He’s made my skin crawl from the moment he appears on the screen. Even photos of him used to make me uncomfortable.

you clearly know nothing of hoda!

I wouldn’t be surprised if part of the Reckoning is realizing that there was a lot of male deadweight sitting around. I think there was passion for the work of a few of these men, like Louis C.K., but I really don’t think that many people were all that enthused about Matt Lauer. Harvey Weinstein has been involved with…

Sooooo, they paid many, many millions trying to keep (and shield) a man who kept them from rising in the ratings. Y’okay.

Note to self as someone who reads scientific journals for work: Apparently, the BMJ is publishing crap now.

Considering how many doctors don’t believe that PMS is real or who only recently accepted that women even have heart attacks or who readily prescribe pain killers to white men but not women or minorities, I’m going with the diagnosis of headuphisassitis for Kyle Sue.

Yeah, how do you “take off” when you are a stay-at-home mom? Or when you do shift work where taking time off = less money? Or when you work in the service industry and you need a doctor’s note to not be fired but your doctor won’t even see you for something like the flu?

From the report:

Oh, yes, you did! Did I accurately convey that I was agreeing with you?? Reading it back I am confused by my own statement because I apparently cannot English today. My bad.

All together now:

Yep, this is definitely research worth doing.

Or that men have the privilege of taking more time off from work.

“In an unscientific survey, men suffering from a flu reported taking more time off from work than women.”

I am a bit puzzled about his claim of testosterone being an immunosupresant - are there any studies to back that up? I was taught, long ago, that the reason women’s immune systems were stronger is that some of the genetic code for immune cells were on the X chromosome - of which women usually have 2, men 1 (exceptions…

1. The part of the flu that sucks and is painful IS THE FUCKING IMMUNE RESPONSE. It’s the fever. It’s the mucous. It’s the exhaustion from your immune system working so hard.

“Can we criticize you for not functioning well when you’re at 100 percent?”

This emerged from the same brand of science that came up with characterizations like the wily, intrepid sperm fertilizing the passive, hyperemotional egg.

Dear whiny man-flu doctor,  

This is the show we’re all at the edge of our seat watching today.

America, depending on how this turns out, you may just have to replace Alabama entirely with something more liberal and less filled with bigoted assholes.
