I am 34 now, and happily married.

Yes, IMO the incidents Kavanaugh is accused of are really bad, but what equally pisses me off is his lies, his indignation.

Sure it does. A guy isn’t going to do that because he thinks the woman will say “yay!” and commence to sucking. He’s going to do that because he knows it will make her uncomfortable. In this case, she’s saying that she felt Kavanaugh did this to flex his power over her - to say, “See, I can do this nasty, threatening…

Oh, no, he was 145% being sarcastic. Like, he couldn’t believe how absurd the defense’s argument was (that the defendant had already suffered enough because his victim castrated him so he shouldn’t get a prison sentence for the rape), so Barba was like, “Welp, out with my plan, let’s just make this look as stupid as…

I have relations that have 3 girls and 1 boy. Two of the girls are named Keighley and Michaela. My grandmother was confused until the day she died. Every time they were mentioned, she said “That’s the same name”. She was not incorrect.

Exactly.

I have a coworker who absolutely “knows the difference,” but keeps approaching the entire thing like it’s some argument that can be won by technicalities. He just sprints right to the absurd. He’ll act like someone can go to jail or lose their job for sexual assault because they gave someone a pat on the butt.

I’m not going to waste my time on a woman’s website trying to explain to a man what it’s like having to live life on this planet as a woman, but I will shorthand this whole thread for you by saying that we’re tired of having to explain to commenters like Kev what basic respect and equality mean - it ain’t that hard to…

Defensive, patronizing and arrogant - what a surprise. Thank you for proving my point.

My mom works in HR for a county and does investigations when there are complaints/abuse of power. They recently got a complaint about a male manager not acting appropriately, so my mom interviewed a lot of the women who worked in that office and they all came back with the same complaint - that this guy would come up…

Fuck those fucking fuckers.

I was temporarily living overseas in the UK for uni. I worked occasionally as a life drawing model (nude art model for artists) for various art classes. I was up there on the stage during one informal class in a fairly dark room, kind of blanking out (as you do, standing doing nothing for a half hour at a time). I…

At no point did he realize how bad he was at his job? Like, there was no one, like not one person more competent around a Roman candle?

The only guy to give me fireworks is a douchebag who gaslighted me and stomped all over my heart. So yeah there’s that.

I never really cared about fireworks one way or the other. That changed in 1989 and now they make me feel nothing but dread.

Fireworks twice with the same guy.

Goofdoof, at eight minutes and a google search in the bathroom you should have bailed.  70 minutes?  Oh, honey. 

Thanks for sharing this video! I agree that making everything about biology is probably not the best way to phrase this, and I’m happy to change the way I see how “important” that is. But I think this video actually does a great job of showing that research at least needs to include both XX and XY animals at the basic…

You’re right. There really is no such thing as a specifically “male” or “female” brain. However, there are biological differences that present in male and female animals. In both cases, sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone influence neurobiology and behavior. I honestly don’t care what the influence of those…
