Is she being tear gassed or OC sprayed? Either way terrible, but the whole hose thing leads me to believe it's not gas but OC liquid. Read more

Reading Tamora Pierce's novels as a kid are what turned me into book worm and a feminist. Read more

But Dartmouth has allowed protests before. And if they didn't want protesters rallying in the dining hall, maybe they shouldn't have put doors on it. After all, the school allowed all those other people in the dining hall, how are the protesters supposed to know that they aren't welcome? Read more

As a teacher, I dress professionally everyday to send the message to my students that their education is important and serious work. This same message can be sent to students through dress codes for both male and female students that promote clean and serious clothes in school, think: breakfast with grandma,… Read more

I wonder what people like this do at swimming pools. Do they point to every individual woman that walks by and yell "Inappropriate! I can see your knees! You're distracting ALL THE MENFOLKZ!!!"? Geez, even my 60+ yr old mom has a li'l skirt on her swimsuit that only BARELY covers her butt. What a hoochie! Read more

This article has so much truth in it! All through college people I knew would ask me "What do you do with an English degree? Teach?" and when I told them I didn't want to teach they would stare at me like I had 3 heads. Your "Just Pick Something" advice worked in my case. It was between working at my same summer… Read more

I feel like adding this "It's okay if you don't know what you want to be when you grow up". When I was in college I was a psych major (mostly because my older sister majored in psych) but I hated it and I was paying for school myself so I switched to History (classes I actually enjoyed). But forever more I am asked… Read more

Thank-you for recognizing the privilege you have in graduating from college sans debt. As someone who will be graduating in 5 day with $30,000 of debt I hate when people complain about their state of life when they have a clean slate. Thanks for the advice, I am glad you got your dream job. Read more

"I don't want to turn you into a misanthrope at such a tender age, but listen: most people do not have your best interests at heart. I now see that most of the idiots who told me I'd surely fail were projecting their own insecurities onto me." Read more

"I see girls mad young walking around school who are pregnant," one 13-year-old said. "I think everyone should be able to get it because that's better than babies having more babies." It's nice to see that this thirteen-year-old gets it better than any of the social conservatives in this country. Do we *want* to see… Read more

Duh, a true domestic goddess knows that you use home made superglue to attach the stars to your knees. Tape is for amateurs. Read more

IF properly enforced and managed, comp time is great. When I worked for the Dept of Labor, I loved having flexibility to pick and choose which days I worked a long day, or saving up spare comp time to let me take off at 3 pm on Fridays. It also let me save my vacation time for vacation. However, DOL's workforce is… Read more

I work for the state of Texas. If we work over 40 hours a week at my place of employment and try to get OT pay instead of comp-time... well you pretty much have to take someone hostage and send a ransom note. It is ridiculous. AND there are only and handful of times a year that one can even put in overtime, so its not… Read more

I am a member at a CrossFit gym and the bro culture is problematic. It's definitely a "one size fits all" mentality, and they play it pretty fast and loose with their references to female body parts, expecting that everyone will "be cool" and know that they are just being super awesome and funny. I haven't felt so… Read more
