Gotdamn this is a good comment. If history serves, you have cut far too close to the nerve and folks are going to yell at you now.

They also feed into my, probably wrong, nagging feeling of “how can an old white cishet guy ACTUALLY care about the plight of LGBT+, women and PoC in our country and put that first?!”

“exactly where a “no war but the class war” ideology will get us.”

YES, this summarizes it very well - the BernieBros (who aren’t right wing trolls in disguise) are likely “not quite tea partiers” because they’re *just* smart enough to realize that would go against their economic interest.

Isn’t it amazing how the “I don’t see gender/color” people always think white males are super awesome and women/people of color are whiny losers who should shut up and realize that white men are the real victims?

Those jerkholes have so many statistical fallacies, obscure grassy knoll rationales and weird shit like “men always absorb all the danger even in equal positions” WTF?

It’s like STFU Mr. Sogyny, we get it, you’re a *patriarch zealot*.

It’s 100% this. They don’t like the idea that economic equality won’t instantly solve everything. Call them on it and they start sounding pretty conservative pretty quickly.

A female undergrad classmate of mine who went to Stanford Business School and now works in finance for a major non-profit took issue on Facebook with that graph (below) that’s showing Bernie’s proposed tax plan and explained why she didn’t think it was particularly tenable, even as someone who would likely vote for…

That’s delusional. And that’s exactly where a “no war but the class war” ideology will get us. Without explicitly working to challenge systemic sexism and racism economic equality alone is not a fix-all. So no wonder it feels like Bernie and Donald supporters both have a lot in common: white men who feel economically…

Yes, thank you. It’s basically enough to turn me off Sanders altogether. The constant misogyny from Sanders supporters is just too fucking much.

Yeah, I hear you. Yesterday, Bernie’s facebook page posted a status about the pay gap between men and women. So many bros came forward to say that it didn’t exist. I almost sobbed.

I have done Bernie Sanders the favor of hiding any Bernie Bros in my facebook or twitter so that I can make reasonable decisions about the election without feeling like I want to punch Bernie supporters* straight in the taint.

WORD. I love my husband and he’s mostly SUPER great, but if we both have hangovers (or are sick, or whatever), I’m the one simultaneously bathing the kid/vomiting in the toilet while he’s on the couch with the remote and a giant bottle of gatorade. Women get it done.

Women stay home after blizzard: “Well what do you expect? She’s a lady after all, you know how they are, she’d probably end up hysterical on the side of the road..”

And for most of existence, women haven’t had the privilege of not showing up. No matter how sick or busy, they couldn’t stop mothering. Women have been working around the clock, rain or snow or plague or shine, for millenia.

your name is amazing. my partner is a (white male) academic in a female-dominated field. He has always been aware of the fact that the students are always kinder to him in evaluations. He’s witnessed the results of new (female) colleagues receiving their evals and having been on committees with them (or co-taught…

Holy shit. That's so infuriating.

I’ve taught at an Ivy, at a private school, and now I’m at a public university, and it’s true of all of them everywhere. I love the ideas espoused in this recent article from the Washington Post but you’re so right, all too many students honestly think they are paying for a grade. The ones with real-deal intellectual…

I give my students a separate form to fill out about what assignments and readings they did or didn’t find useful, and what advice they would give to future students. But honestly, you can’t trust what they say. Half will say “too much group work” and the other half says “I wish there was more group work.” People…

This! I taught for 13 years and it was so clear that the female teachers we rated more on our empathy and mom-ness and the male teachers were rated more on charisma. Classroom discipline was almost never an issue for the guys, which left them so much more room to teach (were they inclined to do so). And lemme tell…

Reason 1 million why I don’t read my own student evaluations and never will.* And why the only person in my department who has ever suggested basing the merit-based pay component of our salary on teaching evaluations was male.** I don’t need to read a teaching evaluation to know that they think I’m a bitch because I…
