I just read in another article that her dress was 40k. The wedding itself has to be up in the six figures if she spent that much on a dress alone. If the groom is okay with all of this, I’m going to assume they’re likely cut from the same cloth and perfect for each other.

I thought all abortions were based on the same thing. A woman’s right to have one.

AS SHE SHOULD. Because people are awful and my child will live with me forever so I can protect him from all the awful awfulness.

Fuck this guy. I will bring a shovel.

Tara annoyed me so much on Buffy, that I wasn’t upset about her death. I was surprised to learn that she was such a popular character with other fans of the show.

I would say this is also a reason for companies to put policies in place that counteract unconscious biases. Just a couple of examples: blind auditions for musical performers or deleting gender and race identifying information from prospective employees résumés. Even the best-intentioned ally can still have…

Childbirth and subsequent motherhood is far more taxing on a woman’s mind and body than abortion is. People like Mr. Irons forget that, because they equate “woman” with “mother.” Those are not synonyms.

This is my brother (a white male). If women/people of color complain about discrimination/oppression/abuse, they are imagining things and have conspiracy theories and are making it all about race. If white male behavior is questioned in any way, people are bullies and whiners who can’t pull themselves up by their own…

The Larry Sanders Show had that skin crawling awkwardness that Curb Your Enthusiasm mined later.

My first reaction was “hey, we’d take this a lot more seriously if the recipient was a girl!” then I remember that I was once a girl in junior high who got groped just about daily and no one ever did anything to stop it so...I stopped talking.

Or she found out she was written out of Betty’s will.

I’ve seen and really don’t get this argument. My last name has been my last name from birth. Just like it was my father’s last name from birth. Is it more “his” last name than mine because he’s a man? Or because he’s older? It’s not “my father’s name”—it’s a whole bunch of “Keyser’s” (men and women) names. Including…

As someone with a chronic illness, who has spent way too much time in the ER, I can tell you that I have been left alone for hours before a nurse or doctor checked-in on me.

Gahhh, I'm the woooorst. My mind lives in the gutter and everything anybody says (in any setting, office or otherwise) is automatically a That's What She Said moment, and I cross the line with my "humor" a LOT, thinking everybody is as immature as I am. Some of them are not. I'm a chick.

THAT is the stereotype he thinks is at play here?? I don’t think he knows as much about this shit as he thinks he does.

Have done both myself. At an academic conference I, a cisgendered woman, wore a tie. My advisor said in front of all the male PhD students and a female professor “Oh boy, you look like you’re confused about sumptin” and I said, quick as a flash, “well, if you can’t beat ‘em, mock ‘em.” Just to say, this is from a gay…

it seems like he didn’t even try with his defense??

Uh oh.

We all are, apparently. $9.25 minimum wage in Portland at 20hrs a week would double his yearly income.
