isn't LGBTQwhatver just lumping way too many things in together? I think the department at WashU was called "Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies." Although I have a lot of thoughts about ghettoizing those studies into their own department. Why should the Women's History prof be in Women's Studies, instead of History? It's kind of like how my school had an American Culture Studies department. All of the classes could/should have been listed under other departments, and I don't understand why they needed their own department for one thing. It seems bizarre to separate disciplines by Topic rather than Technique. I get why a Women's Studies department might have been needed historically, but why is it needed now?

The G in an LGBT should really be guacamole.

This. I went to a women's college. We did not have a "Women's Studies" department or anything like it. When asked once why we offered African-American History but not Women's History, the History department head replied, "At [College], all history is Women's history. And it was true -- they just integrated it into the rest of the curriculum.

I use Black instead of African-American unless I'm in a very formal situation, like writing a term paper. That is how almost every Black person I have ever met has referred to their race, so that's what I use. Besides which, African-American is not necessarily correct. My sister-in-law is a Black American, but her heritage is mainly Jamaican.

My kids describe people in terms of straight-up skin color. Chaos Girl was talking about her school friends and told me that one particular boy is "brown." Which is fine with me. The longer they can go without realizing that the rest of the world likes to categorize people by race and ethnicity, the better.

On a related note, my son has a distinct preference for brown women. It started when he got completely googly-eyed for Denyce Graves when she appeared on Sesame Street. Ever since then, busty Black women send him into a swoon. Looking forward to those sweet little biracial grandbabies, we are.

In private I use "colored people" because of the nostalgia value. Is that terrible?

It's way less bad than a lot of things, but yes.

Was talking about current events in Iran, and my roommate felt the need to lecture me about how they hate Jewish people and deny the holocaust and hate Israel. As if I did not know that shit. Then he went on a speech about how it's so hard being surrounded by non-Jews who don't know this stuff. Tried not to say "no, I know about that. I just don't care."

yeah, I thought it best to end that convo before we got to "I think Israel seem like dicks."

Israel v. Iran seems like a situation that will end badly almost entirely because they are both countries with messed up complexes. For completely valid reasons, but come on guys! Don't have a war just because you are worried about your dick size!

Having a lot of discussions lately that reach the point of "I understand that _____ is a big deal to you, but I need you to understand that it is not a big deal to me."

The thing that makes me Really Really Mad is when people can't have perspective. This means I am destined for a life of anger.

Especially when there is a direct connection between the situation a person is lacking perspective about, and a personal issue they have. Like:
"hey, it makes you mad when people are a dick to you at work, so why do you act like a dick to other people when you are a customer?"
"Your sister is a high-school dropout with a drug problem, so why do you think it is OK to tell me my sister is a stupid bitch?"

Also related, when someone is a dick to me (even as a joke) the only response I can think of is always the Nuclear Option.

"Oh, yeah, I'm pretty bad at this board game. How about you get a job instead of relying on handouts from your parents? Maybe you should focus less energy on Scrabble and more on that, huh buddy?"

I am feeling pragmatic about the Middle East lately, insofar as I know that the leaders of Iran and Syria are murderous bastards but direct intervention means World War Three and...

That's, like, everyone dead.

So how about no.
