SO weird that our MRA friends aren’t here, sharing in our outrage over this clear instance of an adult woman teacher raping a male student and the public not treating it as seriously as they would a female student being raped by an adult male teacher...

Actually, if you read the whole piece, only 8 of the team's 46 members were even at the party (the others were away playing a game), the party wasn't an official team event, and the way they've been characterized by the administration isn't exactly reflective of the reality, which is much more complicated than "SPORTS…

Oh please, tell me more about the system I worked my way up through for a decade from host to server to manager, before becoming an employment lawyer. Tell me all about how the law fixes everything because everyone follows it and it's so cheap and easy to sue them if they don't. Please tell me; I need a good laugh…

That was the worst. I've never been to the US and even I know that a typical non-assholory tip would be around 20%. How can she pretend this is hard? Just multiply the total by 1.2 on your freaking phone, if math is SO HARD.

From her bio: "She runs, reads, and eats way too much and is passionate about humanism..."

The art of tipping is, for most people, really freaking annoying. How much is too much? How much is too little? Is this the only reason I had to learn how to calculate percentages in 5th grade?

Yess a million times this.. I hate when people act like they ARE the company they work for. It's like chill the fuck out, you're just their servant slave.

The twist is that the author of this e-mail was Tyler the entire time (spoiler alert).

Ugh, I hate the people who are just impossible to explain anything to. I had a conversation about pesto this week that went like this:

I'm with you on that. Amazing opening scene to that movie.

super under appreciated movie in my opinion.

A special shout-out to the Michael Mann-influenced The Way of the Gun by Christopher McQuarrie (screenwriter of The Usual Suspects and director of the upcoming Mission: Impossible 5). The obvious influence is in the tactical knowledge, how the characters do not waste bullets and use cover properly. The entire film is…

How would Google know how big my penis is?

There are people who think masturbation in a relationship constitutes cheating. Most of us refer to those people as "complete fucking lunatics."

Well...I meant "classical music" in the general Western Art Music sense. I'm with you about Aida, I don't care for it, and to be honest, I'm not a big follower of grand opera either. My platonic ideal of WAM is Bach and Webern.

I'll give this to you with as much pertinent information as possible because I work full time in the opera industry:

The fact that legislators listen to privileged college kids but the bigger problem of rape generally gets less attention is an example of privilege in action.

Yeah, I agree. The reality is that feminists - and all activists - can only tackle so many issues at a time. Focusing on college rape, when the intersection of poverty and sexual abuse, for women, children, LGBT folks, and of course minorities, is where so much more of the suffering is happening, leaves a bit of an…

But according to the recently-released DOJ stats, college-age women are less likely to be raped on campus than off. Women are actually safer on college campuses. So shouldn't resources be spent to prevent rapes off campus, or everywhere, rather than on college campuses? Focusing on college rapes seems presumptively…
