She took a DJ who groped her in public and denied it (and his GF who was a witness also denied it) to court and won $1. As much Swift hate as there is, she did a good thing by bringing a sexual harasser to justice for a non-sum of money to show that she wasn’t doing it for wealth or fame, she was doing it because she…

I loved that she mentioned growing up in foster care several times, thanked anyone who paid taxes between 1990 and 1999 in the opening monologue (brilliant), and thanked her social worker at the end of the show. Foster kids represent!

I used to teach middle and high schoolers, now I teach college students. My classes are usually skewed toward more women so I do not have the issue of women speaking up. What I do find, however, is a tendency for women to say things like “This is problem wrong, but...” or “Sorry” before they make their point or answer…

Yeah I clicked on the article about LFO because I was a teen during their peak years. Didn’t know that 1/3 of the group has already died of cancer. Wondering what are the odds 2 out of 3 of them would be impacted by cancer at such young ages?

I taught large lectures at an R1 for almost 10 years and was never instructed nor aware of how to restrict 300+ person halls to students only. Do you make them show ID to enter the room? Our classes were 50 minutes, that would have been impossible to do 3x/week for 16 weeks...

As a professor who taught large lecture sections for the better part of a decade, even if we wanted to take it seriously and a report was filed, there’s not much anyone can do. I found a note once with SEE YOU AT HOME YOU FUCKING CUNT scrawled so hard it ripped the paper. Took it to my Dept Chair and she was like “OMG…

Just wanted to say, as a professor who taught 300-600 person lecture sections for years and found creepy notes often, this is legit the stuff of real life nightmares. Would be a great pilot for a horror film, you should work on that! :)

I’ll ask my hispanic immigrant parents if they agree!

Thank you for your thesis on what was originally a 3 sentence post from me that you admittedly read way more into than necessary. Hope you’re having a great day!

Why is everyone reading into the post that I was upset? The “Um thanks” comment was meant that, “DUH” most people have different perspectives? Who assumes spouses have the exact same opinions? I wasn’t upset, it was a “duh” moment. While I’m not talking about a racial issue, it is in reference to the Tamblyn/Cross…

Nah, but thanks for playing.

My partner’s boss told him recently “I like that you and Seabassy are two completely different people, you each have your own style and opinions.” Um, thanks bossman? This was after I told the boss to his face thatI didn’t like something their business was doing, from the perspective of a consumer of that business,…

The definition is from a horror cinema website. So I would think their definition takes precedent over yours as a consumer. You like ghost stories? Cool. But that doesn’t make only supernatural material horror.

I guess I didn’t see that one? I asked my spouse if he’s gotten to that episode yet (he watches while I read with headphones on, because he is physically unable to not finish a series he’s started). He said, “I have not seen that come to pass yet. FUCKKKKKKK!!!”

Definition of a horror film:

My spouse and I were discussing this. The rapist of the adult man and adolescent boy is the same person. And he’s evil. And gay. His evilness is because of his gay lust for the main man character, and when he was raping the adolescent he literally said, “Not what I expected but you’ll do.”

Not sure if it is considered a high profile show, but there is man/man rape in Outlander.

A joke referencing this exact thing was in the trailer. One mom is calling the rest of them crazy and “did your dad try to stop you from having sex on prom night?” and one of the dads says, “he was too busy high-fiving me!” So I think that the actual movie may surprise us and show those parents being put in their…

I grew up Catholic where all of my peers just had a ton of unsafe sex because if you’re safe about it, it means it was pre-meditated and therefore you’re a whore and a sinner and going to hell! I had sex on a bathroom floor with my boyfriend on prom night (we’d already been sexually active for a while), and while I…

Sex educator here. Cannot wait to watch and dissect this movie with my students!
