You can just say “Ms.” And, no.

An ex of mine was (is? he may still be, dunno) an adjunct and he got a lot of negative feedback about his sense of humor - he was really sarcastic and kids thought he was making fun of them. I pointed out that a lot of his students were the first in their families to go to college so, you know, maybe try not to sour…

Agreed all around! Teachers are supposed to honor the asymmetrical relationship and be respectful of our students.

As a parent myself and the child of someone who taught teenagers for 35 years, I can atest that kids are often difficult to terrible. However, I’d say this awful dipshit should be stripped of her teachers license immediately. She clearly lacks the temperament to deal with humans in general, much less kids.

I generally think demanding that high school teachers protect the delicate ears of their students is laughable (many of my best high school teachers could only go about 1.5 periods without swearing and “it’s debate not masturbate” is the best thing I’ve heard all day), but this woman didn’t just swear, she went…

Sorry, this teacher isn’t cool and this topic isn’t funny. I’ve taught college for 15 years, and I wouldn’t say this to 18 year olds, much less 10th graders. You’re in an immense position of power as a teacher. It’s really important not to mock your students. I had one teacher in HS who consistently made fun of…

So you’re mansplaining mansplaining mansplaining to me.

This is what makes me so crazy about the “Why would any real rape victim refuse to report the rape to the police?” narrative. The most probable result of reporting a rape to the police is that the victim will be grilled for hours about whether she wanted it, whether she said she didn’t want it enough times and…

Yeah, you don’t offer bail or an ankle braclet to a violent domestic abuser who was caught armed after kidnapping and torturing his wife...especially when they lives six miles from one another (says so in source). This judge fucked up royally and it cost this woman her life.

But he was such a promising young man. Locking him up wouldn’t have done him any good!

Fuck this asshole. My daughter is autistic. She has been autistic since she was born. I knew there was something different long before she got the MMR vaccine. My daughter being autistic is just who she is. She sees and processed the world differently. That’s okay. I wouldn’t change her even if I could. To me it…

“hypocrisy of the female” sounds like something said through a haze of cheeto dust.

While it is super annoying to see people contantly bring it up years later, it isn’t super helpful to deny that for many years the writers on this site would respond to any accusation that an article was anti-feminist by saying that Jezebel isn’t a feminist site.

I asked how I could blame this on Republicans.

Sure seems like you were placing the blame all on on Republicans.

I apologize since I mistakenly thought we were talking about prison population.

Yes! Why do people feel soo entitled to her space? She’s fired the guy and called him out as an ass. There’s nothing left for her to say to you... I'd block you too!

Yeah, anybody can block anybody on Twitter. If the first I hear of you as a person is you up in my @s yelling at me about something (at the same time that THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO YELLING AT ME IN MY @S) I would feel no compunction blocking you, and fuck anyone who tells me I am obligated to patiently let…

Counterpoint: the older I get, the less of a shit I give what adults do that only affects them. Only when I got to the part about her younger kids being taken from her did I feel any give-a-shit.
