Authority: 696
One of the oddities of collegiate recruiting that has long fascinated me is the use of attractive women as bait.

Cbs-logo CBS has launched a new holiday PSA campaign that when broadcast in my home, silenced the room and made me look sort of quizzically at my husband.

A note regarding this article :while the article makes some good points about a horrible culture that tormented a girl, I notice it also seems to speculate a lot–and further, it seems not to note that literally three times as many teen boys commit suicide as teen girls , which probably indicates that there’s a ...1 day ago -

Authority: 147
During the 1960s when male hair length was among the most critical issues facing American society, many adults spent their days and nights checking out the hair of their children.

To put a spin on the old canard, just because you do a poll of anecdotes, doesn’t make it data. If you ask someone their view of male bosses compared to female bosses , you can’t really expect their response to contain some deep commentary on how gender affects leadership. It will show how they feel about the ...1 day ago -

It was just another Friday evening in a Pakistan city and men, women, and children had gathered to say their prayers.

This is a really good blog post : I’ve been grappling with the question of whether conversations about marginalized peoples are valuable if the conversations take place without the participation of said people.

I recall in September, 1951 being in Ft.Dix when a major brought us together to offer his views on national security. The gist of his talk was that Communists in China and North Korea were going to cross the Pacific Ocean and descend on our girl friends, sisters and mothers in an orgy of rape. I composed this ditty a ...4 days ago -
