Here’s a link to some paintbrushes so you can continue to paint with the broadest strokes imaginable: http://bit.ly/1pVlWxS.

The Jian Ghomeshi verdict was near-universally viewed as a symbol of how the testimony of people who repeatedly lie and conceal facts during a trial cannot be accepted as credible. I can see why someone who apparently does not understand that feels it is appropriate that people should be condemned on the basis of

Holy crap, did anyone really bother to read all that?

I truly can’t believe what I’m reading ... I’ve observed none of these experiences at the university level. I sense paranoia or prejudice against middle-aged men, frankly.

Too long, so didn’t read completely. Got about halfway and there had been a lot of artistic venting in poems and grousing on social media and the like. Did ANYONE actually get to the point of FILING A POLICE REPORT.

The tough, resilient first-wave feminists of the 1960s must shake their heads at the endless self-pity and seeming utter helplessness of so many present-day women in this culture of victimization. You can’t have it both ways—proclaim yourselves strong and proud and independent—while cowering the moment someone looks

Not sexual harassment. And that’s likely why they have now changed the headline, which was irresponsible clickbait. Isn’t Trump’s campaign bad enough that we shouldn’t HAVE to do that? It makes Trump critics look bad/hysterical/hyperbolic — just what we don’t need.

People need to be called out for making sexist comments, but I feel like a lot of people have been resigning or getting fired for them. That feels a little counterproductive to me. I’d rather people learn their lesson and keep their job. Teach the lesson you learned the hard way to everyone else in your industry.

That is one of the biggest bs comments I’ve ever seen around tennis. Williams sisters are known in the US pretty well becuase, you know, they are American and there isn’t a male American top tennis player right now. In addition to that, the fact that you are more known in a specific country doesn’t mean that 1) you

Best of five in majors. Nobody’s saying anything about that.

And they exist even in sports like tennis, where the “performance gap” between men and women isn’t really a thing

Men’s soccer is by far the biggest sport in the world. Women’s soccer is only big in America. America has more registered women’s soccer players than all European countries combined. Of course they’re successful.

The women would gladly play 5 sets but the tournaments don’t want them to.

“Prize, wage, and support gaps exist between the genders at the elite level in almost every sport in the United States.”

Tennis players like Henin and Clijsters have talked about the difficulty of sports and kids and how they’re at odds (Henin retired and ended a glittering career early to have children). Players and ex-players like Heather Watson and Annabel Croft have talked about the difficulty of playing tennis on their period.

...and Jezebel wrote a post about it.

I completely agree with Djokovic here. I watch both men’s and women’s tennis. It’s one of the only sports where the difference in size and strength doesn’t have a huge effect the quality of the match/game. However, men’s tennis is generally more enjoyable. If they bring in more money, then they should be paid more.

I’ll miss you guys.

The potato salad thing is real, in case you forgot about it.

Wait, so you are saying when a career field has an influx of qualified labor, the wages drop collectively? No shit, that is how things work when the more labor is introduced into a system.
