Every time a member at my church goes in for surgery or a medical treatment, the first thing we do is pray for the hands of the doctor, nurses and medical staff. Miracles are worked through their hands, denying the miraculousness of modern medicine is ludacris.

People, please start believing that health care IS the miracle God sent you.

I’m glad she included the bit about the dude apologizing, and that it didn’t actually make her feel better. This is a whole part of it. “Hey, sorry I sent you a dickpic/called you a slut/grabbed your tits/sent you that explicit email. I don’t know what I was thinking.” “Well, this doesn’t actually make me feel better…

Jerry is no Colin.

I will not contain myself, Kelly.

Why do you keep focusing on this particular work example? It’s like it’s happened in real life to you and you are desperate to get validation in some way that you aren’t a creeper.

If you’re incapable of telling if a woman is interested in you before you ask her out, then you either haven’t spent any time at all getting to know her or you’re so socially inept you shouldn’t ask anyone to date you until you figure it out. Contrary to popular belief, women are not aliens from another planet that…

Planned Parenthood - the name says it all. If you PLAN your parenthood you will have a smaller change of an UNPLANNED parenthood.

No one’s making you ask her out. Pay attention to how she reacts to you. If she stares at her shoes and gives one-word answers when you talk to her, and you ask her out anyway, that’s on you, pal. But chances are if she actually seems interested in talking to you, she won’t be offended if you ask her to grab a beer…

Not that hard.

Is any romantic workplace relationship wrong and if not, who is supposed to take the first step and how?

Compliment. COMPLIMENT. Time to whip out, once again, the hard and fast rule for guys to follow: IF YOU WOULDN’T DO IT TO A MAN DON’T DO IT TO A WOMAN.

Once when I was in my late 20s, a guy was so scary and persistent, I had to finally tell him my husband was a two-time Purple Heart decorated veteran highly trained in hand to hand combat and in the men’s room at this moment (all true, except he was at home). The guy himself was a vet, and he IMMEDIATELY stopped…

Yes, that kind of thing is just a shining example of how women are never really considered people to some men.

Added to that is that you can’t transfer your project, so anyone who changes labs is essentially starting their PhD work from scratch.

Holy shit. I understand 100% why you didn’t call the police, but that was completely an illegal act of assault and for HR to not doing anything about it was fucking shameful.

Spilling feelings is the Nice Guy version of an unsolicited dick pic.

Yeah as I mentioned above, I know women in SO MANY different industries who left because of sexual harassment. I know we’re talking about STEM here, because people are always so curious as to why more women aren’t in STEM (and it’s wonderful to have the some workable data here), but man it’s just so hard to get…

That sounds exhausting. Why do men get to spill their feelings all over women? It's work. Let it just be work.
