I read the Dallas Morning News piece this morning. The ‘explanatory note’ on dropping Helen Keller was a boiled down explanation that social activism, no matter how just or peacefully it is conducted, is not an example of citizenship, because the only examples of citizenship that should be upheld are those of law…

So I’m taking a psych class on personality this semester and we just covered Freud. There’s some sweetly adorable ‘seniors’ (they’re 22) in my class and afterwards we were chatting about how Freudian theories on driving factors work because they’re logical and his bullshit on penis theory is bullshit because he was a…

I do not understand the Republicans who are resigning, claim to hate trump and yet remain all talk and no action. What do you have to lose! 

Update 9/16: A “lawyer close to the White House” tells Politico that there will be no withdrawing Kavanaugh’s nomination. “If anything, it’s the opposite,” he says. “If somebody can be brought down by accusations like this, then you, me, every man certainly should be worried. We can all be accused of something.”

The fact that the GOP immediately had a list of 65 women who spoke of what an angel he was in high school (despite the fact he went to an all-boys private school) is suspicious as hell.

Women have regularly been written out of history, as well as minorities, to promote a powerful white male agenda. And I am sorry but Hillary Clinton is extremely important to the barriers she has broken. Someone will get to be female President because she broke through those barriers. After Hillary, I started to see…

This is far from the first time that Texas’s Board of Education has weakened the history curriculum and imposed slanted and inaccurate perspectives. There’s a result beyond the (obvious) intended dumbing down oof the electorate and poorer next generation workforce:

It appears Clinton didn’t quite crack the rubric’s questions, which included items like, “Did the person trigger a watershed change,”

There is also the fact that, statistically speaking, a man is more likely to commit and rape and get away with it (avoiding both prosecution and jail time) than he is to ever be false accused.

Like a lot of academic women, she seems to have dual names/identities. She goes by Dr. Blasey in her professional life and uses Ms./ Mrs. Ford personally. No idea what her legal name is...You aren’t going to change your name professionally after getting a PhD and publishing papers!. I agree that I would prefer the…

Yeah at least it should be Dr Ford.

I’m so tired of competent women being consigned to retirement due to age - as if we only hold up funny older women but not the ones who have just been doing the work for decades. Seriously, the anti-female ageism really pisses me off.

Thank you for saying everything I’m always thinking when people start complaining about Feinstein’s age.

“If somebody can be brought down by accusations like this, then you, me, every man certainly should be worried. We can all be accused of something.”

Not attempting to strain at a gnat in light of these allegations (which I believe), but time and again, I am seeing this woman labeled “Mrs. Ford,” when, in fact, she is an effing Ph.D. Identifying her as a wife, and by her husband’s name, seems an ironic diminishment, especially under these circumstances.

Cool, so you are happy with one of the two first California female senators (the other one is Barbara Boxer) retiring because of age while other male Senate fossils carry on? She has decades of connections and institutional knowledge. She has been an advocate of womens’ right since before most Jezzies were born. She…

How many more women are out there with similar stories? There’s never just one. Men who will do this once without consequences will always do it again.

Your first reaction to this new information detailing the horrific sexual assault accusations against a potential Supreme Court Justice is a political advertisement? Yeah, #metoo. As soon as I heard that there is credible evidence that supports this professor’s allegations, I thought to myself “Welp, time to start…

He did this once, he has done it multiple times. There should be a formula for sexual harassment, just multiple it by 10.

While I commend her for her bravery in coming forward, I am so angry that she was being accosted at home & work and had no option but to come forward. Victims should come forward on their terms, not others’.
