    A rant about being a woman in a man's profession.

    Yeah, and maybe not taking it personally would be a good skill to develop too. This crew has been working 60+ hour work weeks with 5-6 hours sleep a night for 5 months without a break, and it won't let up for them until March. Everybody is overworked and sleep deprived. For many people in the...

    Why are you interested in debating?

    Why not? I find it very enjoyable, especially when others in the conversation debate honestly by providing evidence their premises are true, staying on topic, avoiding logical fallacies and using coherent reasoning. I've learned new things and grown as a person because of the few people here...

    Hey sis, how about a roll in the hay

    Nope. We don't need laws against things just because they gross us out.

    Avi's Career Advice

    Sure, there are jobs that pay well. If you love one of those, power to you! Mine's not so bad either, although I won't be buying anyone a Lexus for Christmas this year. :p

    Sex Object Test

    I don't have any of those, actually. People irritate me, but I never let it show at work. Win with a grin is my motto. It's so cute that you think I should talk to you as if RF is my job and you're a coworker. Even cuter that you think your insults should be met with respectful, polite replies.

    Hey ladies, listen to Microsoft CEO for career advice: "Don't ask for a raise."

    Guilty as charged. I've read it now. Stupidest advice ever. Goes to show that "male allies" of feminism who still subscribe to a gender binary idea of how people should behave aren't really allies. I just learned that at the job I quit.

    Atheists: What if?

    Yeah, exactly. And rather than seeing God as an easy explanation for mysterious phenomena, I see belief in God as one of the mysterious phenomena that needs explaining.

    Atheists: What if?

    Funnily enough that actually happened to me. It never even crossed my mind that a deity was somehow involved. In my world view, deities have no explanatory power. My musings on the cause of the experience went along the lines of quantum physics, the bend nature of spacetime, the more mysterious...

    Atheists: What if?

    Nope. I am not emotionally or psychologically invested in the existence or non-existence of god, so being wrong about that wouldn't be a bruise to my ego or an embarrassment or anything. I can't think of any other reason someone would hide evidence of god. If I had good evidence I'm sure I'd...

    Hey ladies, listen to Microsoft CEO for career advice: "Don't ask for a raise."

    I've never asked for a raise, exactly, but I've given notice because I'm sick of a job and accepted a raise as incentive to stay on, twice. But I think asking for a raise is totally fine. How else will you ever get one? Imo it's probably easier to look for another job that pays better, and when...

    Woman shot and killed for refusing to give man her phone number

    Yup. I get that too. I overcompensate for it by being too friendly. Lol.

    Woman shot and killed for refusing to give man her phone number

    I completely understand. :) Thank you for expressing your thoughts in an honest and non-confrontational way, in the spirit of this subforum. I also appreciate your willingness to listen to women sharing their experiences and what they think about them as opposed to denying or ignoring those...

    Woman shot and killed for refusing to give man her phone number

    I've been treated to men who are out on the pull becoming angry and aggressive when I don't want to talk to them, flirt with them, give them my number or what have you on several occasions. I've also seen it happening to other women. Never violent, so far, but aggressive enough to make me think...

    Woman shot and killed for refusing to give man her phone number

    Sure, I'd say female sexual entitlement played a part. Nobody argued the roles are never reversed, but the statistics say over half of female murder victims are killed by a current or former lover, while for men that statistic drops to less than 10%. So, although it sucks either way, there's...

    A rant about being a woman in a man's profession.

    I can't tell you how relieved I was to be coming to work here today. :D I have confirmed they do want to keep me until this series wraps at the end of the month, and I'm being considered for the series they start after that. Time to pull out my A game and make myself indispensable. Plus whip out...

    I love it when you drop all the condescension and sophistry and speak your mind plainly like this. You should grunt, bark and growl instead of trying to use words more often. It's efficient.

    Sex Object Test

    As well as not being able to tell the difference between looking attractive and being sexually objectified, it seems you suffer from the inability to differentiate between "patriarchy" (a sociopolitical system) and "men" (a gender). It makes your posts entertaining, but perhaps not as...
