More often than not, abusers hide behind proclamations of love. But here is the key to seeing through their lies: Love is the ultimate form of acceptance and understanding. Do you feel 100% understood and accepted by a person? No? Then this person doesn’t love you. Try this test in your own life and you’ll have your answers.
“”There’s a suburban myth that women’s brains are inherently suited for multitasking; something men cannot understand.” Yes, I’ve heard this bizarre myth, and just like any other proclamation about the non-existent gendered brain, it is a mistake to uphold it.
Small but spectacular discoveries from the Victorian classroom.
Childhood obesity in the US is such an obvious and tragic problem that I don’t see why people need to produce endless screeds trying to convince themselves it isn’t true.

“West Virginia University is hiring a “Wikipedian-in-residence” to help close the online encyclopedia’s gender gap. The one-year position, to be filled this fall, will aim to increase the number of Wikipedia articles on West Virginia women and in the field of gender studies by 25 percent, the university said.” I believe it’s actually a great sign that few women are interested in the unpaid work of contributing to Wikipedia. Enough already with giving away our labor for free.

Very interesting revelations about the Tim Hunt scandal. That story was a lot more complex than we’d been led to believe.
How very pathetic: “ESPN has come under fire for awarding Caitlyn Jenner the prestigious Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs Wednesday night. But RadarOnline.com has learned, it wasn’t initially their idea! According to an insider, Jenner’s reps approached the network suggesting she receive the award — and offering PR plugs on her upcoming docuseries in return.” The whole thing has become simply shameless.
The war on our culture is raging on.
Sharing economy is fleecing economy.
By God people have sheltered lives: “The final season of Mad Men reminds us how exhausting the “high-quality cable drama” can be — how much pressure there is to watch, to have an opinion, to be up to date on the online dialogue.” Exhausting, pressure – all that about some silly TV show. I wonder what it must feel like to live a life where the only hardship is of this kind.

Extreme bizarredom happens very often: ““Great” books, as defined by the Western canon, didn’t contain female protagonists I could admire. In fact, they barely contained female protagonists at all.” I have no idea how this strange creature managed not to find female protagonists in the Western canon. There is a hundred novels titled with a female name for every single one titled with a male name. How can one miss Jane Eyre, Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, Emma, Mrs. Dalloway, Clarissa, Pamela, Effi Briest, Fortunata and Jacinta, Alice in Wonderland, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Rebecca, Moll Flanders, Little Dorritt, Daisy Miller, Mary Barton, Agnes Grey, La Regenta, Manon Lescaut, Thérèse Raquin, Eva Luna, Eugenie Grandet, Belinda, Evelina, Nana, and so on and on. And hey, these are just the titles that contain female names. Actual female protagonists are innumerably more because novels where there are only male characters are very limited in number. You may hate all of these characters – although that’s just weird but managing not to notice their existence and centrality to the Western canon is simply insane. And by the way, I’m really well-read.
