The computer room isn't a sausagefest because people inside try to keep women out, it's a sausagefest because it's the ghetto that people outside shove unattractive or non-conforming men into. You want to change the sausagefest stop demonizing the men in it. You can't keep screaming "sausagefest! neckbeards! fuckbois!" and act like you're not the origin of that stereotype.
Wait until you see what images they show teenage girls in art class. My god... sometimes... they even see penises!
and can even be unsafe for her, depending on the particular young men who happen to be in the class.
No, no it fucking won't and the fact you're even saying that is testimony to how astoundingly sexist our society has become. The rate of sexual assault in the general population is 7.6 in 1000 and even less in academic settings, and when you don't specifically redefine the term "rape" to exclude female perpetrators the stats prove women commit nearly half of all rapes in the US.
It's astronomically more likely that any man in that class will be violently attacked or die just trying to earn a paycheck than any woman will be attacked.
Women currently have a 2:1 advantage in STEM fields, are nearly 2/3rds of college graduates and even more than that in some STEM disciplines, utterly dominate virtually every measure of academic success and achievement we have at pretty much every level, and are on average only a third or less of the homeless, and are virtually none of workplace fatalities.
If we live in a "male dominated world" men are doing a really shitty job of oppressing women.
Teenage girls are not pure and fragile spun glass vestal virgins, they're just as filthy and often far more abusive and toxic than teenage boys.
Look up the phrase "paternalistic". What you're saying is that women are so weak, so feckless, so lacking in agency and personal strength, that they can't handle their own media/em made by women, marketed to women, and consumed by women.
Have you seen our national seal? An eagle with arrows and olive branches. We dictate the terms of peace because we have the weapons to do so.
Great Seal of the US - first used in 1782.
US becomes a world power - 1943, perhaps. An argument could be made for 1942 if you tried real hard. Before that? Requires a rather huge stretch....
The deficit from Clinton's years was due to Republican Congress setting the budget. It was also disappearing by time he left office.
Interesting theory, that.
Oddly enough, a quick check shows that the Democrats controlled Congress during the only part of Clinton's Presidency that the deficit increased.
The deficit began decreasing pretty much as soon as the Republicans took over...
Hard to worry about what happened over a 100 years ago. Had the issue bothered a lot of people, Hawaii wouldn't have voted to join the U.S. in 1959 by 93%.
It should be noted that the vote to join the USA was a popular vote by the Japanese citizens, the Chinese citizens, the Parsee citizens, the White citizens, and the Black citizens. The natives didn't have much say at all, since they are a teeny, tiny fraction of the population....
For those who are interested in such things, racial politics are...unusual (by American standards) there - the Parsees and Chinese are on top, then the Japanese, then the Whites, then the Blacks. The natives are somewhere down below there.
And that business model is clearly not even part of their problems. Clearly. The government should give them our money because we aren't giving enough of it to them.
This is what I was going to say. "Is there some sign that says 'good guys only' that stops bad guys from using it too?"
1) A jury-like panel of practitioners to judge obviousness.
It should, perhaps, be noted that a lot of things are obvious AFTER they've been invented.
NO doubt there are some that were also obvious before they were invented too, but it's by no means the same set of things....
The old "you can't yell fire in a crowded movie house" comes to mind.
The proper quote is "you can't FALSELY yell fire in a crowded theatre".
Pay close attention to that extra word - it's important....
Democrats are far more likely to have no valid ID
What, Democrats don't drive?? And can't be bothered to get the DL-equivalents that every State offers for non-drivers to use as ID?
consider that the Apple Watch is just the start of wearing things around your wrist.
.
And here I thought the cellphone was the END of wearing things around my wrist....
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
