is it the angle in this photo? her legs and hips seem teeeeeny tiny. i keep getting distracted by the perspective effect.

You and the other feminists on this page are awesome for tackling this in the commentariat. I'm grateful someone did it, and it was brave and awesome of you all to wade into it knowing you faced a potential shitstorm. Thank you—seriously! Thank you. Way to represent!

Ugh. Just ugh.

I'm at Yale. I've seen this here. It is *everywhere* and I think the illustrious schools suppress these things the most, because they think they have so much to lose.

And it's the women who get blamed in situations where their reputation or career is sacrificed and the male academic's just keeps rolling forward.

I hear you. The case with the Egyptology department at Yale was complicated: they started sleeping together when she was an undergraduate, and she entered the grad program, finished in record time, and then became assistant professor. There were always rumors he was "helping" her. He has overseen all of her reviews…

I'm a grad student at Yale and I also fear retaliation. There is a lot of misogyny and unexamined sexism at work and I see female faculty getting ground down and exhausted because fighting it and managing self-preservation takes all their energy. It's systemic. Look at what happened with the Egyptology department. No…

there is no underwear where i am any more.

You win the internets today. :)

Or she is using her fame in the West to amplify the Othered voices of subalterns.

It looks like Hague is out of focus in the foreground so this is probably from the opening of the summit.

I wondered that too.

I would totes be Naya Rivera! She would do the Belle eye-roll great! Look at how good she is at the eye roll! NOOOOOOO to Lea Michelle.

Word. I would always stop watching after he turned human—although I would watch for the first initial shot of his face where his nose looks strange and that fascinated me.

You're right. Weird thing is, I somehow just thought House was way more obviously in fantasy land. There are rarely medical procedures except tests and it's always lupus until it isn't. ...But yeah, House is another—maybe the best—example of the "Assholes are Better Doctors" trope. You're spot on.

Ugh. That study about the effect of Grey's Anatomy is shocking and awful. And yet, you would hope the writers would see it and decide to change the way they present organ donation. To their credit, in the last season they've been much better about stating that organs are assigned via the UNOS list. It'd be interesting…

This suits her coloring so well. Pretty awesome!

I feel like the slit was unnecessary but everything else here was *awesome*

It's like the dressed rolled up because of static cling or something. NOOOOOOO!

This dress is fantastic, and although it looks great on her... who wouldn't it look great on? Is there an actress this wouldn't suit?
