omg, yes -- e.g., "The world would be a much better place, and the workplace a great deal happier, if instead of telling women to say sorry less, we told men to say sorry a whole lot more.".
Women are constantly told to change their vocabulary — to make it less apologetic and more assertive. But the truth is, we need to worry less about editing women, and more about editing incompetent and inappropriate men.

Excellent article on the less than excellent actions of the Harvard corp regarding past graduation: I appreciate the analysis of what this means for academic freedom. (It ain't good.).

The deep irony of posting this here is not lost on me, but I long for the ideal of discourse with attention to nuance rather than absolutism. In short, as a Jew I thank you Senator Schumer: @SenSchumer.
