Yeah, there was a bunch of women’s history (mostly white of course) in the 1980s and 1990s as feminists entered the academy and now...it’s not like there is no more women’s history, but a lot of the gender stuff seems to be directed at analyzing masculinity in historical context. Which is totally interesting, but yeah.

“William Scott, 16, was arrested on Saturday and has pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of cruelty to a child, reportedly for allowing the girl to engage in a sex act, and “possession of obscene material,” for keeping footage of the incident on his phone.”

Maybe even villains! There! All better!

What on earth are you so invested in arguing so passionately, then? That boring women get laid more than boring men? That women on the spectrum somehow have it easier socially than men on the spectrum, something which a woman who identifies as being on the spectrum has painstakingly proven to you is not the case? It

I remember that, too! It was really artfully done, and I think meant to shock us. If I recall correctly, the camera stays at litter-eye-view while we watch the family drive away from us. I think it’s meant to remind us not to romanticize the people of the past, who were incredibly wasteful and did things like dump raw

Oh my god, yes. Not to mention if it’s always when he’s in the mood but not necessarily when you are, the sex is only good for you some of the time, instead of most of the time. I mean, I can’t be the only weirdo who has better sex when it happens on my timeline as well?

I’m sorry, what?

Are you kidding? My husband and I are in a pretty damned equitable relationship and I’m still the one who takes care of the vast majority of our social responsibilities. I RSVP for events, keep track of when we’re meeting people, plan and execute, answer questions, always have my phone available in case someone is

Agreed. I am and have always been called “challenging” and “intense” and other things by both men and women because I wouldn’t let racist or sexist jokes pass, because I stood my ground on issues like my right to have an abortion and didn’t waffle and say, “well, I see your side...” Economics and history and what

of course not. the sarcasm is pretty look over there what’s that I think it might be a bird no a plane shit its actually a toilet seat from space the rain on the plain in spain in spain the rain

.

If you are willing to own your shit and work through it, yes it can. I had never had a healthy romantic relationship until I met my husband. I had some shit to work through as I adjusted to being with an adult and in an adult relationship (poor thing—we met when he was just over thirty but I was still in my

I see what you mean but be careful. This sort of innocuous thinking in the 19th century led to 20th century thoughts of “well, can’t we just breed the bad out of people?” which was the base of eugenics in the US.

I mean, no. You’re good if you study like people suggested. I’m just a dumb history major who hadn’t taken a math class in a decade. :)

DUDE. Forget everything you learned about how to write a fancy essay in college and basically dial that shit back down to freshman English 101. Intro, thesis, three body paragraphs, conclusion. Boring as hell but I wish I’d known and not tried to be so fancy. Let’s not talk about Math.

This is so very true and it is infuriating that people are ignoring this. We already know that female actors are hired on looks, and that their expiration date for female lead is much younger than their make counterparts; we already know that there are fewer roles for women period, and definitely fewer juicy

In my experience, looking back, it is possible that the people who I was in relationship who annoyed me with their clinginess knew something I didn’t: that I wasn’t into them to the degree that they wanted me to be into them. I tried to be upfront all the time about what I wanted and didn’t want in every situation but

I loved Lost! Even though it had some serious issues, I watched it all the way through. And I was happy to explain things to my husband when he started watching with me to catch up because while I’ve been a sci-fi nerd my entire life (I did a very elaborate 6th grade project on Dune, for instance), I’m also a woman,

“Oh, come ON. You’re also having him blow smoke in her face? No one will buy that. How about they run into each other at the gym instead and are both on the treadmill...?”

There are lots of reasons why someone might live here and not have the right paperwork. Jose Antonio Vargas serves as an example of someone who didn’t even know he was undocumented until he tried to get his driver’s license.
