I remember as a kid reading Little House on the Prairie, and the Ingallses kept moving around all over the place because Pa had "an itchy foot" or something. So essentially, there was no reason except that he just felt like it and his family had to go along with it. Even as a kid, I thought that was wasteful and…

"Women did not work due to the economics of the time. That is the history to which I refer"

"It is not a cultural aversion or preference for some jobs being male or female. They just end up this way." Except for when it is cultural aversion, such as earlier in your post when you said, "I think the doctor thing is a result of history more than anything else".

"lol I bet u studied peace studies and took 7 years to do it bc u disagreed with me"

"One of the paradoxes of egalitarian societies is that sex-gaps in careers expand, not shrink….Very soon they [females] will also be more likely to be doctors."

I was a math major for a little while and my upper-division math classes were absolutely full of bros—bros in the sense of if it were 1998 they'd be the guys who'd wear those puka shell necklaces. It was a little weird. They weren't bad dudes, though. And you know how every math class has at least one guy who wants…

"de-emphasize empathy"

As for hotel maids, I had a friend who legitimately didn't know you were supposed to tip them, or that a tip would be accepted (I don't think she had/grew up with a whole lot of money). It's kind of an unusual tipping situation if you think about it. Like, usually you tip someone on top of the money you're already…

I usually cry after I exercise. Not sure why.

My mom once went to a chiropractor for back problems (relating to wearing high heels all the time). She woke up the next morning and was physically unable to get out of bed.

I frankly didn't watch the last season. It got exhausting a long time ago. The most recent episode I've seen was probably….from like 15/16? And I only regularly watched up until season 9/10 or so. Maybe you think that invalidates my opinion, but in that case I'd like to point out that you brought up a gay friendly…

I used to have Windows 8. I have deluded myself into believing I like Windows 10 because I know how much worse it can get.

The side of conservatism, generally.

A Million Little Fibers is the worst thing I've ever seen. It's a violation of the Geneva convention.

It's always bothered me when South Park was too cowardly to stand by its convictions. Their claims to "skewer all sides equally" fell flat when there was always one side that they obviously agreed with and barely poked at all.

OMG. The porn poem in this tweet:

I don't think Black Panther is a good point of comparison here because it, itself, is a fairly novel setting. I can't really think of another action movie that's set in a shining, futuristic African city.

You make a compelling argument. I think the Star Wars Holiday Special might be a legitimate contender for the Holy Grail of pop culture. Especially the part where looking at it makes your face melt off.

So I told myself I wouldn't do this. I told myself I'd stop at season 7 at the very latest, but I didn't.

Do you guys remember the fucking reference to Ranger Rick in Avatar?
