Seriously! I was reading like “okay so some run of the mill tech douche is clueless and lame” and came across that and was like WELL SIR YOU CAN JUST GO RIGHT AHEAD AND CHOKE ON SATAN’S PUTRID DICK

I know!!!!!!!!! I mean, does this guy even hear himself? If your argument would work as dialogue for a villain in a Dickens story, you may need to reevaluate your life.

The idea that successfully holding down a job and making rent entitles you to complete freedom from perceiving the unhappiness of others is so breathtakingly narcissistic.

For real. My jaw dropped reading that line. What a fucking clueless douche of the highest degree.

“I shouldn’t have to see the pain, struggle, and despair of homeless people to and from my way to work every day.”

Here’s the thing: I teach at a university and have had transgender students in my classes. If a student is receiving hormone therapy and has for some time, it is very, very likely that that student can “pass” (which is an imperfect term, but you get what I mean) for the gender they’re living as. I would never have

One room for boys! One room for girls! Intersex people get to shit in a cupboard!

These assholes’ heads would explode if they realized that they want to make it a law that this man MUST use the women’s room:

I think if we destigmatize nudity kids will have more frank discussions about sex and I think it would greatly reduce rape culture. Maybe I’m being overly hopeful but I feel like my parents way with talking about sex and treating nudity help me know my own personal boundaries a lot sooner than my friends who ended up

“Do you feel it appropriate for a 13-year-old girl to be exposed to the anatomy of a boy?”

Oh, yeah. Same with books. I frequent GoodReads and books with female protags are often pinkified and looked down on. It’s irritating. I’ll see some mediocre book by a man score 4 stars and tons of glowing reviews, while a much better fantasy by a woman is downvoted and overly criticized. People reach when they review

it can feel like if a guy screws up, he just made a mistake. If a woman does, it’s because women shouldn’t be scientists.

If you are a woman it’s part of your typically handed out advice no matter what you’re doing; grocery shopping, moot court, awaiting surgery, eighth month of pregnancy, deworming the dog....

i’m sure these aren’t the same guys who talk over female colleagues 5 years later.

100% sure that this kind of bias will not stop dudes from letting the woman in their study groups do all of the work.

This applies 1000% in law school. I even got what we call “book awards” for having the highest grade in both of our writing classes, and I was still mansplained to every time we had a study group.

Obviously the statement is: I have been drunk for a very long time.

I..... thought it was Nicole Richie at a healthier weight and in a wig.

But that may or may not have anything to do with being married and is only one tiny part of how military life might affect the family life of both men and women. The quote makes it sound as if being married or having a family is purely a woman’s issue and that’s odd to me. Men have marriages. Men have families. Men

Obviously the point is to get them as close to naked as possible. It’s not like this has to do with swimming.
