Bringing it back around: this interview with a reporter who has investigated Catholic priests for sex abuse, talking about Penn State: [link]
Natter 69: Practically names itself.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do you want to talk to him, Allyson?
Not unless he tossed himself on a sword and admitted to being a jackass. Which has happened approximately never in an internet argument.
Timelies all!
Ow. Did something to my neck, so turning my head hurts. I've put Ben-Gay on, and will take an Advil with dinner.
Which has happened approximately never in an internet argument.
Skip it then.
There's probably a flow chart out there somewhere... all arrows lead to "Skip it."
Oh, my god, I am so antsy right now. You'd think someone slipped some Compazine in my coffee; that's how it feels. Do not like. Maybe switch to decaf tomorrow if I'm like this again. It's definitely a Benadryl night, or there will be no sleep for me.
He did, Allyson, and he's still a jackass. But someone else has your back:
Both socialization and institutional obstacles have kept women out of many fields historically. As the culture has changed, we’ve moved toward parity. Fifty years ago, people looked at the absence of female doctors, lawyers, presidents & prime ministers, and scientists, and said that it must be due to some inherent difference between men and women. They were wrong. And if you are saying that the underrepresentation of women on philosophy panels, or in rock bands, is due to some inherent difference between men and women, you are just as wrong. And with much less excuse.
Thanks for checking it out for me. Did he even come up with a male musician who could pass his test if applied equally?
I would just like to state for the record that I was deeply confused about why Richard Simmons thought he should be paying more taxes. I mean, how high an income can he have at this point in his has-been hood?
I'm not sure we're even going to "do" Thanksgiving this year. And I don't even care. I'm tired. I'll have five days off and I just want to sleep.
Yes, this. I don't even think I'll be able to attend the neighborhood gathering for an extended amount of time.
