I agree with Hugo Schwyzer: shaming jerks is a great idea.
“Most of American couples are dual-earner couples; it’s about time that we acknowledge that reality instead of setting up the entire economy as if everyone, male and female, has a wife at home to pick up the kids from school and do the laundry. This is not just a female issue– this is an issue for everyone that wants to have children someday.”
Should people be sent to jail for posting offensive comments on their Facebook pages?
Even more proof that not all research publications are valued equally.
Not mentioning reproductive rights might well cost Obama the elections. And it will serve him right for pandering to woman-hating religious fanatics, too.
This is one of my favorite Nepali dishes. It’s great finally to have a recipe.
Sign the bill of reproductive rights!
Great tips on how to ask for a letter of recommendation.
Finally, somebody says something of value on foreign relations: “They want the public to believe that they think that presidential rhetoric can alter the course of foreign political events. It’s difficult to overstate just how breathtakingly arrogant one has to be to presume that the influence of the U.S. government in shaping the affairs of other nations is that great.”
This is why I never want to participate in any team-teaching.
This is exactly how I feel: “Moderator Martha Raddatz. . . asked one question towards the end that really, really pissed me off. Namely: “I would like to ask you both to tell me what role your religion has played in your own personal views on abortion.” Who in the fuck cares? You are asking this question of two MEN. Neither one has ever known or will ever know what it’s like to experience a pregnancy scare, or an unwanted pregnancy, or any kind of pregnancy. Their religion has fuck-all to do with my right to control my body, my right to decide if and/or when to bear children.” Yes, yes, and a 100 times yes.
Why a Romney presidency would be horrible for women.
A fellow scholar from Illinois explains why the ethics training we are all bullied into is stupid. I agree with this post completely. I am Blogger Clarissa and I endorse this message. 🙂
What if it takes you a very long time to get into your writing?
And the post of the week: “The question of whether ADHD or bipolar “exists” is loudly debated because it is utterly meaningless, in battlefield psychiatry no one is treating the diagnosis regardless, we are all treating symptoms; and we’re not treating symptoms, we’re calling them symptoms because otherwise we don’t get paid, you don’t get the med, somebody’s going to get punched and somebody’s going to get sued because somebody didn’t “manage the underlying psychiatric process that mediated the assault” which doesn’t exist but for some weird reason is widely prevalent in poor blacks and hispanics and whites with calf tattoos.”
