Hillary’s been doing this all day, every day for decades. Little Brett lost his shit because he’s never had his actions questioned before. He never had to face any consequences for his behavior until now. So he went into a full blown meltdown, even though he must know that he will soon get what he thinks he is…

I think the story she wants to tell starts off like this: “I read the Handmaid’s Tale and really identified with the character of Serena Joy.”

His response to Amy Klobuchar was all I ever needed to know about him. I can’t even put it into words how disgusting it was (how disgusting he is as a human being). This is a man who when faced with pressure will fall on name calling, gaslighting, and mansplaining to talk his way out. Not even talk, just argue until…

Ford’s comment about laughter being the most hurtful detail she remembered really resonated with me, and I teared up when she said it.

This tweet is too real:

Well, let’s see how things go with Weinstein — a rich white man — before saying rapists aren’t untouchable.

I said this on Twitter but will repeat it here:

This doesn’t surprise me. Cycles of abuse are self-perpetuating. I’m surprised more people aren’t pointing out how distressingly similar the details of this assault are to her allegation against Weinstein: the grooming and isolating of the victim, providing alcohol before attacking etc. It’s infuriating to think…

“there are few women in positions of power”—is this really true in most large American Universities? I work for a woman department chair, woman dean, woman provost, and male president. The “senior leadership” at NYU is comprised if 17 men and 10 women. What’s your definition of “few”?

Full-on protective tenure should only apply towards what you’re publishing, i.e. they can’t fire you for publishing in niche weird fields, publishing strident feminist manifestos, publishing findings that contravene accepted knowledge, etc. EVERYONE should get a hearing if accused of interpersonal wrongdoing, whether…

Seriously! I hear you, and raise you. I had to fire a psycho from my committee (outside reader). Very powerful in my subfield, as in: total job gatekeeper. She actually called everyone else she could think of whom I might ask to step in, to warn them off working with me. Then she threatened to sue me if I published my…

Advisors have a lot of power over their advisees. They can make your life miserable, torpedo your career early on. I know mine, while mostly well-intentioned, made me suffer greatly due to her untreated psychiatric problems. The power imbalance in this relationship cannot be stressed enough.

It’s only now, with the language around the MeToo movement, that I’ve been able to look back at what happened to me in graduate school and recognize that it was sexual harassment. Because my advisor was a woman (as am I) everyone just said “she’s hard to work with.” Without a doubt, that experience changed my career…

So essentially; Grimes (the character) is cool and awesome but unfortunately, Claire Elise Boucher is just another idiot.

This! I'm a Native American woman and my mom is the same way. She's yelled at me and screams to get out of her house when I come to visit and she baits me into politics. How do I get her to see that we're all next when all she watches is fox news!? 

God, can you believe I know an Egyptian woman who agrees with the ban? Her country could be next for God’s sake. I had to stop talking to that woman because she and all the nonsense that came out of her mouth made me depressed.

I’m beginning to believe they don’t read their own t-shirts.

JP is the kind of “intellectual” the right loves to grab a hold of and milk for all they’re worth because they are one of the extreme few conservative “experts” that have their Ph.D, and they use the guy’s doctorate paper as a shield against any form of criticism whatsoever. This tactic has been under incessant use by…

I really appreciate the class analysis in this; it’s one of the key reasons I avoid yoga and meditation classes in NYC.

I just had a discussion with a co-worker, regarding this video. What struck me, for different reasons than one might suspect, is the erroneous discussion on rape. A man might appear and drag you into the bushes. It’s typically a false assumption, but it’s instilled as a fear in girls.
