I think her comment pointed out (in a kind way) that your joke is the exact same joke that has been made by generations of men- including those that opposed legislation against spousal rape, in support of equal pay, or for equal access to education.

Yes. But I think it's really important that we have a thorough discussion and reenforce the point that it really would be horrible if the Irish ate their babies.

Don't the outliers test the rule, though? Focusing on men seems reasonable, but the presence of same sex domestic violence and women on men domestic violence suggests that while gender is highly correlated to domestic violence, it's not causal. So focusing only on men ignores significant data that could allow us to…

So I'm started a job in psych (Monday! Yay!) and am one of those nerds who love reading articles. Please, realize these requests are genuine and not some "citation needed" sarcasm.

Sorry for your loss.

This sounds like an amazing wedding! You hosted a wedding AND a concert. Weddings are such a stressful time for the bride and groom, but it sounds like you had a blast. Can you name the band?

Health care is one of the biggest employers in most areas. It's hard to drop that when you leave work in the evening.

Because you are a woman. That's why they are saying that. Remember it when you need to judge their character.

Oh god. Flashbacks.

Sure, you have your graphs and p-values, but I have several personal anecdotes of women who waited AND THEN THEY COULDN'T GET PREGNANT!
Lo! If only they had realized the folly of their ways when they were young and beautiful. We all know that couples with children are MUCH happier than those without and that the…

Didn't they want to get rid of Spock because he looked "satanic", but then found he had an unexpected popularity with female viewers?

When I was in college, an RA had a program where he made us smoothies and put on a good movie. Then he slipped gummi bears into our drinks to show us how easy it was to get drugged.
I wonder if there could be a similar program, maybe where a falling down drunk girl is led past a group in a rec room by a guy or…

Cosigned.

Hyper sexuality and asexuality can be signs of a medical disorder, especially if it's a recent change. But I can't think of many other issues that cause as many people (who apparently have secret medical degrees) to start offering free medical advice.

It comes up when someone assumes that you are straight and starts making ridiculous claims about gays or bisexuals. Then, you make the stupid decision to speak up. The other party continues to stick to their original claim while also insisting that you are lying/attention seeking/confused.
"I like both" quickly…

I don't know why this double posted. Whatever. You win at everything.

"I'm attracted to ______."
"No you aren't."
"and you would know more about my sexuality than me?"
And then I try to disengage and find the bar so I can make it through the rest of any interaction I have to have with this person.

Food in the bathroom normally freaks me out, but this sounds amazing. The only thing better would be watching netflix at the same time.

I think this is a really clever take on the whole thing. My response was something like, "Idiots wearing tacky and inappropriate Halloween costumes to parties is a tradition."

Sure, this is a rational response to the situation.
But you're overlooking the a chance to criticize a parent for how they are raising their kid! A FEMALE parent! Who appeared in public! With her kids!

You really can't let moments like this slip by. It's very important that to point out all of the mistakes she…

I'm begining to think rape isn't always a power or sex thing, it's a selfishness thing. I want to do this and you can't stop me. Like a child throwing a tantrum. Which is what these apologists sound like.

God. Your friend's story hits so close to home. I wish I could give you both hugs through the computer.

How can someone be your friend for years and rape you? Because he wanted to.
Men can hear "no", it's just that they don't care- maybe because you are a woman, maybe because they know they'll get away with it…
