Hyatt hotels are currently being boycotted, with great support from feminist and LGBQT activists. Tiger Beatdown reports on the terrible worker abuses fueling this boycott, and I, for one, am pretty horrified by them. Here they are: - Branches around the country have fired many of their workers and brought on contract workers, who are temps but end up staying for months or even years, and don’t get any benefits, get paid less than ...

A few weeks back, pop culture critic Anita Sarkeesian launched a kickstarter campaign in an attempt to raise $6000 to fund a web-video series for her website Feminist Frequency. In the video series, Sarkeesian wanted to discuss the sexist and stereotypical representations of women in video games, to which I say, “well, duh,” as well as, “get it, girl!” Unfortunately, it would be an understatement to say that not ...

I never talked to anyone about it (because it seemed to be par for the course), but those experiences affected how I felt about myself for years to come.  I overcame these experiences over time, but not everyone does. That's clear if you take a look at how many kids ... Read More

 1)  When I am eating.  I know that walking down the street eating a chocolate-covered banana seems like an irresistible opportunity for you, but I will not be impressed. This is true especially if you happen to be riding a scooter on the sidewalk while you oh-so-cleverly mention that you have a chocolate-covered banana for me. Nah, dude, I’m good. Even if you’re a delivery guy and the basket on your scooter is ... Read More
