I think they're those ads in the back of the Village Voice.

I still don’t know what an escort card is and my 5th anniversary is in September. HAS MY MARRIAGE BEEN ANNULLED? I don’t want to do it all over again.

There isn’t a whole lot you can do to a tenured professor, and the relationship that you have as an advisee of theirs can put you in a very precarious position. If you become a thorn in their side, they can make your life a whole hell of a lot more painful. They can keep you from graduating in a timely fashion, or…

Its also kind of though... if he is focussed on her boobs, how much attention is he paying to the fucking advice he is supposed to be giving her?

I have worked as the only woman engineer in my department at a big tech company, back in the 80s and early 90s, so I’m speaking from experience here:

That’s the sucky thing about this. I want to tell her to tell him to stop. But having been a grad student and a post-doc, I realize how very powerless those positions are. If she says something, it could end her career. Grad students and post-docs need unions.

Theoretically I agree with you. But not everyone has the desire to be the one that will fight all injustice. I’ve seen people win their sexual harassment cases whose careers and reputations were destroyed. You have to know that this is a risk, even if you win. I admire the ones that fight but I’m sure as hell not…

Yeah, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has this incredible Ted Talk where she discusses “the single story” and why it’s harmful. Even “good” stereotypes are just one story, and that’s diminishing.

Yes. Positive stereotypes are as illogical and racist as negative stereotypes. Anyone lauding them or just saying “it’s efficient” or “it’s better than a negative stereotype” should be chastized and shamed. Even including popular actresses on a TV show that is generally awesome and woman-positive! :Gasp:

Hastert’s grandson looks like a 90 year old man.

Yes, and positive stereotypes can also detract from a feeling of accomplishment. If a Asian kid is at the top of her class and people tell her, "Of course you're at the top of the class, you're Asian!", then they are discounting your personal accomplishment and attributing her success to something inherited and not…

We happen to believe that driving is a high-pressured activity where our values maybe compromised by exposure to selfishness, road-rage, bad language and other inappropriate behaviour.

Yeah, I think this succeeded at being funny but didn’t really get into the actual issues w “positive” stereotypes. There’s also the issue that a lot of the time when we say that a group is good at something we’re ignoring whatever hardships that group faces that force them to work hard at that thing. (sorry that’s as…

This review was so fun, I may never see another movie ever again.

It is not so much stupidity, it is the meanness. As well as a correspondingly vicious commitment to ignorance.

When asking jurors whether they could hear a soft-spoken female witness, Dooley said: “I’m sorry folks, but I can’t slap her around to make her talk louder.”

I’m not familiar with her but I’ll check her out. I’m more into old school stuff but Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, June Carter Cash, Loretta Lynn, Emmylou Harris... are some of the most genius songwriters that ever happened.

Wait, women are the tomatoes and men are the lettuce? So men are the bland, featureless filler that makes up most of the salad, while women are the tasty stuff that I actually want?

Sorry dude. Of the country music I ever listen to about 99% of the artists I like are female. Male artists are usually shit like Toby Keith.
