Uh, you do. Plenty of people get paid to go to school, to go to lectures, to take courses and all that fun stuff that applies to their field of work. And many of them get raises along with it. So...that’s getting paid to keep up with your field. My boss at my retail job got paid mileage AND a bonus on top of that to…

I get three weeks off in the summer. So fuck off with this nonsense. 4 to 5 months a year? I work from the beginning of August until the second week of July, per my contract. I work late every day, from Monday to Thursday. I’m up at 5:30 am every morning and don’t get home until 5 pm four days a week. Seriously, fuck…

Teachers don’t get paid to keep up with whatever advancements that might be going on in their field of teaching. They have to pay to go to school, to drive to wherever, to buy supplies, buy their own tech required in their classrooms, etc. Their job is costing them tons of money.

Insurance is a joke. Employer heath…

We get paid for professional development. Public K-12 teachers generally don’t unless it’s inservice days.

We knew we weren’t going to be rich off teaching, but according to you, we should also have known that the paltry increases in pay would not have kept up with insurance and inflation for the last 20 years? We knew we weren’t going to be wealthy, but according to you, we should have known we would need an extra evening…

Hahaha.....4 to 5 months off? Oh, honey, I wish! I think you’re thinking of politicians!

I live in Arizona. Our teachers aren’t striking yet—but I will 100% support them if they do ... even though I’ll probably have to use sick time to stay home if my son can’t go to school. Will it be an inconvenience? Yes, but that’s the point.

Well, guess the kids are going to get hurt. You can’t leave teacher wages stagnant for 20 years then give tax cuts to billionaires then claim, “the selfish teachers are hurting our kids!” No, YOU are hurting the kids.

My “favorite” street harassment story is when I was walking my dog in a blizzard wearing a knee-length yellow boxy parka, snowboarding pants, a neck gaiter over my face, fleece hat, heavy gloves, and Sorel snowboots. Still got a “Hey baby!” from a car driving by. If you’re catcalling women in a blizzard, you have no…

She is so vile that TWO republicans voted against her confirmation!

I want to go Fred-and-George on her ass so much.

Yes, you should have done that.

I once got catcalled multiple times while I was shivering from a fever (even though it was like 80 degrees out), and on the verge of vomiting because I had a stomach virus and was trying to get home so I could throw up in a toilet instead of on the street. Maybe I should have just tried to throw up on the catcallers?

WHEN ARE MEN TOLD TO DRESS CONSERVATIVELY TO AVOID HARASSMENT AND ASSAULT? Your point would be understandable if harassment were distributed equally. Surprise, it’s not. Men don’t have to worry if they’re “showing too much skin” and women will verbally or physically assault them. We’re telling you to fucking knock it…

Yep. I’ve gotten catcalled when I’m working, which means cargo pants, hard hat, steel toed boots, and puffy hi-vis jacket. Presumably these idiots driving 30mph through an active work zone see the braid coming out of my hard hat, but still WTF? I swear, the next one is getting what ever is in my hand tossed at their…

Jesus.

To be fair, you have very nice feet.

I’ve been cat called while out running, so while looking as sweaty and gross as I can possibly look. How one person could even tell I was a woman from across the street I don’t know, with a tshirt, shorts, and my hair up under a baseball hat.

The other day, I saw a girl wearing jeans, sneakers, flannel shirt, and a baseball cap. She got catcalled twice in the couple of minutes I was walking behind her!

Dressing conservatively doesn’t help, I dress as a nun almost and I still receive lusty looks while I hear a man saying “I wonder what you’re hiding” or hear comments about my feet.
