I mean, to be fair, Judith Butler's prose IS unapproachable and overly dense. But so is Derrida's. So is Deleuze and Guattari. So is so much of what is beloved in theory circles, particularly by men. (I have yet to meet a single female student who has anywhere near the enthusiasm for Derrida as like...half the dudes I…

Amen. And don't even get me started on the time that a philosophy student told me that Judith Butler's prose was "unreadable" and that "it was too dense to get through" and I'm like YOU WORK ON MOTHERFUCKING HEGEL.

with some incident or another involving the London club's fans seeming to pop off every season.

I think it comes more from the Philosophy side than the Comparative Literature side, but Comparative Literature is a rather misleading name...it is comparative because it often involves working in multiple languages simultaneously (most programs require at least 2 foreign languages, one of which one must be fluent in…

Westbrook shot 57% from the floor and 5 for 9 from the 3 point line and was the best and most exciting player in the game. He was the no doubt MVP. Not even close.

I'm not super invested in this question but...shoot, I'll give it a go. Is it that she's "amazing at it" or is that she fits into a very narrow definition of attractive more than most?

Plays like that are exactly why the sixers have been so unstoppable this year

So because he got CTE at a time when we didn't know what that was, but now we do, and have changed the rules to account for head injuries, his son will still definitely get CTE?

That's because you're an asshole. And not just an asshole, but also a complete moron without even the most limited logical reasoning skills.

Nothing more privileged than slaves forced to fight to the death!

Hey, guys! Check out the super special atheist snowflake! They're so edgy and "real" what with their disregard for the feelings of others . Good thing they don't have some imaginary sky god telling them not to be an asshole! Now they get to be an asshole ALL THE TIME! They're not just trying to make their Catholic mom…

Way to miss the point there.

Yeah, I used to think prescriptivists were just kind of silly; exactly how do you *think* language developed from a system of primate calls? Not by staying the same. These days, I see it as strongly racist and classist. Even at its mildest form, it has a snotty superiority to it, and as it gets nastier it becomes a…

I know your comment sure helped me!
