That reminds me. His wife had to go out of town for some months-long project. The prospect of spending time with his daughter? "Oh no I can't do that. We have to hire a nanny."

Here's the common problem. You cannot get into a debate about what people do on their time off — diaper changing, dog walking, gift wrapping, nursing, sleeping, whatever. If you give people time off, it's time off. Everyone should get it equally. Designating it for childcare and nothing else is insulting and makes…

The dudebro in my office only took two days off after his daughter was born. Later on, he took a week off. That's it. He couldn't "do that" to the office...whatever the hell that means. But yeah he definitely humblebragged about it. My boss fell for it too.

This sounds like something my mother would love. She gave her daughters a bunch of No Rape tips (like avoid travelling alone because of travel predators. WTF is that?) but nothing for her sons. I suppose it's all good.

Thanks. I appreciate that. I really do. You'd be surprised by how many people said, "But...but THAT never happens??!? Who just backs out with no warning?" I remember growing up and watching TV shows about weddings that didn't happen, and my mom insisting that stuff "never happens" in real life. I'm here to tell…

My ex just upped and decided to call off our wedding because he never loved me. Ever. Why did he propose, ask me to move in, and start planning a joint life together? No one will ever know. That said, the lovely venue we'd booked (all while he knew he was going to back out in the end...nice guy, eh?) said that in…

"In the end, the consequences that resulted from how she reported the conduct put our business in danger."

Oh I'm all about complaining about it. A loud, "Don't touch me!" seems to work. Shaming them by calling a lot of public attention to it works well. I'm not embarrassed. HE is the one who should be.

I posted this before, but I'll say it again. The GOP cannot (yet) support this issue. They have a staunch conservative base that will never go for it. They will alienate a bulk of people who have been with them since the age of dinosaurs. Did you guys not see the immediate outrage from some of the conservative…

Anyone remember the Sassy articles that featured how to come onto guys? The reporter actually went out and did them. I think in every scenario the guy got terrified and ran off.

Not agreeing with it, but the reason they can't address these issues head on is because they'll alienate their core base. Yes, they keep saying they're going to "reach out" to women but they can't be specific about it. Sure they'll try to connect things that don't have anything to do with each other, "Fewer…

Plagiarism is hard to prove! Unless you've got someone who's really off the rails (Stephen Glass or Jayson Blair or Jonah Lehrer), it all comes down to a matter of one person's word against another. You really need the proof staring in your face as is the case here.

91% of the people who rely on government assistance are the disabled, working poor, and elderly. So, I'm cool with that.

And that's why members of a historically privileged group can't make fun of those who are not. It's why you don't see CEOs roasting homeless people; it's why you don't see a white lawyer making fun of a Hispanic day laborer; it's why you don't see a mayor teasing a bus driver about small paychecks. It doesn't work. …

Okay THIS is satire. Plus I think of this scene EVERY TIME someone says a totally clueless/insensitive/racist comment.

I have to agree with this. It bugs the shit out of me that men tend to change their minds on stuff if it affects them personally. Like if they have a daughter then they're for equal pay whereas before they didn't have much of an opinion. It's like...that's great and all but it's not exactly progress there. I…

Wow. Candy Crowley was number one in my book after the presidential debates. She really went after Mittens on the gender pay disparity issue. Good for her. Now I see this and I think...WTF is wrong with you, woman?!?!? Is she really that clueless? I guess going after Mittens on women's issues is only cool when…

As someone who was raised by Depression-era parents, I've worked hard to overcome the sexism I was raised with. I found as soon as I stopped caring what people thought of me, the better I felt. Sure I get dinged time to time from work about being snappish or rude, but I figure that means I'm getting my point across.…

Oh yeah that's right! She got rewarded with a vacation I think? It's like, "Great, dude, when vacation is over I'm back to being a single mom, struggling to support my family while cleaning up after dudebro happy hours. Cool!" I forgot about that other creepy male manager. The CEO was shocked about that too! …

I remember watching an episode of that show CEO Undercover. Hooters was featured. The CEO was shocked (shocked I tell you!) that some people (not just women) found the name and restaurant offensive. I can't tell if he'd been just so insulated from everything or if he was faking it. His response? "I'd let my…
