Right? There is nothing to “make”of this beyond another sexual harasser protected by their shitty friends. Being female, queer, feminist or Jewish doesn’t preclude anyone from being an abuser. And any person of any gender is entitled to file a Title IX claim. This isn’t rocket science. I am also annoyed the article…

“Everything I say is queer hyperbole”.... FU lady. Your student felt pressured to engage with you and get sexually harasssed bc you held their future in your hands and then you say he resents you bc he didn’t get a job or any gains from being harassed by you for years.... yeah no shit he’s angry and feels violated, no…

Lauding her “brilliant scholarship” and “intellectual generosity” and noting that the French government recently bestowed a prestigious award upon her,

Yup. I’m also v tired of the “—of Jewish heritage—” shit casually thrown in there. Like, who gives a flying fuck about your heritage, not sure how it’s germane to possible sexual harassment, etc.

Seems pretty straightforward: we are to make of it what we’d make of any academic sending emails that are transparently sexual harassment. I'll be goddamned if I'm not gonna say anything about all the "but she was a good professor!" whining. She obviously wasn't THAT good if she was sending those emails and her best…

Kristen hits this one out of the park. “But guise, guise, he had some really nice cars!” has been written over all the more significant and creepier aspects.

“So if you’re going to pull a random rant about a dead guy remotely related to cars who used to date underage girls...”

TBH I don’t see what the difference would have been, other than a better body and some Super Bowl rings.

God bless you for that “Fosse Fosse Fosse” tag, Megan.

New Reality show pitch:  in which Alana Thompson is taken away from her mother to be raised by Cher.

In response to the flood of burners and, let’s face it, men moaning about how this advice is either: 1. sexist or 2. pointless because everyone recognizes these volunteer tasks and gives credit for it, allow me to present a small sample of the ways that I, a professional woman, have been asked to volunteer to do…

(Woman in engineering) For better or worse, one of my mentors in college strongly impressed on us (female engineering students) that we should never EVER volunteer to do admin/office management tasks once we started working as it would blur the lines on our actual job duties and reinforce the idea that women do office…

GOD Olivia Colman is: BUSY and I am: HERE FOR IT.

I loved that show. Despite others’ take on Legend’s performance, I thought he did great, too.

Ugg. I’ve had that conversation with people close to me too. “But Aunty Edith’s feelings will be hurt!” Yeah, well, Aunty Edith is an adult and she can damn well get over it. No-one owes anyone else touching. I’ve had nieces and nephews refuse to hug me. Why should I care? There are plenty of other ways to show love…

A Bryan Goldberg machine is a device designed to perform a simple task incorrectly.

Please understand that all antibiotics (and all medications) have risks and benefits, but don’t imply that “if your doc is handing out cipro for a UTI, at this point they should know better.” You also need to know the local drug resistance profile to know what you should be prescribing. Where I work, E. coli (the…

Try also the BBC series “A stitch in time”. The presenter analyses an historical portrait within the context of the time, and her team of tailors/dressmakers recreates the garment to fit her, so that she can reflect on what it was like to actually wear the garment

You were happier when we were glorifying unrealistically masculine white male ideals?

hasn’t her shtick always been “women be crazy”?
