It was never simple. Have you ever seen anti-suffrage posters? Even when all women were asking for was the right to vote, they were portrayed as man-hating harpies.

...what is the opposite of uppity? Down...downedy?

Yes, and London cab drivers literally have their brains enlarge to memorize routes. Brains are not static. Boys are better at “spatial relations” because we teach that shit to them since they are very young. There has been studies showing people literally treat their infants differently based on sex. Sorry, but most…

As a feminist who hasn’t always identified that way, I don’t think you’re being completely fair here. To people who are “against feminism,” it is not simply a matter of equal rights; it involves specific policy positions on topics like abortion and the prevalence of rape.

Oh, no. He plays a British jewel thief, confidence man, possible British Secret Service agent, and all-around rake named Pierre Desperaux. Quite droll, and a highlight in a comedy that was already very funny.

WTF? How about we not devolve into a FB comments section irl.

Anthropology is not for the weak!!

I was raised Mormon, in a convert family by a single mother. It was honestly a decent upbringing all told; my mom wasn’t big on the traditional gender roles thing for obvious reasons, but it could be stifling. Even if you aren’t proselytizing to these kids, it really does make a difference to see a person outside of…

Long term ethnograph use can be draining. Add in a culture that is antithetical to your own and it becomes even more so. Try and remember to avoid ethnocentric judgements and observe through as unbiased a lens as possible. (Easier said than done I know.)

I had such a hard time once I got to season 9. I missed Mulder and didn’t want the show to end.

Lol. What? Man, people are weird.

Losing my shit is what I did one day. I had too much wine with dinner and just snapped. It was one of those things where the tension at the table was really thick for no good reason except everyone was being an a-hole. I won’t go into details, but it was bad. I looked around the table, and said “Fuck this.” Then I…

And it’s like they all find their own way to be mean. MIL with her religious comments, FIL with his nastiness towards my health issues, BIL treating us like we are a charity case (we are quite well off, but they are high earning DINKs so they think we are paupers), his wife talking to me like I’m five - when she…

Her eyes are so intense and beautiful, and her little nose is so cute and pink.

Wasn’t here last week because I was with my in-laws. 15 years and these visits never get easier. I feel like I’m back in middle school, surrounded by mean people who hate me. Now it’s even worse because MIL has found Jesus and thinks we all should too. Aaahh.

I’ve bought a few different ones, because I wear little to no makeup, and I hate washing my face in the sink at night. I use Blum’s Exfoliating towelettes when my skin is especially oily or dirty. I picked up Yes to Blueberry Towelettes, but they’re too moisturizing for my skin. I just got some clay infused towelettes…

My secret evil theory is that these stories are written, authorized and/or edited by men who are sympathetic to the rapists because they engaged in similar behavior once-upon-a-time and want to humanize someone they relate to. Like, a fifty year old editor sees this kid getting what he deserves and is like, “Well,…

Sad to say but I think the reason Johsson didn't just walk on and ignore the rape is that he is a foreign student from Sweden. They don't have the same fucked up rape culture.

“Suddenly, someone caught him in the act of raping an unconscious woman.”

I want to buy Peter Jonsson and that other student some mozzarella sticks. Good for them for doing the right thing and intervening.
