except not.

That’s not a double standard, unless people that are against catcalling are fine with it when women do it. When have you ever heard people standing up for the [largely imaginary] women that catcall? This is what’s known in the biz as a “strawman argument.”

Carla was awesome. I was so sad when her character kind of disappeared in the second half of season 2. Since the show said she (along with the other new programmers) quit, I don’t see her returning for season 3. :(

“How can someone not keep track?”

You are not a token just by being a PoC on a mostly white show. You’re a token when when you’re cast explicitly to brown up a show. Dinesh is not a token character on the show. Carla, the female coder in season 2, on the other hand almost certainly is a token as her character appears to have been created in response…

They DO have POC in the cast. In the first episode, Gavin Belson is looking out over the Hooli campus at the pods of friends socializing on the quad, and observes that they always travel in groups of five: a tall, skinny white guy, a short, skinny Asian guy, a fat guy with a ponytail, a guy with weird facial hair, and…

So, she interviews the daughter, asks the number, then won’t publish it because she thinks it will be upsetting to her husband, but says it’s a really high number. OK.

This would be quite effective were it not for the fact that “women: you have to treat them like sh*t” is the subtext for the entire Republican party.

I think I would rather subject my self to experimental torture than discuss sexual partners with my mom. One time, she tried to talk to me about the great sex she was having with her boyfriend before I had to shut her down promptly and remind her that this is not, and never will be, the kind of relationship we have. I…

It’s amazing that “how many you’ve slept with” is still a topic among folks. Why does it fucking matter?

I’ve been in Tech for 20 years at some of the largest tech companies and I cannot count how many times I am the only woman in a room with 30+ men. I think SV is hilarious and plays with the stereotypes that we all recognize.

Exactly, I actually love that “woman engineer” quote. Comes from the same episode I mention above. As a woman working closely to the VC / tech world, this show often hits home. In another episode they show a female VC being told to not dress too attractively as she’s turning down a company for funding. It’s obvious…

The first article I read about this further quotes Judge or one of the writers talking about how they have a 50% female writing staff. The Business Insider article linked in this one doesn’t have the entire interview.

In some cases, the “Whipping Boy” became very close friend of the royal princes and even rewarded by them later in life. I think Charles 1 even made his an Earl.

Fact: Cat dicks are made of star stuff.

Problem is, a lot of the so-called moderate Muslims aren’t doing enough to stop the radicals. Not to mention, even the moderates seem to hold pretty regressive views (regarding such things like apostasy, homosexuality, gender equality, etc.) and are pretty vehement about holding on to those views. When I see polls…

Education addresses the long term. Drones address the short term. You need plans for both. Without addressing the short term, you can’t implement the long term (basically, if you let these sick fucks run around with impunity, then you can’t educate the girls).

When something is that ingrained within your upbringing it is very, very difficult to escape. If “just leaving” was that easy, no one would stay with abusive spouses or remain in contact with abusive parents.

I went to a gym class in the South and they were playing “hardcore” Christian rap and I found myself running to “Bathe in the blood of Christ!”

The point is that often the women AREN’T consenting and I really doubt any man stops to find out or even care. And the wives of the johns aren’t consenting either — to either secret betrayal or sexually transmitted diseases that they’d never think to check for to treat.
