I think maybe the show of support was in response to the tantrum. That's not really a good example because I've been softly hating that person's inanity for a while. A lot of times the response to health/pregnancy questions here though is "do whatever you want/ drink wine(!)" when it seems like it would be more…

That's true about academic librarians, but unions, and perhaps more meaningfully tenure, exists because that structure is already in place owing to the presence of the teaching faculty. At the institution I came from, even the type of tenure "faculty" librarians who belonged to the union had was different; i.e. based…
Likewise, no one can tell an adult woman that she must seek obstetric care during her pregnancy if she would rather opt for a midwife. I did it. Totally legal.
I got my MIS on the way to my PhD and one thing that struck me was that no other profession, not even academics with terminal degrees, obsessed over the stereotypes associated with being a librarian as much, hence all the ludicrous "tattooed librarian" calendars in lieu of meaningful gains, such as a union, for…
No. Disagreeing with someone on the Internet is not trolling. Having a different opinion than another feminist is not trolling. Look at a Canadian feminist discussion board regarding the recently passed C36 legislation and you will see very passionate polarisation from the "decriminalise all sex work" faction on one…
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the over the top patronising attitude toward WoC. Let's be serious, Janet Mock is a pop culture personality (one who calls others "fish" based on her assessment of how feminine they appear), not Sojourner Truth. It's akin to the out of bounds reaction some whites…
Does this ?
"After a brief confrontation in which Barnes attempted to flee, officers were able to rescue Carlesha."
I don't care really what someone at a fourth-tier Anglophone public does I'm more interested in the Jezebel opinion police antics. Go take some Ativan and chill out. P.S. The people in OZ claim to love nothing less than HRH but I bet you'd feel different about rushing to their defense had you pranced around them in…
How many stories do you see about the other graduates of the accounting program, who perhaps not white/married to money-positive spouse/conventionally attractive/traditional aged may have overcome adversity/be admitted to a prestigious grad program/be interesting in some other way beside procreating / do you see on…
I love how the Jezebel commentariat stars comments that involve the actual commission of violence toward people it disagrees with. If I'm in a public place, a picnic table, a restaurant, a mall food court or wherever, or at my kitchen table or in the dining car on a train for that matter, it's legally sanctioned to…
But it doesn't say, that, because this is Jezebel, designed to put women to each other's throats. And because it would have required some further research on the part of Schrayber. I'm not being paid to be an investigative journalist on Jezebel's behalf on the global breastfeeding beat.
No, I believe making oneself the centre of attention during a ceremony intended to honour the achievements of a group is lacking in decorum, selfish, and disruptive.
It's actually NOT her moment, unless she is the only person picking up a degree in the accounting division. Graduation day belongs to the students. Seriously, if you 'have it all,' share some of it with a family member by asking them to mind the baby for a couple hours.
I'm sorry but I DO NOT want to see this at my graduation. My husband, family, and academic advisor will be sitting in the audience, and me on the dais; this is a time-honoured academic tradition. It's meant to acknowledge the camaraderie and achievement of the people graduating. I get that this is perfectly legal, the…
