A huge Cordelia/Angel rec list post divided by category (60)
I have a co-worker who recently returned from maternity leave, and she has already told me that “I’ll never understand until I have kids,” on 7 separate occasions. It is very aggressive. The most recent INUUIHK-bomb was dropped after she told me she was planning a family trip to Hawaii and she and the husband were going to take separate flights in case one of them crashes. I reminded her that the annual number of domestic fatalities related to air travel is approximately (exactly) zero and that our highway system is far more dangerous. In return she reminded me that I’m a childless moron who probably shouldn’t be allowed to use a microwave without adult supervision. OK fine, whatever. Since procreation grants you instant wisdom, here is a list of post-fertilization things I’m looking forward to understanding:

Yikes. I somehow assumed it was a man who said this (my bad). I get the impression this person is getting caught up in semantics. This happens a lot. See: people who don’t get what the term ‘theory’ or ‘privilege’ means in certain contexts.
I should have clarified, my bad.
The thing is…this woman…her last three discussion posts have just been mind boggling to me. I might have to PM you a few of the posts because I am not sure what is going on.
I hope, I really hope that it’s a semantics issue. I pray it is.

It’s interesting (and inane) that they can only see rape as an act of lust/sex/desire, which means they see it only from the point of view of the victimizer. The victim, of course, sees it as an act of violence, disrespect, and hate. Empathy failure.
The saddest thing to me is that this was on the context of reading Hodge’s book Gendered Hate. Her whole first chapter is how ALL crimes against women with male perpetrators are hate crimes, from date rape to domestic violence to murder. She spends TWENTY TWO PAGES discussing what a hate crime is and why violence against women is a hate crime. Like I can’t believe this woman read all of that and still was like well, this kind of rape isn’t a hate crime. Like as a woman, how can you sympathize with the victimizer? She is just that socialized to it, it seems. She can’t get over it.

Who can be that heartless and naive?!
She is an undergrad but she is also a Criminal Justice major. I find it unbelievable that either she hasn’t encountered this before or someone hasn’t said SOMETHING to her about it. I wish my professor was more proactive and would actually step in to say something to her. She has been posting things like this for the past three discussions we’ve had. It was too much for me today.

How did someone with an IQ of 5 get into that program?
You know how every state has that one state school where all you need to do is sign a check and you get in? That is what this school feels like to me. I mean when I applied for grad school, they took a copy of my GRE that was like 7-8 years old. A photocopy no less. With those rigorous standards for grad school, I only imagine what the undergraduate program is like.
I’m seriously stunned right now.
Someone in my Criminal Justice class discussion said that men who rape women they are married to or men who rape women they find attractive should NOT be considered hate crimes because there is no hatred of women involved.
I really don’t even know how to respond to it. It is wrong on so many levels.
Honestly, I cried a little. It hurt my heart that much.
I’m too smart and tender hearted for this class I think.
