male entitlement in academic spaces is so boring. can’t tell you how many times i’ve been in a class and a girl gives a short, insightful analysis, and then a dude raises his hand and says “jumping off of that…” then says literally the same thing she said but longer and worse.
I hate to be that guy, but it doesn’t just happen to women. The assholes who do that will do that to anyone who’s analysis isn’t sufficiently complex and long winded for them.
Been done to me by people of both genders.
Also I have been guilty of doing this, so I apologize. Because I was overly excited and just couldn’t wait to talk…. yeah.
The amount of people mad at me because I called Judy Garland Liza Minnelli’s mom on that post is the funniest thing that ever happened to me on tumblr.
Some people really think I don’t know who she is. I guess that what happens when you stay away from tumblr for too long.
