I can’t begin to express how insulting to women that photo is.

Hm, it turns out certain mannerisms are intrinsic to being a woman. Because womanhood is just a role to play, donchaknow.
Blood Knight in Sour Armor
I guess he could pass as Nana Visitor but I can’t see Major Kira pulling that pose outside of one of Quark’s holosuite programs…
Acolyte of Sagan
Those black lines on his cheekbone and nose: botched attempt at shaping his features with make up with no concept of shading? or fell asleep while minding a three-year-old with a black Sharpie?
Roj Blake
Oh honestly, Ophelia, how could I be expected to know he is a woman if he wasn’t as coquettish as all women are? All women ARE coquettish, aren’t they?
Hang on, I’ll just go ask my wife …………………………………………
OW! That HURT!!

They sure like the name “Grace”, don’t they?
Richard
I hadn’t realised she had been a he. I’d assumed “Grace” was an infelicitous parental choice but no, he has decided he wants to be called “grey slavery”.
Anyway, Abigail Shrier’s book is now at #19 on Amazon.com, while Grace’s has shot up from #1,964,777 to #248,233 over the last couple of days. Who said there’s no such thing as bad publicity?

I found this response appropriate:
Grace is only free to pose like this without career consequences because Grace wasn’t born female. Obviously, Grace will never quite grasp this.
The tweeter is quite right: this show displaying a carefully curated woman costume also displays male privilege. Only a man would be allowed to act so womanish and still be professionally respected.
I imagine it must be hard for TIMs of a certain age to chase an ever-receding dragon. Much surgery and makeup required. There’s only so many times you can slice and dice before your nose falls apart like Michael Jackson’s.

Yes, that’s an excellent point.
Nullius in Verba
That’s an odd name. If you say it quickly, it morphs into something else, as the ess sticks to the second syllable. “Grey Slavery.” Not that that has any meaning with which I’m familiar, but I thought it interesting.

Good grief, were I the chair of whatever department this guy is in, I’d haul his ass in for a stern lecture on professional standards. I’d also make a remark in his file for discussion at his tenure review.
