because opinions shouldn’t dictate people’s access to rights. ~everyone is entitled to their opinion~ but, not everyone’s opinion is right. some people’s opinions are dumb as fuck.
this is the reason i watch game of thrones and the walking dead by myself or with someone else who has also read both of them/willing to let me spoil them.
you tried. arguing with a sociology major (yes i do use my degree at my job) about social inequalities was probably not the best decision you made today. especially with an overused billy madison quote! the price is wrong bitch.
women don’t get paid less solely because we are women and our work is literally worth-less. we get paid less because we are also in competition with men IN ADDITION to being women. try again.
of course it’s on average, that’s how statistics work. This has been proven time and time again with different population sample sizes, it cannot be disproved unless the sample size was handpicked and only contained exceptions to the rule.
“Other words, like “geek,” “nerd,” and even “gay” to a point…”
girl…no.
“Some girls and women have dreams of being a stay-at-home mom and running the PTA, not running a fortune 500 company or the world.”
these girls can be called “bossy” too. i don’t really get the correlation that if the campaign empowers girls to be business-minded leaders then it dis-empowers girls to be stay at home moms. if you aspire to run the PTA, isn’t that aspiring to be a leader too? and a small part of me also wants to point out that women have been told forever that it’s cool for us to be stay at home moms but only recently have we been told we can be leaders, especially in the business/political world so it’s nice to hear that as someone who definitely doesn’t aspire to be a stay-at-home mom.
I agree with reclaiming the word as opposed to banning it, however, it is still going to have negative linguistic power when used by a privileged group as an insult to someone of a disenfranchised group. The focus should be on education on words, their connotations, and social inequalities.
I am one of the few that loved season 2 so I’m all about character development. But I found myself asking “ok, what was the point of this episode?” That’s not really something I want to ask after watching.

if we never spoke about social inequalities then the most important equal rights movements in history would have never happened.
agreed.
also people can’t seem to distinguish between their opinions and facts.
sadly all the comments just prove #1 totally, totally wrong.

women get paid less because we’re harder to fire……
also not every woman takes maternity leave, shocker. you should definitely publish these findings though.
