How utterly horrifying. I had no idea. 😔

Huh. That’s sounds more like a problem with how guys are treated. I really do generally agree that being nicer is smarter, to a point, obviously. But wow. I... feel like much less of an ass now.

I knew it was sexist when I shared it with a mixed gender group of colleagues and before I could even share my suspicions, all unanimously agreed that a male student would never have received the same criticism.

Gah, why do you have to be so sour? Fresh/homemade bone broth/ bone stock is good, and good for you, and has been almost completely replaced by decidedly inferior bouillon cubes and boxed stuff. There's really no need to throw a hissy fit because some people are selling it for ridiculous prices and other people are…

I agree, and unfortunately, now that the discussion had begun, all we can do is point out how stupid and wrong it is that it began in the first place.

Ban them from public schools, with a tax benifit to private schools who also ban them, and put a tax on not being vaccinated, obviously.

Really, the fact that there even needs to be a discussion is the problem. If someone used a "socially appropriate" hook, like singing or dancing, no one would bat an eye, but because some parts of society lay claim to women's bodies (in the form of dictating how a woman's body can and cannot be dressed, even after…

Yay! I do it right!

Ugg, welcome to my life dealing with the sales department.

I think the caviate here is that woman are fairly exclusively protrayed as sexy super models, where as guys are (sometimes) protrayed in other ways. (There are lean, quick guys as well as hulking muscle...guys... I dunno. I like games with adorable and/or feminine main characters, so I am in favor of a game where you…

Supposedly turkey was just, so much better tasting than swan, that Europeans imported turkeys from the us so they'd never have to eat the lovely ornamental birds ever again.

That's because they still remember the days, buried deep in their genes, that they were dinosaurs. They remember, and they are waiting.

Ha, lol.

Ah, woops. Upon reflection, I was thinking of range for Mary Poppins (sorry), the range of the Sound of Music is a mezzo soprano range, which has enough over lap with the alto range that Gaga's is definitely within her comfort range.

Not to disparage her wonderful performance, but she actually didn't hit the same actual notes from the original- the song was played in a much lower key to better suit Lady Gaga's impressive alto rather than Julie's soprano.

Pretty sure if sex work was legal, there would be way less of this problem. Just saying.

Eh, everyone has their own comfort level, I just happen to think it might be rude. I'm not the rude police (oh, thank goodness there aren't actual rude police, just some people who think they are)

I would guess they're scared that if they asked to hang out with you, you'd say no.

Well, if they're shy guys, they're probably scared of you! :-)

Indeed, those are correct times for blocking, no contest. I was specifically referring to an instance where the inquiry about sex did happen without random pictures and was preceded by a friendly conversation.
