It’s so he can squeeze out some bullshit gun-fondling “libertarian” turd on a thread to do with horrible violent men and the dangers generally of even having anything to do with men. He lives in some godforsaken wheatfield somewhere and passes for bright where he lives.

Fuck off again, asswipe.

Fuck off, asswipe.

I guess it’s a function of no AP history for this gal, but it’s too bad she doesn’t have a mirror handy. That’s the face of hundreds if not thousands of anti-Irish-immigration cartoons.

Please do your homework before you show up in a crowd of knowledgeable women and start telling them what is and isn’t a women’s issue. It isn’t our job to tutor you, and all the info you need is already online in lots of places.

And this, I am not kidding, is a major reason why I will not live with a man again. I don’t go out or get friendly with men who shoot. In a culture awash in guns, it’s very difficult for a man to resist the idea that he’d better have a gun. I don’t want a gun in the house; I sure as hell don’t want a man with a gun in…

Right, I forgot the part about the girlfriends who leave you after two months and you pretend not to notice.

I’d bet that you’ve never had $38K in your own name at one time. I’d also bet that you get help regularly from your parents and that you piss on them for it and tell people how stupid they are. I’d further bet that you regularly live in other people’s houses and/or apartments and try to make it seem to yourself as…

Oh, it’s usual. If someone tells you he teaches ethics, check for your wallet. And anything else you want to hang onto.

You bet your ass it is. What happens to the students of non-better supervisors? What happens to the staff and junior faculty who just have to live with the guy?

What an open, seeing eye looks like: MIT’s reaction to harassment claims against Walter Lewin.

You’d be surprised by how close this is to how things actually work. I take it you don’t work with government budgets. Here’s how things really work:

Um, I do. I’m a single mom and $38K is more than I make most years. If the taxpayers want to throw money away, they can at least throw a couple days’ worth in my direction, where I’m doing some actual work in raising a decent, well-educated human being. You know, doing that work Bernie says he cares so damn much…

No, but you can sure as hell lower the odds.

Just had the tour with my daughter. It’s fantastic, but I will say there’s something a little weirdly culty about it. Maybe it’s just the rah-school thing you get on any tour, I don’t know. Other than that it looks like a dream.

Look, I’m saying this as patiently as I can.

And I guarantee that Lee Kaplan isn’t from that area originally, and I’d be very, very surprised if this is the first girl he’s assaulted.

Really, just shut the fuck up unless you’re already in the middle of making actual social change happen. Supporting and helping to write legislation. Running or working with a men’s anti-violence group. Routinely calling out other guys, in public, for harassing women. Helping women move away from abusive spouses.…

Schurette, when my child was a baby she was exposed to measles. An older kid who hadn’t been vaccinated. That was over a decade ago, and I still haven’t forgotten the fear of those days.

Yeah, this is true when there’s a spectacular. When it’s just some chick trying to keep a few kids housed and together as a family, not so much. Try getting near the cracks for falling through, sometime, and you’ll find out what unicorns those helpers really are.

Tl;dr. Because I’m more than halfway through my statistical lifespan, have never touched a gun, have no need of one. And I don’t believe you need one either. I have been raped, I’ve been attacked in a parking lot, I’ve had my house broken into twice while at home. I’ve lived in terrible neighborhoods alone. And in…
