That's the thing, I find it hard to reconcile this article with the idea that women can do anything men can do. Obviously, I believe that women are every bot as capable as men, but this article gives ammunition to the people who say the US can't have a female president, as she'll start a war when she has PMS.

So, when men say women are unpredictable, overly emotional, and nasty when they're on their periods, they're being feminist. Ok, got it.

From now on I am going to tell all my man-friends that my misandry is an evolutionary advantage, even if I am not even really PMSing.

Here's the biggest problem with this well written, yet misguided, piece. I've had the luxury of working for a law enforcement entity, and have also had the pleasure of living my entire life as a minority. While what you say is true about the militarization of police, it's not for the reasons you say it is. It's not…

Dark, drab, and disappointing! Is she Hercules extra?? A brooding novice warrior princess who's not yet allowed to wear the fancy trim?? C'mon guys, Wonder Woman is dazzling and fierce. She's optimistic. She's bright. She's all about primary colors and gold glitz. Dressing her up like a brown beetle is like putting…

In my work experience, it's best to move through emotions quickly and privately, and focus your energy on positive outcomes. Coworkers aren't lovers or family members who should tend to each others innermost "feelings"—they're people who need to communicate about expectations, timelines, goals, opportunities, and…

A broad clinical discussion about at-risk populations is *about* numbers, statistics, behavioral tendencies and other faceless, depersonalized issues. And this cover visually depicts a particular high- risk group in generic terms. I don't see the problem.

Yeah, I was actually surprised to hear that ISU was doing this. But, people who don't live in IL think the entire state is Boystown, Chicago. But like, even more liberal.

The irony here is that ISU (located in Normal, Illinois!) is a banal, polite, Midwest Nice, Eisenhower Republican kind of campus utterly uninterested in making any big political statements. They're just being accommodating to trans students—-and this is not a controversy on campus or in the community. So if ISU can…

It's not really racist. They just aren't super aware to the hyper-sensitive PC train that's rolling through the Western hemisphere right now. Their culture is way different. Asian countries are absolutely obsessed with having porcelain skin. The more white and untouched by the sun you are, the more attractive you are…

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Other than the word "white," the ad doesn't have any other verbal or visual references to Caucasian ethnicity. Isn't it kind of ethnocentric to immediately assume that the ad is about becoming Caucasian?

I'm pretty sure they're talking about white as in skin color rather than white as in Caucasian. Asian society has been emphasizing white skin as a beauty standard for CENTURIES. Impossible beauty standard, yes. Bad English translation, yes. Racism? Questionable.

Islamic modesty isn't just about covering skin; it's about concealing body contours. So I'm not convinced that a skin-tight, sequined cat suit is entirely halal.

You forgot to mention this part:

Nah, any emotional distressed is coupled with the fact that the situation was partly influenced by her falling asleep and forgetting to pick up her child. I'd think her best bet would be being thankful her child was ok, finding a new day care, and moving on.

But it's women's fault for existing. Why can't they just not exist?

Politics 101: When your target demographic thinks you have nothing to offer them, your message isn't working. Feminists need to realize that these indifferent young women are not the problem. And neither is the media. And neither is the patriarchy. You're the problem. If feminism is no longer a word or a concept…

On the most recent episode of This American Life, Molly Ringwald watches The Breakfast Club with her 10-year-old daughter Matilda and oh my god the audio is so adorable that if you haven't listened yet, you must. The segment starts at about 39:00. Listen! Do it!

I'd hit it. Would you?
