You hate him for doing his job?

Ted Cruz looks like if Jim Henson was sent to hell and the devil forced him to make a human muppet in 10 minutes.

Way to punish women and children. There are many reasons why a woman might not name the father of her child. This law is just a way to punish single mothers.

You would think that any reasonable, non-racist person would be able to make an exception for executive orders and/or other federal intervention where the enslavement of human beings is concerned. “States’ rights” my ass.

Your insistence on properly identifying parts of speech is what’s keeping us from the revolution

Counterpoint: this is awesome

Wait until he hears about the halal meals.

What is ridiculous to me is the fact that either Killer Mike or Elliott used this language in the first place. It is one thing to say “I am voting based on issues, not on gender,” but focusing on her uterus (or vagina, which I have heard both men and women talk about this election cycle) reduces women to our…

As someone who was once a thirteen-year-old girl, I’d just like to say: this bill does not in any way represent my bathroom needs. Making sure there’s always toilet paper in the stalls? Yep. Making sure the toilets aren’t clogged? Sure. A working tampon dispenser? Absolutely. A lack of graffiti on the wall? Ummm...I…

The term, biological sex, as used in this Act, means the physical condition of being male or female as determined by a person’s chromosomes and anatomy as identified at birth.

The worst thing about meeting different kinds of people is that you start to think of them as, in fact, people.

Oh god. I’ll never forget “abortion day.” I was literally the only pregnant person in a room of 100 or so and I’m pretty sure a bunch of my male classmates piped up explaining things about pregnancy and how it’s really no big deal.

it can feel like if a guy screws up, he just made a mistake. If a woman does, it’s because women shouldn’t be scientists.

I’m sure that’s part of it. In my experience, women are less likely to speak up because we feel like we have to be 100% correct about everything, and better and smarter than the guys. I’m sure it’s all in my head, but it can feel like if a guy screws up, he just made a mistake. If a woman does, it’s because women…

Yes, yes, THIS THIS THIS. As a new attorney I participated in an Inns of Court for trial practice. I delivered a pretty dynamic cross-examination and closing argument. My male counterpart also moved around quite a bit, shifted his weight, etc. So when it came down to comment time from the FEMALE judge, who was a…

I got the same thing when I took a trial advocacy class, actually, now that you mention it. I actually spent a lot of time thinking about how to navigate the situation when a jury’s involved. Like, your first duty is to your client. Juries like it when women smile. So you should smile more to help your client. But you…

Probably because law school is all the assholes you knew in undergrad, all in one place.

As someone who occasionally negotiates with government attorneys, it’s amazing how my process of “be nice to them” works in a majority of cases. Like, treat the other side like humans and amazingly that gets a lot of traction.

This applies 1000% in law school. I even got what we call “book awards” for having the highest grade in both of our writing classes, and I was still mansplained to every time we had a study group.
