THAT SHIT PISSES ME OFF TO NO END. He'll never write anything useful and his heirs will sell it to some museum for a ridiculous price.

I've always been a super fan of that one. Especially when he brings his knees up and is basically sitting on me. Hits the right spot, that does...

That is precisely my fear.

That's outrageous. The state of history as a profession is just fucked up. Forget about trying to look at things in a different way, trying to make connections between our world and what came before us, or trying to change the status quo.

no he's banned from batman too

They don't—and there are 50,000 new HIV infections in the U.S. annually. Not that Ebola research doesn't need to be funded and the situation in west Africa is grim, but Americans need to get a grip.

Not to mention all the men who say the things some women historians study aren't worth studying. One time when I was working on my MA in history, we had a grad student roundtable and I found myself surrounded by earnest young men saying "This thing they call women's history doesn't even matter! Why are we still…

he has probs jacked off on all of them

lol look at the back of the book. like idk read the fucking bibliography. u do u CFPM.

Nah, fuck that shit. If someone calls they can leave a message. Grrr.

I write women's science history and I get this allllll the time. I even include a list of sources beneath every article but no that's not good enough. They want me to literally spell it out for them and give them quotes and page numbers. So infuriating.

Oh, I wish I had the ability to star this comment a million times and make it the top comment on every single article about Ebola panic on every single site.

George Will is not a historian. My female PhD advisor, who is the smartest person I've ever run across and scares the daylights out of me, is. The term "historian" is thrown around way too loosely. We don't call people who haven't been to law school lawyers, after all.

Oh, don't worry 김치전! Catnado here is a resident troll of ours.

I can't even say I'm particularly surprised, given that just earlier today my (male) boss announced "I don't like women authors."

I've written non-fiction history and I can tell you that, yup, I have had men demand primary documentation. Which my reply is, look at the back of the fucking book. THere's 6 pages. If you need more, email me and I'll give you everything I read. There's over 200 books on the list. I recommend starting with the thin…

The book sounds awesome! Civil War history is such a boys club, I'm surprised he even concedes her skills in discussing battles.

"Women's magazine?" If a regular "women's magazine" had pure espionage, tales of disguise, seduction, and secretly radical social justice, hell motherfucker yeah I'd read that shit.

Gotta love the literary sexism bros. They'll be here any minute with "This can't be sexist because opinions are subjective, so he subjectively just doesn't like women's writing, duh", or something.

Wow, that letter is pure poetry. What a great way to handle a sexist asshole who reviews books based on the gender of the author and not the content of the books themselves.
