YES. Where the hell can I get that dress!?

Yeah, I thought it was a great concept, but I wasn't wild about the execution.

Heh, this is a good point.

I don't think this kind of thing is an attempt to erase past history of problematic literature and art. I think that it's a pretty common way for minorities to gain agency back. One of the ways of doing it is to choose famous works of art with problematic minority characters, make those characters the protagonist…

Loved what you said about how we gender knowledge sharing. We like it when women are eager to be taught by guys. We like it much less when men are eager about learning from a female expert.

Yeah, they give men the benefit of the doubt (assume smart unless proven otherwise), but not to women (assume dumb unless proven otherwise). I'm smart enough to handle it, but god damn it's exhausting.

Everything you just wrote is like a look inside my head. This is exactly how I feel.

Yeah. I keep losing my temper about it, but all my designs are called out and challenged WAY more than my male coworkers, even when my male coworkers have shit designs.

This doesn't mean that men don't have their doubts, too, it's just that those doubts are more likely individual than social.

I took this class on how to act for women in high powered positions. One of the exercises she had us do was answer total nonsense questions as if we were a hired public speaker.

Yep. Every time I mess up, I'm terrified that some dumbass just looked at me and took that failure as conclusive proof that women just aren't suited to be in computer science.

To me they look like complete morons when they speak up in class but they do not care they just want to show off. I think females buy into that act and think that their male peers are smarter than they are. I see no difference in the grades and some times even females are slightly better but they have the wrong…

I'm a woman in a STEM field and I absolutely agree with you.

Female fashion is more revealing and there's more ways to mess up. Plus, if a woman messes up and shows too much skin, people will assume it was intentional and treat her with less respect.

Yeah, you're not really used to having all these goodies so it never occurs to you to wonder about these things. I had a skirt that I never realized was see-through until my dad was shocked and told me to change. I also tried wearing a shirt as a dress once and didn't realize that it would hike up as I walked. Kind…

I beg to differ. More please!

This song sucks, but the music video is amazing. Hope this starts a trend.

No love for Easy A? Or The Craft?

Sad because this is how they speak when they think they're anonymous. I just keep thinking about how many people I encounter in my daily life who think like this but just aren't dumb enough to say it out loud.

I think the worst of it is that they all automatically take the guy's side of things, like they identify more with a predator and abusive dick than with the person telling the story. Very sad.
