Pretending to be a man to avoid having your head cut off is not quite the same thing, no.

You know, it would save job hunters, recruiters, and HR people SO much time if they’d just... post a salary range.

“Raising the minimum wage will lead to JOBLESSNESS!” cry the think tanks.

Except multiple places have raised their minimum wage, and none of the dire predictions have actually come to pass.

...Pay approximately the same taxes I did prior to buying a home. Fortunately I wasn’t counting on anything.

I bought a house last year, and got bupkis as far as tax advantage goes. It doesn’t look like that’s going to change, either.

Plus it’s not even true.

Not even 53% of white voting women voted for Trump. 53% of white women who voted and talked to a survey taker voted for Trump. I’m sure you can imagine that that particular demographic skews heavily towards the retired and the loudly ignorant, since younger women with jobs were likely to be voting before work or at…

I hope they keep their hat pins handy.

Darn, I was hoping she was wearing a mech suit, or looked like budget Lady Gaga or something.

Nah, there were some good things in it, but also a lot of bad things - like the entire last act. The Jolly Good Fellow facial hair on the villain was deeply painful. Fortunately it only needed to be better than all the other recent DC movies, and it handily cleared that hurdle.

You know we’re quickly driving most other vertebrate life on Earth extinct, have converted most of the ocean’s biomass into more humans, and have done so much damage to the climate that wars over fresh water are extremely likely to start being a thing real soon, right?

Oh my god, a story on this site about abortion rights that says the word “women”! It’s so nice to not be erased from the discussion with weasel words for a change.

That’s a good reason for a woman to change her name when she gets married, though...

Alas, when I bought last year, I wound up with oil heat. Last winter was hella expensive. I hope the price on solar roofs comes down a lot in the next few years...

Wow, that’s even worse than New Hampshire.

Don’t be silly. Giving birth is way more expensive than buying a house.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie (ugh). All the Bay Transformers movies except the first one, which was solidly “bad but enjoyable”. And of course, the Hobbit, where I could hear the video game music playing during all the fight scenes. It sounded a lot like Donkey Kong.

I see a really distressing number of people climbing New England mountains with no gear. Including an entire cub scout troop once! None of the adults even had a pack, they were literally carrying water bottles!

Insisting on separate men’s and women’s rooms when both are single seaters just results in women having to wait in lines. I say down with it. All single-toilet bathrooms should be for whoever.
