Olicity should be tied to an anchor and sent to the bottom of the ocean. The forced Olicity interactions are some of my least favorite on the show.

Barrowman replaced "dick" and "asshole" with "reformed playboy" and "failed businessman" ;)

"Shado is back? Shado? Shado?"

*waits for the inevitable argument about how maternity leave is discriminating against childless women*

In South Africa, where I live "race" is as you can imagine a rather hot topic. In the last few years there's been quite a lot of discussion on whether people of European descent here can call themselves African or even consider themselves natives, despite having lived here for multiple centuries. I was interviewed for…

Its ratings are solid, but they've declined significantly from earlier seasons (running 9-10M viewers/ep this year, vs. 13-16M in seasons 2 and 12-13M in season 3). It's being consistently beaten by Chicago Fire in its timeslot, for example. Ratings are solid enough for renewal, but it's no Big Bang Theory.

Not only that but except for the evil Mt Weather people all of the leaders are powerful women. We have Clarke and her mother and then all the grounder tribes which are all led by women.

An anti-vaxxer's ultimate goal is the same as any other parent's: the health of their child.

Okay, hands up. Who here honestly thought at this time last year that this "CW version of Lord of the Flies" was going to turn into one of the most awesome shows on the air now?

i also religiously wear a full face and i thought it was weird to encounter an article full of women who never wear it

Dear State of Arkansas: file child abuse charges against these scumbags posthaste, because isolating a child for hours on end IS abuse.

And as a female professor, I get at least one comment a semester during student evaluations about my breasts, hair, makeup or body. My male professors didn't believe me until I showed them the proof.

I passed this comment by the first time, absently nodding because yeah, I've overheard some of the student comments about my colleagues.

My mom moved up to teaching at a College when she lost her job as a 4th grade teacher. Her first assignment was working with ESL students to better understand English and US Culture. Her students were great and she enjoyed how well she was treated. One summer they asked her to work with incoming US students who…

MOST FUN I EVER HAD.

I think my favorite thing about this is that your User Name is TrashBoat.

Similarly, as a male lecturer at a European University, I get at least one comment too per semester (in evaluations, usually, though I once got propositioned in a footnote on my student's final) from female students and my fellow male colleagues don't understand why I find it to be creepy and weird.
