Scott Adams thinks consent is such a BUMMER (from The Mary Sue)

PSA:

 

Scott Adams, writer of comic strip Dilbert (apparently that's still a thing that exists?) is a complete dick. He basically states that women refusing to have sex with a man is more likely to make him a terrorist than fundamentalism (or anything else, really). A woman having the CHOICE to have sex is messed up, since dudes pay for dates and stuff! How unfair! There's no pay gap, because "informed feminists" (who remain unnamed) say so. And his anecdata about "his general experience" of being in meetings with women is just...ARGH. Gross and fucked up, basically.

 

Apparently knowledge of his dickishness has been known for a while, but since Dilbert stopped being relevant well over a decade ago, I just didn't know until now.

Do You NEED to Be a Writer? (from The Awl)

I thought this was pretty funny (and mostly true).

Weird Disparity of the National Book Award Longlist(s)

From Flavorwire.com

 

I'm not all that worried about the big literary awards, but the non-fiction longlist for the NBA is pretty dad-book-centric this year, considering how many awesome non-fiction came out. I mean, why would you leave out The Empathy Exams and Bad Feminist and include YET ANOTHER book about the German occupation of France? Is there even anything left to write about that particular period? I could go to my local used bookstore and pick up- I kid you not- at least 10 different titles from different authors on that right now (and probably for less than $20, since they're oversaturated).
