It’s not my job to educate you on how the education industry works. Go and read what qualified people have already written about it in academic journals.

Sure buddy, force people to do what you want, see how quickly you get fired.

No, just equality. Isn’t that what feminism is about?

Yeah I know. It still annoys me though, I don’t want this place to turn into Reddit.

I understand your frustration, I’m an introvert and I work in education which is about 75% women, so I have run across groups like what you describe.

The easiest fix is to find a better work place, but in the meantime the only thing I’ve found that works is to become boring to them; listen politely but give short, non-committal answers. Shrug and say “I don’t know” as much as you can. Don’t say anything that they can use to ask a follow up question. If you get a hardcore talker, excuse yourself to go to the bathroom.

Your entire post is a series of straw man arguments that are completely fabricated.

No assessment method is perfectly suited to every student.

Coursework can be similarly adapted.

Absolutely, one of the first and best examples.

I have to admit though, I do actually love that show haha

All this moral panic is garbage.

Easily solved by using essays with an unseen question written in exam conditions as assessment instruments.

Literally a pencil and paper solves this problem.

I think this is a pretty good definition. Heard it on an episode of This American Life. Note that it’s not just about romantic love, but other kinds as well.

The visionary feminist writer Bell Hooks says love is made up of seven parts. Wherever someone is practicing care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, trust, and open, honest communication, there is love.

Just like the actual monarchy, with gold and peasants

What I’ve never been able to wrap my head around is how did they use their tiny arms, and for what?

Only thing I can think of is that they might have used them to brace themselves on the ground while leaning down past their balance point to eat. Doesn’t seem like a very useful thing to have arms just for that though

This whole thing gonna take the U outta the USA

It was good knowing ya, murrica

Because nobody cares when double standards negatively impact boys or men.

OP proposed many ways to let his co-workers know he doesn’t like chatting and none of them are what you quoted. In fact, he expressly created this thread to figure out how not to be rude to them

People are allowed to keep to themselves. Why does it bother you so much? Why are you so personally offended by this? I’ve never understood why extroverts feel as if the world owes them attention.

The commenter I replied to wants to force OP to interact above and beyond what he wants to.

That’s how 5 year olds navigate life. Adults understand that everyone is allowed to make their own choices.

I want to fall in love one last time before I die. (Terminal cancer, age 41)

All that other shit is meaningless

RACISM!
