I have tried to stay above the Rey-Finn-Poe shipping thing on the internet, but that final Valentine is so perfect I may have to take a side now.

That’s Wookie-speak for “Roses are red, Han is dead, Fuck everything, I’ll rip your arms off motherfucker.”

But doesn’t it all boil down to the fundamental issue of who does the parenting? And as long as women are willing to put up with having children with men who expect them to do 80% of the parenting and house work, of course their careers are going to suffer. I guess in academia it’s even worse since those years are so

One of the female faculty when I was in grad school talked about a ~very~ derisive male member of a promotion (or tenure...I don’t remember the details) committee that she was on. The woman who was up for tenure/promotion had had a rough pregnancy, and had been on bed rest for most of it. She had had to take the

I was prepping to defend my masters while pregnant. I actually had my all male committee argue that I would be too stressed to get my defense ready while pregnant, and I should wait until after I had the baby. I could work on it while he was sleeping. They all have children. :O

THIS. One of my male colleagues has been vocally derisive of the idea of parental leave. Then he got prostate cancer and was out all of last semester and into this one. I really wish that experience might have made him more sympathetic to the pregnant women in the department, but I highly doubt it.

Man with kids = gotta pay him more so he can support that family!

What is especially frustrating about this is a lot of women KNOW they will be judged more harshly so we work our asses off to make up for it. I may not be able to stay late at work because I need to pick up my kid from daycare but I’m routinely getting more work done than I did before I had her. We know we have less

My god, you would be amazed at how many otherwise ‘progressive’ profs I’ve met that will still spout out the most sexist shit about women in academia. Mainly the comments seem to be around how the ladies shouldn’t bother trying to get a tenured position if they want kids, because obviously that’s going to take up too

Only the endangered ones

She’s new, but don’t worry. The industry will crush her spirit in no time.

And the sad thing is you know this is probably going to wreck her modelling career. You know they love that cardboard shit.

Agree. I like the metallic ombre´.

As a 12-year old, I was mortified that the rhinos were doing it, and my grandfather wanted to stop to watch!

Additionally, it seems like a diverse group of women, I’d never heard of this designer before and now I like him. Hope the girl who giggled didn't get in trouble.

The one smiling about the turtles is the only one who doesn’t look dead inside

Hahaha I can’t blame her at all. I once saw two tortoises doing it at the Australia Zoo when I was there in college and it was hilarious. Did you know that the male tortoise actually makes noise while attempting to do the deed? Like these loud awkward grunts. I’m really surprised there’s only one model snickering,

I love that people were "flabbergasted" that wild animals would be getting it on with no regards for propriety.
