Omf, yes I’m in a group right now with a man and 4 women. The man hasn’t done 1 thing; his job is to find grants for us. Actually let me be fair: he’s emailed a link to a page with a list of grants that we don’t qualify for or are out of date. Naturally, he can’t stop bragging about how smart he is yet he can’t write…

I’m actively working to not raise my son this way, and it’s a struggle for him because now, at 7, so many boys and girls are acculturated into gender normatives that he’s really constantly explaining how yes, girls are awesome and can do awesome things just like boys (he likes to play female characters in games, for…

Sometimes it’s not just “because you are female” but “because I am attracted to you and intimidated by the idea that you might be smarter/more capable/more successful than I am.”

Same with cooking competitions on the Food Network. Any time I watch Chopped I can pretty much guarantee that all the women will not win, even when their dishes sound better, look better, and the guys make big mistakes like undercooking the chicken. I really want to see a “blind” version of chopped where the judge has…

They don’t control sex. They control access to their own fucking bodies, just as men do for their own fucking bodies.

Also ‘White dudes assume everyone else got there via political correctness, whereas they are there on merit’.

I’m at the same sort of institution. Last semester I had one of those floppy-haired dudes in my class. He dominated every conversation. What’s worse, it was patently clear that while this student was a bright kid, he never prepared (ie: did the reading or the homework). So all he ever contributed was really…

Old men. Ugh they suck. “You’re too pretty to be a lawyer” is code for “shouldn’t you have just married a rich person and not be bothering me with your ‘words’ and your ‘legal analysis’? My wrinkly old penis is too distractable”

Grrrrr. This happens so often. I was always underestimated in school, and some of my male classmate’s comments suggested a sick entitlement over getting good grades at my expense. Like “how could you pull this off?” as if their dicks somehow gave them a cerebral advantage. And no, it doesn’t end in the work place.

I think you’re right on here. I’m a comedian and in that field I think one of the biggest things women are robbed of is the freedom to be mediocre. It seems like mediocre male comedians are thought of as “promising” or “up-and-comers” and given the freedom to grow, to actually see if they have what it takes. It feels…

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