveniently married to an economist

I guess you see what you want to see. Do you think he would have said “go talk to your wife” if the genders had been reversed? I don’t think so.

Doesn’t matter. They give out a Nobel for economics every year. There are lots of Nobel-winning economists, but he specifically told her to go ask the one that is her husband. There is a whole long history of women not being allowed to do anything without the permission of their husbands. THAT is why this is a deeply…

It’s patronizing that he thinks she needs to consult anyone, much less someone who agrees with her, and it's double patronizing to come from him.

It’s specifically because he told her to consult her husband that it’s patronizing.

Wait why aren’t we friends with Jennifer Lawrence anymore? I missed the memo.

Dude, that cop came prancing out in his underwear and tried to take control over their whole plan. And they didn’t need him to. He wasn’t sniveling humble apologies, he specifically said “you need me” to them in the kitchen (and where did that cockiness come from? Jessica had to keep him from committing homicide and…

Except those shows are also morality plays. Walking dead is a what-if humanity was attacked and almost destroyed by a great OTHER. In those parameters, the equality of men and women would be a logical reponse to the situation. But it also shows that once we contain that menace, sadly Man (with a big M) would turn on…

Even if it is the most strident feminist sermon in history...SO WHAT? Even if it is 1000% feminist wish-fulfillement about kicking abusers and bad men in the balls every five minutes, SO WHAT? Why should in anyways this be fair to men, who actually do a COLLOSAL percentage of the abuses in the world. See, this is why…

feeling theaten, i see. you like a hug, bro?

Purple Man is the douche who keeps telling random women to “smile” taken to the MOST extreme holy fucking shit. This show is amazing.

This is such a grandma scar, isn’t it? :-) Is it polio vaccine? Smallpox?
