you are lying. who the fuck is starring you.

I agree with you, I think. Maybe I should clarify. By ‘wrong’ I meant morally wrong. I do agree that her actions seem to have been somewhere on the scales of unprofessional and unwise, but not wrong. What that kid did, on the other hand, was deliberately and viciously cause harm to another human being. As far as I can…

Ditto. I also don’t understand why grown adults take nude pictures of themselves (i got that out of my system in my late teens, and thank god those were analog days), but whateves. She still didn’t do anything wrong, while that kid is a cruel, abusive little shit.

You clearly are not aware that Yale (and other elite schools) do not give athletic scholarships.

That is absolutely, positively not true, and I am horrified by how many people on this site seem to believe this.

Yes.

Why do non-feminists know that every child also has a male parent, yet not understand that fathers should be held to the same responsibilities and standards?

Aaannd this is a huge part of why I’ve decided to leave academia. Not the sexism specifically, but in the sense that it’s a part of what I’ve come to understand as a huge and basic problem in the ivory tower. It is the most hypocritical, cruel culture, precisely because it believes itself to be the bastion and source…

hate to break it to you, but companies and colleges are not all that different.

Ok, so I guess Steinem meant what she said about Bernie and young women, but it was also an awkward moment in an otherwise solidly feminist interview. Idk, I’m for Bernie, he’d be better for women than Hilary just based on his commitment to dealing with wealth inequality, but I can’t condemn Steinem - overall she’s…

Because they get into relationships with Muslim men.

In practice, don’t they all only apply to women? I actually don’t have an issue with the notion of modest dress as a sort of philosophical approach to life that’s about paying attention to the person and not their body. But it seems like it always ends up being about (straight) male sexual jealousy and the policing of…

Why is this even remotely surprising? TSA isn’t looking for pills. If they inspected every pill that went through their machines we’d all have to get to the airport like 24 hours before our flights.

Uh, that’s a pretty common will thing. My grandparents stipulated that me and my sisters wouldn’t get anything til my youngest sister was 30. To like, make sure we learned how to take care of ourselves and stuff.

Oh he absolutely did it.

I actually think Jay’s story might have kept changing because he was high out of his mind when this stuff happened and literally couldn’t remember the sequence of events.

Relationships don’t actually require financial sharing, though. Splitting bills, even in unequal percentages (if, say, one partner makes 70% of household income and the other makes 30%) is not difficult. Some might argue that it’s way less stressful than worrying about how a shared fund should be used. If one partner…

Except, women don’t do this all the time. It is really quite uncommon.

‘single bachelors’ is redundant, no?

I watched about half of it and walked out, largely because of this. The fact that the first woman I’d seen in over an hour was a First Nations woman getting raped sealed it for me. Also, the movie was boring as fuck.
