"Rice shouldn't have been carrying a toy gun in an open carry state if he didn't want to get shot." Already one in the comments. Fuuuuk these people.

Not super surprising. A good write-up on other research can be found here, with links to original research articles:

It's murder to shoot someone while that person has his hands in the air in surrender.

If the grand jury determined that Wilson shot Brown while Brown had his hands in the air in surrender, they would have brought charges.

BRB, need to tell my husband I'm leaving to pursue Dev Patel.

'Duh', says any woman who has ever taught a class in a male-coded discipline. I hope this publication helps this student expand the research program to do more replication, and maybe look at other biases.

but the response should not be to restack the deck against the accused.

It's a really interesting quirk of language for sure, because I think we often perceive speakers of more UK English to be 'fancier' when there are probably as many contractions, just different ones.

I do. 'I've' for 'I have', 'Mary's not' for 'Mary has not', 'you'll not' for 'you will/shall not'. These were all very common contractions used by my mother in our home. While they may reflect a non-US American influence, they're not wrong.

It might seem unsavory to talk about balancing the rights of the accused and the accuser, but any just system demands it, and I think it's in the interest of colleges to act in a way that limits injustice to both parties.

You talk about 'rights' for the accused. Under what amendment is an institution forced to give an education to anyone who wants it? Under what amendment is a college education at the institution of one's choosing a 'right'? Because I didn't get into my first choice college. While it never hurt me (I've a PhD and a…

So you're saying that the school should allow someone who has been accused of rape to continue sleeping in the dorm next to the victim and should force the victim to attend classes with the person who raped them? That's an interesting take.

A "crazy person" who apparently made his own home-brew of misogyny in a vacuum.

Because God knows we'd rather have our faces in the toilet, or be stuck in bed than doing productive work. Pregnant women don't need money or want to advance in their careers.

I explained my "morning" sickeness to an organizer of a meeting once, and told her that I would really like to be put at X hour of the day, rather than Y, as I had been getting ill at Y hour. She scheduled me during Y hour, and I left twice during the talk to vomit.

This fuck ever reply to request? No? Five bucks says Galt and Joon are a couple o' basement virgins who've never worked a damn day in their lives.

I looked much more mixed during my pregnancy (mostly pass now, mostly didn't during pregnancy), due to thickning hair and skin changes. I learned more about classism and motherhood than I ever wanted to know. People would really prefer if some types of women did not become mothers, and that absolutely affects their…

And to be clear: I think women objecting to maternity accommodations is rooted in internalized misogyny and gender roles.

That's certainly true. I took leave; it was vital. But my point is that a lot of people oppose accomodations. Not just conservative blowhards. Other people we'd normally consider allies. I wish I could be more optimistic, but I don't see the situation improving. At least pregnancy doesn't disqualify you from buying…

It's a bummer, because a pregnancy discrimination act is controversial, even among feminists. I had a long argument with a couple childfree people last time this lawsuit came up on this site, who insisted that pregnancy protections privilege women who choose to have children. I'd be surprised if this ever gets off the…
