My dad did a lot of this, specifically with math since he's a high school math teacher. My senior year my calculus teacher actually took me aside and asked me to stop coming to class because my input was disruptive, I spent the rest of the year taking an early lunch at Taco Bell, now that was some good learnin!

You should do what my dad did and supplement your kid's education with information that isn't blatantly racist and sexist. I would come home from second grade talking about Thomas Jefferson and my dad would be like, "I bet they didn't teach you about how he fucked his slaves." Plus I bet you'd learn some cool stuff…

I personally was really bothered by the way he put it considering it in context with all his other remarks that are insensitive towards trans people, but I guess if all the cis people are weighing in that we trans folks shouldn't be offended... gosh that's good enough for me!

I think our cultural hangups about sex contribute to this issue, though. No one wants to acknowledge that 12 year olds are engaging in sexual activity, so no one lets anyone in to talk about consent when they're 10. Ideally, prevention programs would build on years of empathy and boundaries education, but we don't get…

For an artist who claims to be subversive and pro-LGBTQ, I haven't really seen anything come from her that is truly subversive to heternormativity or media portrayals of sex. The nudity/sexy quotient is whatever, but I never get the sense that she's really bucking the system. It feels like the same pop machine as…

I think the only interpretation needed is the one that says "She's trying to hard" and "She possesses an almost crippling fear of not being as epic and revolutionary as she thinks she is" with a dash of "Just throw everything against the wall and see what sticks" mentality.

The only thing missing from this music video is an actual song.

What an elaborate video for music that sounds like it could be found on a $3 dance compilation disc from Big Lots. She has her head so far up her ass the days. She needs to disconnect from the people who keep telling her she is an artistic genius and read some feedback online from real people who aren't on her…

Good thing the US is no longer controlled by religious dogmBREAKING NEWS, EVERY SOUTHERN STATE JUST MADE VAGINAS ILLEGAL UNLESS THEY ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED TO GIVE BIRTH. ABORTION NOW LEGALLY EQUATED WITH "TWELVE HOLOCAUSTS."

How what? How not to find her ignorant? You just don't. You realize that there are lots of different types of intelligences. Or you realize that a person's worth - or the degree to which a person is worthy of your attention, or worthy of your lack of eye-rolling - doesn't come from knowing words, or terms, or about…

I guess, but I don't see how that's a problem for someone who is as smart as this woman claims to be. Be pleasant and don't feel compelled to talk at work. Keep your mouth shut and get the job done. IMO, she can't learn how to solve this "problem" unless she realizes how judgmental she's currently being. How else can…

I don't want to speak for anyone else. And I wouldn't say that I was offended by the OP. I've certainly interacted with people who don't seem interested in current events, or don't know words that I think are pretty common, etc. I just take exception to the idea from the OP that this is something that needs to be…

"Anyway, why isn't working alongside someone who isn't as smart as you considered a real problem that you have to figure out how to deal with and might want advice on?"

Practice your "different strokes" face. We all need them for the plebeians.

Perhaps you should try not finding her ignorant, rather than trying to find a way to let it show that you think she's ignorant? If your tastes/interests are as divergent as you describe, then you're probably ignorant of lots of things that she knows about as well. Why don't you try getting to know her better? Perhaps…

IVF made me capital C Crazy. Even for a couple months after stopping the shots. It's like PMS on steroids for months on end. I would cry for no reason, explode over minor stuff... I would cut her some slack.

I'm not missing any point. Do you condescend to her like that when she doesn't know something? It is clear. You feel superior to her. You want to whine and act like you feel bad because she is missing out, but in reality, it is a platform for you to validated yourself. I think you brought it up because it is…

I'm not sure what you mean by "how would you handle this?" Handle what? That she doesn't know what words mean? That she's not interested in reading? Who cares? I don't understand why it needs to be a thing you have to "get [your] mind around." Is she a nice person? A good cubicle neighbor? I honestly don't see what…
