your name is amazing. my partner is a (white male) academic in a female-dominated field. He has always been aware of the fact that the students are always kinder to him in evaluations. He’s witnessed the results of new (female) colleagues receiving their evals and having been on committees with them (or co-taught…

so her forehead makes me think about botox. should I try it? look at her smooth, beautiful forehead!

Thank god! And here I thought my friday was a garbage day.

It’s hard to break spending habits. I used to live by a strict budget (and I mean strict! tracked to the dollar) and rarely spent money on a daily basis. Fast forward past kid and house, now I have grown into the habit of grazing (aka spending a little here and there throughout the day). I’m trying to return to focus…

and yeah, I live walking distance to city centre.

Here, a big worry is maintaining power and heat - so it’s important to have your shovels easily accessible (if you are expecting a big dump, consider having one inside), keep a long extension cord on hand (in case power gets knocked out, you can borrow from a neighbour), and be aware of your neighbours. I have a…

so they take advantage of you and you suggest thanking them? sounds like enabling abusive behaviour. Maybe the next time they eat your food, you eat something of theirs or say with a smile “It’s all good, I used your tooth brush to clean behind my ears.”

We are on the same page ;) I think it’s an awesome statement as well; often people (or should I say women?) that have an unpopular but correct opinion are flagged as “bitter”.

I got more stuck on the group text to “close friends and relatives”. Do you think she sent it to his mom??

so being bitter and being right are two different things?

so even fake family blows? wtf.

This is awesome

given the situation, I think this was a great response.

I feel so sorry for the women that she did this to, imagine if she took a beautiful portrait of you and shoved her (modified) face on top. Creepy!

Yeah, I totally feel sorry for her! I mean, imagine how hard it will be to date or get a job after people google her. Imagine trying to explain this at a job interview or with your tinder connection.

If she had to pick one for Tinder, I think this should be it!

It’s a classic, narcissistic move. She takes something and makes it all about herself - if people love it, great! She’s amazing. If people hate it, great! She’s still the centre of attention. There’s also the gendered nuance - if she wanted to raise awareness, why make it about appearances at all? Personally, I’m…
