birds-inthe-sycamoretree asked: you're my fucking favorite. There are so many Sociology majors in my seminars who have somehow forgotten or disregarded all the tenets of social science and critical thought. Your reaction to your classmate's response strikes so many chords with me. Keep on keeping on.

One Very Lucky Mama: The Time Mag Crap →
natural-mama: I promised myself I wouldn’t get involved but it’s so ridiculous I can’t help myself. Seriously. Seriously?? The cover shows a ‘sexy’ mom with a ‘large for his age’ child not even nursing in a normal way. It makes woman question whether they are ‘mom enough’ when NO mom should ever question… You would LOVE Samantha’s response to the Time Magazine article you are...

Contrasting Male Opinions on Women in the Military
dogsfromeggs: wickebine: lawsonry: The following is a long, passionate response of mine to another male in one of my sociology classes. Read More glorious person A great comparison between two lines of thought: one rational and the other banking on the social programming he admits is mutable.  Great way of summarizing the post. This is one of my most popular ones.

pimped-klingon asked: That 'contrasting male opinions on women in the military' is beautiful work sir! I thought for sure it was a woman writing it, with such amazing and tactful understanding of the issue that is uncommon from men (unfortunately). Keep up the good fight!

0ught reblogged your post: Contrasting Male Opinions on Women in the Military I’m reading this and I get to the second paragraph of his answer: Oh Jesus Christ! Look out people! We’ve got a scenario… Unfortunately, his response is very typical in the military community.

– Break Up the Big Media Monopoly It doesn’t take a genius to look around and see that power is clearly corrupt, the voice of the people is being silenced, and that the media has become the voice of the power they’re supposed to hold accountable. The media isn’t reporting on the fact that the FDA,...

Squashed: On Violent Protest →
squashed: Anonymous asked: What do you think of violent protesting? It’s immoral, counter-productive, and stupid. It is immoral because violence hurts people. A lot. Usually the people hurt aren’t the people being protested against. I understand that every great revolutionary movement has had some… Well put.
