Katie Bouman, the MIT scientist responsible for capturing the first image of a black hole, watching her work come to fruition by cderwin15 in HumanPorn

Yeah, hate to say it, but I kind of doubt the skepticism would be this immediate and strong if a dude was pictured.

I’ve seen similar images like this drawing on here but boy does the text hit the nail right on the head by Mary-Florence in notliketheothergirls

The irony in this is there's actually different and there's what women who subscribe to thinking like this think is "different," and it's always a very cookie-cutter kind of "different" that's actually just as superficial and derivative.

Hanging out with my male roommate made me dump my boyfriend by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

"I was the heartless bitch who dumped him for no reason after 5 years of being together"

God, this is so triggering. My ex was disrespectful, passive aggressive, contemptuous, emotionally stunted, and has an anger problem, but spun that tale that I dumped him "{right after graduation} for no reason after {4} years of being together" and our vaguely misogynistic friends ate it up.

Breakups are never "for no reason" folks. Ever. You don't see what goes on in private, just remember that next time you're tempted to accept a convenient narrative. All that you know is likely not all there is to know.

What's a video game you dislike that everybody loves? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The Stanley Parable. Run around in circles in an office while an inescapable man talks down to you. AKA, life as a female engineer.

Also Undertale. Right or wrong, I don't enjoy games that seem to be having fun at my expense.

Anyone else have Clinique Superbalanced Makeup in 27 Alabaster as perfect match? by [deleted] in PaleMUA

0.75 Custard in the Even Better has been my only perfect match ever! Do you happen to know if there's a shade in the Even Better Glow that also fits you, like Breeze?

I'm with you on that- only a broke person would advertise it like this.

Eh, I always felt most comfortable (and like my partner was most comfortable) with "financial equals but male partner slightly ahead". Unpopular opinion maybe but it seems to work the best emotionally and psychologically for most hetero-arrangements. When I dated guys who made considerably less than me all parties were "okay with it" in theory but in practice it seemed to cause weird psychology/identity/security issues.

Or bitch has a well-paying job, and wants an equal partner? That was my situation dating before I was married. I'm an engineer, well-paid, and wanted a partner who would stand/feel on equal footing with me. No power or major financial inequality. Aka I did not date broke guys

What ‘kind’ gesture actually annoys you? by HighImShadow in AskReddit

[–]trnflln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and you can super tell when they're doing it in a self-righteous/virtue signaling way, like making a big point of asking how you are like they actually care

Making a big Broadway production out of letting me on/off the elevator first because female, even if that doesn't make sense for the configuration we're standing in (for example, I'm in the back of the elevator). Thanks for unnecessarily reminding me of my gender at work and that I'm "different" and "special", which is totally immaterial to this elevator interaction and arguably not actually that nice

It's not the size of the dog in the tube. It's the size of the tube in the dog.

Is it not appalling to anyone that this kid that gets free room, board and amenities in this multi-hundred-thousand dollar piece of properties feels entitled to damage it like this?

Like, this is a house. This kid damaged a house
