Exactly, attacking the wrong people gives power to those who are abusers who can dub their abuse as “false information” when we attack those who do get attacked on a lack or peripheral false information.

Yeah, like I understand why people have initial reactions considering the light of Harvey Weinstein and sick fucks like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck coming to light, but so much of these stories coming out are false information growing out of a truthful root. It almost feels like slander (even though I know it is not)…

Because that is what will disrupt the sudden burst overreaction and outrage. Like I’m all for dragging shitty men, what I ain’t down with is dragging people who have shown growth and learned from their mistakes.

Jason Momoa apologized and made a documentary about rape. He apologized again. We can continue to flagellate him when he actually made progress/amends or we can actually bring the spotlight back onto a serious predator with current conversation we are all having. I suggest this dude:

Right, but the thing Hannah thinks is a “ruined joke” is a quote from the NY Post, not the Comic Con panel. And as far as I can tell, the NYP quote is literally what happened on the show. Followed by Momoa saying he’s not a rapist.

Um? he did apologize...six years ago when the joke was made and seemed to have learned from it.

Unless I’m mistaken, didn’t he already apologize years ago, soon after he made the joke? And educated himself on why it was a dumb joke to make?

It is a flawless apology at least. None of this “sorry you were offended” fuckery. I am grateful he was able to clear this sadly low bar.

Posted on AV Club about this but am grey there — This is the jackass who cancelled Good Girls Revolt in spite of acclaim, ratings, etc. He just didn’t like it so! They should have fired him then because that is just idiotic management to dump the biggest breakout, talked-about show they had in that season because…

Or maybe if you are going to spend half a million dollars on your career, you do a better job of planning in your life. Jfc. This whole conversation is a study in entitlement. If you want the big career, you make sacrifices. It depends on what is important to you as a person. We don’t get 100% of everything we want.

Yup. The joke is that we have a “dead or in jail” policy for short-notice time off. Sick? TOO BAD, GO TO WORK. Sick kid? HAHA FUCK YOU.

I think it sucks that society overall assumes a woman will give up more than the man. I know plenty of women that have delayed or given up careers willingly, but there are still others that give up children for career or vice versa.

My mom managed to get through (medical school) because my dad drove taxis at night and took care of me as a baby in the morning. He had something like 4 hours of sleep every day. He continued to do this even after my sister was born. After her program finished, she was able to pay for him to go back to school.

When our first child was born, she was unplanned. My wife was becoming a teacher, that was her dream. After her maternity leave, I stayed home with our beautiful child. I delayed my career because we couldn’t do it all and have a child. I eventually got the career I wanted and wouldn’t change the delay for anything.…

You’re getting flamed for this but I agree. I know a woman, who was a secretary she wanted to do corporate law. Her husband said ok. He worked 4 jobs to put her through law school, they planned had kids so that she would take the bar and deliver around the same time. Then she got a job with waffle house, she makes…

As someone who has dated a woman who is a surgeon, it’s a pretty complicated issue that goes beyond starting a family. This is the most important line in this article.

The rigidity of the medical training path puts people (mostly women) in an incredibly (and unnecessarily, IMO) shitty position if you want to have a career and a family.

What this really is about fathers who aren’t doing their part of raising the kids. They want to be there for Kodak moments, and let their domestic/reproductive slave(many people like to call this a wife) to do all the cunt work. This is something nobody is talking about, whole societies are expected to support women…

This is a bit pedantic but the headline should read they are having issues completing surgical residencies, not medical residencies since the study didn’t focus on internal medicine residents but on surgical residents.

I have a friend whose wife didn’t decide to go to med school until after she found out that they couldn’t have kids. She was already a pharmacist, so it isn’t like she didn’t think she could handle the education. She just didn’t think it would ever be practical to be a physician and a mother.
