He uses weird grammar and punctuation for an average white dude named Jeff. Are you sure he’s for real?

Putting this here, because it’s one of the most toxic myths of the patriarchy:

Yes and harmful to everyone. I deal with this “self-made man” mindset a lot, and it seems like the main function is to protect men from reaching out to other people, from showing others when things aren’t going that well for them. It’s a way of hiding.

And also of denying. See “I’d like to thank my wife for all her support” mentions at the fronts of books, which invariably far understate the actual contribution.

I’ve seen several in the past. They simply can’t get used to the iPhone keyboard for some reason.

This could go elsewhere, but I think the fact that the studio wanted to cut Mona Lisa deserves to be in the Not Feminism 101.

This is what gets me about hollywood. They can make entire contemporary modern movies where there are just no women… and thats normal. And to me, thats a chilling insight into the mind of (some) men. That we literally don’t even exist, not even in the background. I find that terrifying.

Right? And also, like, she MADE the movie. I mean, Joe Pesci is great, but she steals the show.

They’re still trying to write Mrs. Einstein out of the photoemission work.
And “Nobel for Jo Bell” was a rallying cry of some Cambridge students in the 1970s.
When someone mentions it (and I think she’s very tired of the subject, so I don’t on the very rare occasions I encounter her) Jo Bell-Burnell tends to say “well that’s how it was at the time”, which is diplomatic. The problem is, it’s still like that a lot now. I guess it is asking a lot of people older than I am to jump up and down and shout about the state of the world when I’m hardly transforming it myself, but I’d like a little more rage rather than weary acceptance.

Just watched it with my daughter and he friends and they were totally girl crushing on her. They are so great. I love watching female empowerment movies with them. We also watched Erin Brockovich.

SSDD:
Careers dashed, fields abandoned because men won’t meet basic standards of decency. And then they have the nerve to say women aren’t cut out for the rigour of it.

The Reg seems to have become a magnet for US trolls. I think it’s because they allow naughty words. But the ratio is still generally good; currently my post complaining about US trolls taking their weird obsessions to the Reg is running at 14 15 17 up and 2 down. It was 11 up and 1 down at one point but then, I think, the US trolls started to finish work on the East Coast.
Edit:
There’s a lovely example here. Someone complains about people not knowing basic grammar and then writes:
And by the way, some of us still believe in rights, such as the right trade freely without thugs like you wanted to force people to sell you what you want at gun point.
This is apparently about net neutrality.
