“Meat Love Supreme” was my favorite one of the Supremes.

If you elect me to office, I promise to personally shove a slice of Meat-Love Supreme pizza down the throat of every American man, woman, and child.

Does anyone else think there is something fundamentally weird in this day and age about continuing to give an elected official’s spouse any kind of power to lead and execute government projects? Like, I didn’t vote for Chirlane McCray. I might have, if she’d run, but she didn’t. I voted for Christine Quinn, who is the…

Ok, this is pretty hippie, but mine has been helped with unsulphured blackstrap molasses. It literally cuts my bleeding and pain in half. The theory behind it is that many women are deficient in iron and minerals and weirdly the body responds to that with extra bleeding. Another option is iron pills, but I never can…

Yeah, but that’s after you already have opened the clinic. How did he get the money to even open it? Just renting office space would take several thousand, furnishing it another several thousand, not to mention there is no way that an 18 year old would have the credit necessary to even obtain those things unless…

All it needs is a ghostly version of him in the top right corner, staring at the bigger him.

Where did he get the money to do all of this? That clinic looks huge! That website looks legit! I wish he could have just used his love for medicine in a positive way by - say - getting a medical degree and actually being licensed to practice it.

Great lede.

It goes farther than that, I think. Not only are young women subordinating their voices to their male peers, I think they’re still trying to appease their male peers with their bodies without understanding that having to appease, impress and please men at all to be “liked” or “approved” is an expression of society’s…

“It takes some time to even notice the sexism in our world.”—> dude I KNOW. I mean, I don’t find it offensive because when you read Gloria’s writings she admits to buying into a lot of paradigms for male journos vs. females before being ready to take them on critically. I used to defer to the most vocal of my male…

You will get piled on, but I agree. I didn’t see anything shocking about her assessment that young women tend to more subservient to men. Like...that’s how it goes. It takes some time to even notice the sexism in our world. You have to work awhile before you feel it. Have a couple crap relationships before it clicks.…

I’m gonna get so much shit for saying this but studies like this only reinforce my belief that GloStein’s comments about Bernie supporters was a bit on-the-nose. Young women are taught to keep their voices pleasant (no fighting tones, no vocal fry); they internalize their under-representation by keeping their voices…

I wonder if that’s also about the men being far more gunners and speaking up in class to demonstrate their intelligence. Like, in my 1L class the person who ended up winning the Best Brief award during the moot court competition was a woman who just never spoke up, so we really didn’t have much of an opportunity to…

And the downside of creating a supportive environment that encourages more hesitant students to contribute is that you can’t roll your eyes and say “Thank you, Captain Obvious”, much as you might want to.

You've just described my entire career.

OMG this! My threshold for contributing to class is that I thoroughly understand the material AND have something substantial AND novel to add. With guys, they seem to believe they’re blessing the proceedings with the sound of their inane, uninformed fucking voices.

i’m sure these aren’t the same guys who talk over female colleagues 5 years later.

It’s a lot of ego. And god forbid a woman take an interest in something like family law. I got a verbal pat on the head every time someone discovered that my biggest ambition wasn’t to be partner in a huge corporate law office.

After TAing more than a dozen classes, I wish I could say I was even a little bit surprised by this. Moderately prepared male students speak up more than the highest-achieving female students, and then other students assume they must know what they’re talking about or they wouldn’t volunteer so much. Exceptions…

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.
