As someone who grew up on blues guitar from musicians of several generations, I was always hungry to see more female talent — not just backup singers. My dad took me to a Bonnie Raitt concern when I was 12 and I became obsessed with her. Last year I attended a concert by a regionally-famous male blues musician who…

Thanks for this. While I know your suggestion is a worthwhile “by the books” approach, unfortunately it is often not executed in the ideal way. Case in point: We got a new female faculty member in my department several years ago who had a very public case of sexual harassment in another department at our same…

Exactly. I reported CONSISTENT sexual harassment by a faculty member that went on for FIVE YEARS. I told my direct supervisor, my department chair, AND went to University HR. Nothing was done. During my 3rd round of complaints to the dept. chair, he said “well, maybe he is just awkward and doesn’t mean any harm.” The…

This has me shaking even reading it. How terrifying to be trapped in a public space, unsure of what is going to happen next, unsure of potentially “making it worse” by telling the guy off.

As someone who is an over-tipper, and just starting using Uber about the holidays and thought, “oh that’s so nice, the price includes tip!”, I now feel like an uneducated asshole who is trying to look up every ride I’ve taken so I can tip my driver. Thanks for the enlightenment on this.

This had me laughing so much I had to try it.

Here is a great artist who has been working in the movement a long time. She’s got shirts, posters (beautiful, very flammable, I have EIGHT of them), and even CARDS to send all your friends and fam.

Former Hawkeye here! Bought a 3 BR 2 bath house with 3 car garage, deck, patio, fenced in yard, in cute tree-lined neighborhood within 10 minutes of work for $100k!!!!! Our town is called “micro-urban” because city-folk would call it “rural” but rural folk think it’s the big city. Love living the affordable Midwest…

OMG the ringtone for his mom’s calls! BAHAHAHAH.

Mr. Bassy and I were watching Fallon last night, and the second that song started he stood up, threw his arms out to the side and yelled, “EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!” It was only me, the dog, and the cat in the room. After it was over, Mr. Bassy’s dad called me and said, “If Mr. Bassy is at work, you better save what…

Bieber song is dumb < Kids are fucking awesome dancers.

Thanks for sharing! So Berks can call people out but can’t take it vice versa? Part of feminism is being able to hold ourselves and each other accountable for doublespeak.

Good for her. I’ve loved Brie since United States of Tara.

Exactly. I also want to know where these sweatshirts are made. If in any country that utilizes sweatshop labor, then everyone needs to STFU about their sweatshirt feminism.

Are the scary parts rooms depicting life with President Trump, life with overturned Roe v. Wade, life in 1910? Because that’s all fucking scary!

As a former employee of this health provider and others, I can say that the stress and anxiety of daily work has a palpable impact— not only on the worker, but their family and friends. Once, when I arrived at work to find a bullet hole in my office window, I was so pissed that I took a photo and posted it on social…

Just ordered copies of this book for every child I know. Happy Holidays!

“demonizing a messenger because they don’t agree with the message.”

Oh, like how CMP recorded and edited private conversations among abortion providers to demonize how they talk about totally safe and legal procedures?

Or is she saying that we shouldn’t “demonize a messenger” that murdered 3 people? Not sure about…

Read the article you link. It’s from a month ago — a different incident. Please don’t post alarmist articles that will cause panic.

Admitting privileges for abortion providers is a messed up concept, because usually doctors need to agree that they admit X number of patients a year. Since the complication rates for abortions are SO LOW, most providers don’t qualify. So, it’s like we’re punishing abortion providers for, um, helping women safely and…
