I work in the legal industry, and when I asked for a promotion/raise that I believed I’d earned (based on time served, the importance of the case I was on, the amount of overtime and travel I’d put in, and glowing reviews of my work). From the boss who told me that yes, my work product was OBJECTIVELY BETTER than male…

Lynching had more to do with race than with “protecting women”—look at anti-trans bathroom laws, for example. The same people crowing about how they want to “save women and children” don’t seem to give any shits about sexual assault victims. It’s about bullying in (white) women’s names, not about “protecting” women.

Kara how come these Shade Court numbers are still “2015JZ” when these cases are new in 2016?

Fuck. That. I went to U of C. My dept was pretty damn misogynistic, and I doubt it’s improved since I left.

SAME.

Hell, when I was a high school freshman (14 yo) I thought junior high kids (12-13) were way too young. I had zero interest in high school-age guys when I started college, and really no interest in college-age kids after I graduated. You’re at different life and developmental stages, ffs.

I hate it when people say “you’re not paying for content” when you sit through ads. That is literally what the ads are for! You are allowing yourself to be the product (an audience for advertisers). That is how you are compensating someone without handing them money.

Joining to say SAME. My 3rd grade teacher was awful. I went from a student who LOVED going to school to pretending to be sick so I wouldn’t have to go. She wasn’t the ONLY reason, but she was a huge contributing factor to that. My parents figured out what I was doing, and why, and were horrified. My school wouldn’t…

Ugh. Teachers have been doing shit like this forever. Looking back NOW, I realize my 3rd grade teacher was an abusive piece of shit. Would throw people’s papers in the trash in front of everyone if they forgot to put their name on the top, would “run out of time” for book reports (our grade had a reading competition)…

Not to mention that “documenting your injuries” is an hours-long, invasive, and uncomfortable process, especially since you’ve just suffered trauma to those parts of your body. I don’t blame anyone who doesn’t want to put themselves through that, and applaud the ones who do. There is literally no one that would go…

So rape juries are entirely composed of people who don’t know that rape is a thing? What the actual fuck?!

looking at the conduct and the situation from the woman’s perspective will probably (for a large portion of guys) make them realize that they have sexually pressured someone, and that’s too uncomfortable because they think of themselves as GOOD guys.

Part of the problem is that quite often rape isn’t seen as a violent crime. That was certainly true in this case: apparently vaginal abrasions and a scene so disturbing that one of the cyclists that found Turner and his victim could barely talk about what he saw because he was crying too hard. Yet Turner, who was…

Because “No One’s Sky” was somehow more difficult to write?? It would be gender-neutral and play on the “colloquialism” just as well.

“Wuthering Heights” by Kate Bush.

It’s not a myth. Many do. Likewise, many thin people are sedentary and eat garbage, but aren’t on the receiving end of stigmatization because their body type appears to be socially “acceptable”.

...I don’t follow your logic—how have other people’s life choices (which as far as I can tell, generally don’t affect either you or me) ‘ruined’ your life? You say you wanted to marry the love of your life (did they want to marry you too?) and go to the right schools (how is this related to your sex life, or anyone…

You are perpetuating a myth that fat bodies are fat because of junk food and lack of activity. Many fat people eat healthy, many fat people exercise. Some fat people are fat because of medical conditions over which they have no more control than you have over your height, and YOU CAN’T TELL WHICH ONES THEY ARE BY…

I agree; likewise, many people don’t have control over where their body’s set-point is in terms of weight, or in fat distribution. Some people have relatively even distribution, on others, it’s all on the waist or hips or somewhere else.
