I got into a discussion with Sobek about this. He thinks it is okay if it is a yelled compliment like "nice hair" or something. I say yelling something from across the street is not okay. I say it might be okay, if it would be common to yell nice things at people of every gender. But since it is mostly men yelling at…

"Get killed or do what I say. I might also kill your children, you never know. Or break some bones." Hmm, yes, there is always a choice. Not.

Do not interpret things in what I have said that are not there. I get angry at movies. Very much even. They do affect me. There are movies that I absolutely cannot stand to watch (most romcoms make me puke). But that does not mean that I have to limit myself to only watch movies that pass the Bechdel. And some of…

I would agree with you, if that wound not be so demeaning. I feel defeminalised if you say stuff like that, and that means I need to do awfully girly things now to keep myself from getting a boner. BRB, gonna paint my nails in glitter and bake some cupcakes.

A good movie is still a good movie, even if it treats the women like trash. Getting the women right would simply make it an even better movie.

I have a small problem here. By making it a women's issue, it is belittling the cause. Because it gives the guys a cop out. "Oh, I am not interested in minimum wage, its just a women's issue, and I am a guy. " *sigh*

I would not put the two into the same category. Scalia is batshit crazy, delusional, and an asshole, while Rick Perry is sane, which makes it worse. He hates out of calculation.

The most common comment usually is "person has to leave the school, because it will confuse/hurt/damage the kids".
I have thought about it, and what I do not get is the way people decide what is more confusing or less confusing for a child.
How is "x had to leave, because we disagreed on his/her choices" "because x is…

Want some more? Read here. Older case, but stuff like this happens even in NZ.

While I agree on what you wrote about, I had a hard time reading your article. It was pretty off putting, and especially in the first few bits, I was unable to understand quickly what you were exactly complaining about. I actually had to take time, and read a few sentences aver and over again.
Maybe try for shorter,…

It is very interesting that failure or fear of being wrong is such a big thing. In science, being wrong is actually a good thing, if you are able to understand it and write it down. Hypothesis are build on what you know, then you test them...and if you are wrong, it is great, since others might have the exact same…

Oh, I forgot that nutrition science is a mix of nutrition, biochemistry, toxicology, medicine and physiology. However, other people with no idea what it was kept telling me it was a "cooking class masters". Which is why men would never enroll.

In my nutrition science course, we were 41 girls and three guys. My male Prof complained that he could only get girls to write their masters thesis for him.

Dad didn't do that, but my mom. She would praise my sister for her C's (she struggled in school), and I did not even get a "well done" for my regular A's. I was too good, it was normal to bring A's, so why bother with praise? Once I missed a test on purpose. Which got my mother paranoid about me doing drugs, and my…

I remember some thing like that. I am the clever person in my low income worker family, and when I turned 16 and wanted to get the necessary education to study chemistry, my mother was opposed to it. So were other people. I heard things like "women do not get jobs in chemistry, you will only end up being a teacher" so…

They didn't insult Macklemore...They insulted the guy as a cheap wannabe copy of Macklemore.

I just went into an pro choice rant on the book of selfies on Monday.
I think the whole anti-birth control thing in women is rooted in a mixture of "holier-than-thou", "lookatmeeeeeeiamoneoftheboyz" and fear of being branded a slut.
Saying that, I think I will write a list about my thoughts on contraception and…

What about on a sandwich? I have this awesome tuna and egg sandwich spread recipe...

Blood is not filled with bacteria, unless you have sepsis. HOWEVER, blood is filled with a crapload of yummy nutrients like sugar, amino acids, fats and small proteins. Imagine liquid, dark red stew. And like a stew, you should not leave it out in the open, in hot temperatures, without a lid, where everything that is…

I acknowledge your experiences.
However, not every person is like you, or me, or your "teachers". Teaching skepticism is the key, in my opinion. If every person would actively think about their daily habits, questioning them, and thinking about what to do to make it better, that is what I would like to see. This has…
