Something tells me, too, that “crappy parenting” generally falls more on the mother’s shoulders than the father’s. Just another way to blame women.

CJ Cregg is amazing because Allison Janney is amazing. CJ Cregg is amazing in spite of the fact that Aaron Sorkin is a gigantic douchebag who can’t write women for shit.

And what about women who are unable to articulate their needs because they have internalized society’s message to put their own sexual desire on the back burner in favor of their partner’s?

Yes

I thought the whole “she said yes” thing didn’t actually happen at Columbine.

How is it “much more than a ‘single maniac’”? Are you referring to the Charleston shooting because it took place in a church? I honestly have not heard of any other events of violence targeted at Christians in the US.

It’s quite mean-spirited to ask people to take selfies and then make fun of them for it, yes.

That’s a good point, my university may have already been primed for this because we did have a shooting several years ago.

Luckily, university professors and administration are almost universally opposed to guns on campus. I have actually never had a conversation with anyone in my profession who supports it, even a classmate (during grad school) who LOVED guns and was an NRA member. The problem mostly lies with the legislatures in red…

I’m a staff member so I don’t teach, but I went to grad school at the same institution I currently work for, and it’s in every syllabus now. I think one of my profs said that it wasn’t required, but “strongly recommended” by the provost. I just checked the language and it says “emergency procedures,” not “extreme…

I also work at a university and this is also my worst nightmare. These are places where students are supposed to learn and grow and feel safe. Halfway through grad school (right after Newtown) my university started requiring professors to include an “in case of extreme violence” paragraph in their course syllabi. It…

I dunno, it does seem sexist to me. Maybe I am being a fuddy-duddy here, but if this were a group of frat bros bro-ing out on their phones I don’t think the cameraman or announcers would’ve paid much attention at all.

I am the first person to hate on college/university Greek life culture, but this is just straight up mean-spirited.

And these are from the farmer’s market so they are even better! Grown like 20 miles from my house and picked recently!

So far this week I have been very lazy about cooking. Takeout and pasta (although the pesto I put on it was homemade, but I’ve had it in the freezer for a while so it didn’t take any effort at the time I put it on my pasta). Tonight I think I will do a salmon packet with some sliced potatoes. I usually try to do a…

Reasons fall is amazing:

Go Steve!

My main problem with your commentary here is that you and raisedbycats, neither of whom are ethnically Jewish/have family that has been affected by the Holocaust, are talking like you seem to think that you know better for the Jewish community than those of us who have dealt with this our entire lives. Honestly, I’m…

That would stress me the fuck out, because I am totally a travel planner. But one day I want to do just that and see how my boyfriend reacts. He always expects me to be the planner and it is stressful as FUCK. I worry that I am planning too much downtime, I worry that I don’t plan enough. I worry that he won’t enjoy…

I had to do it multiple times because the first time I went I did it in a Sephora inside JCP (it’s the only option without driving 1.5+ hours to one of the freestanding mall Sephoras) and the lighting is HORRIBLE in those!
