All women in Tech can tell you about meetings that they were not invited to, completed assignments that they did not receive credit for, plum assignments given to less deserving male colleagues, SUPER condescension from said male colleagues, in addition to having any initiative squashed by said male colleagues that

Yeah, I mean, what the fuck is this shit? I feel like I might be disproportionately angry about this, but it's an attitude I've encountered a few too many times. NO ONE is obligated to perform any sex act they don't enjoy, or just don't feel like doing, or what have you. And there are plenty of men who don't give a

Right? 'Oh no guys! I looked at the world's blowjob inventory and there are missing blowjobs! We counted them all! A few are missing. Why isn't this cat lady coming up with the missing blowjobs?!"

I just sneezed and got a fun panty favor

Grand romantic gesture? I bet in six months, this dude stops walking out of the room to fart.

Unless Heath Ledger's the one doing it, I want nothing to do with this.

This isn't anything new. Megyn Kelly has always been very aware and vocal about the discrimination she personally experiences, she just hasn't yet demonstrated the ability to expand that awareness to other people who experience other forms of discrimination. For example, a few years back, she smacked down a man who

I agree that it's really hard to determine someone's intent based solely on an out-of-focus phone video, but even if she was trying to block him, his actions are the extremely violent over-reaction of a dangerously entitled person.

The way the video is shot, it seems like that's her reaction after he initially ran into her. I.e., he ran into her (perhaps inadvertently) while charging toward whoever made him mad, and she pushed back. I'm guessing he didn't even notice her until she pushed back, which is why he's claiming that she was the

Reminder: Jeff Roorda was a dirty cop and was fired for making a false statement against a suspect in 1997 and his own police chief in 2001.

Yes. You solve a lack of surveillance problem with surveillance. You can't solve an institutional power-abuse problem with surveillance. You can't solve a racialized problem with a race-neutral solution.

They find each other because there are lots of them, and they identify each other by saying disgusting things when in an all-male group. Not enough men have the spine to register their disgust by telling the men around them how wrong they are, and too many think it's a guy thing that guys do when they're being guys

RIGHT! I have a kid, he is everything I wake up for, but years of not having a kid taught me that NOBODY ELSE GIVES A FUCK.

'Innocent until proven guilty' is a standard that exists specifically for and within the judicial system. Yes, it's true that we shouldn't just believe everything we read without question, but that doesn't mean withholding all judgement until a uniquely judicial standard is satisfied is appropriate either.

Meeeeeeeehh it doesn't really work that way. If the State doesn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that someone commits a crime, he or she shouldn't be convicted, and thus shouldn't be in prison at all. There's really no middle ground in that regard. It's a zero sum game. There's no such thing as a consolation prize

So over the way this is being portrayed nationally.

I'll bet she felt safer with that gun in her purse, too.

Every time I read an article explaining how white people who think they are helping really aren't... this is the response from so many white people. "I don't know what to do then, maybe I should just do nothing?" If we stay inactive with the excuse of "not accidentally making things worse," we're letting the racist

There is some discussion of what might be classified as mature themes (sex etc.) but it's not gratuitous or extensive. When I was 12 I would have been totally fine with that, but it depends on the kid.
