Edison was a jerk!?!
Yeah, here’s more on how it was presented in the Edison Catalog…quelle surprise:
Edison was an ASSHOLE.
And Nikola Tesla deserved far better than to have an asshole name his overpriced car company after him.
Crossposted from Today in Transphobia, because this is bad news for all young women.
Because poor women should just die, already, from treatable cancer. Texas, your comeuppance from demographic shifts can’t come soon enough.
Wow, I was so infuriated by that snippet that I read the whole opinion piece, and let me tell you, it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Political correctness has put paid to any true honor an honorary doctorate may once have possessed. If you are ever looking for a simile to denote rarity, try “rarer than a contemporary university honorary-degree list not containing an African-American woman.”
I mean…
A wise man once said that no one should call himself “Dr.” unless he has delivered a child
Holy shit there’s at least four layers of misogyny in that one sentence alone.
I guess I can’t use that title either, since I don’t deliver babies. My sister the vet would be banned, let alone my brother the Ph.D. There are so many punchable things in this short statement. Referring to the first lady elect as “kiddo” is not even the first, but demands its own level of assholery. Obviously, world class jerk. Best abandoned on a small island without wifi.
Yeah, I don’t even know where to start with that statement. I keep going to, “but she has delivered a baby. She even grew it in her own body.”
But to even allow it any foothold is so ridiculous.
And he seemingly had no problem with her using the title for 8 years as the 2nd lady…?
Aww, snap, I didn’t even notice the “himself” until rereading it just now. Gah!
I wonder if there’s something about being named “J. Epstein” that dooms a person to become human garbage.
(aimed at the author of the pile of shit, not you, of course)
As someone with a phd, I say…
It’s a layer cake of shit.
Or burnable…
the most infuriating thing to me is that epstein goes to all that trouble to completely dump on holders of honorary degrees while jill biden holds a ph.d. she wrote and defended a dissertation to earn. wtaf?
