I wish the bar exam taker didn’t feel that she had to distance herself from “crazy feminists” in order to ask for reasonable accommodations.

And…..I made the mistake of looking at the ATL comments on that story. I only wish they had been of the “guys in high schools pumped during exams all the time….it was no big deal” type. I need brain bleach. (And yes, I knew the risk when I opened up the comments.)
Also, +1 to the wishing she hadn’t said “crazy feminist” either….
