sigh. WELL IT SHOULD

OMG, I hate that “you should be flattered” line. There’s this guy who keeps commenting on the appearance of various female workers at my office (including myself), and his excuse is always “but it’s a compliment!” I wanted to kick him in the balls.

Another junior faculty member (male) implied that I should be flattered that a tenured male faculty member described me as “attractive" to a student, and that said tenured faculty member was too stupid to be taken seriously. Thanks for the support, bro!

You should be thankful you’re allowed to have a job where you can be harassed! Did your eyes fall out of your head from rolling so hard at her?

The same could be said of the U.S. prison system.

Agreed. Canada and the UK has a system. We have, like you said, have a for profit industry.

It’s funny*, yesterday, while reporting harassment by colleagues to Human Resources the woman taking my formal complaint said “it really is all about perspective,” then proceeded to talk about how revolutionary it might seem to Saudi women that they just got the vote, and how that is old news to Western women. All I…

The same thing that keeps Ireland and Poland back. Bronze age fairy tales.

Not to mention they have yet to show me they are “pro-life” in any way. They support the death penalty, complete deregulation of gun control, doing away with WIC/Head Start/the Department of Education/low cost birth control/affordable healthcare/sex ed in schools/lower cost higher education. Pretty much anything that…

Great point I hadn't seen stressed before.

Religion. We have too much religion.

Because, they’re not actually “pro-life” they’re “pro-birth”. They could give 2 shits what happens after birth.

George Carlin said “ pro-life is anti-woman” and that is a true description of the movement,

The U.S. healthcare system

No kidding. The brand of pro-life these people push reduces women’s bodies to objects that the women themselves have no autonomy over. Fuck that noise, that’s about as anti-woman as you can get.

I really dislike these “pro-life is pro-women” posters. I do not think anything could be farther from the truth.
