Well, you were certainly right about me not agreeing with everything she says.

In 1987 Margaret Thatcher declared that "there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families." And what was once seen as the ultimate ideological end of the far right, has now been embraced by many on the 'cultural left' who have reified individual choice into a virtue in

While I certainly want to encourage more women to enter politics, is it really too much to ask that they be competent?

If you mosey on to her blog: http://chelseakrost.com/blog/ the first post is some helpful advice from 'Bill Gates' on how to achieve success. I am, however, *shocked* that it consists only of vague platitudes and yearning for a 'hard work' and was of course never said by Bill Gates at all:

"If this teenage girl were to venture on this site and see how some comments shame her into just 'dealing with it' and how bad her mother is for letting her go through the procedure instead of offering support, I'm willing to bet she would feel just as bullied by these comments as well."

You're probably right about most people using it to try to get up to some judgment, but I'm just saying it's not necessarily a sign of that attitude. It's like wondering what your partner's middle name is or what they looked like in high school, not really relevant, but tied to a desire to know things about a person

I know I've asked questions before, and I didn't care in the least when my last girlfriend had slept with almost thrice as many people as I had, but was still curious to know.

And calling one of them out for being a spoiled privileged asshole is wrong because??

lol

Don't trust all of them! Only the clever ones like me. I don't want to get into too much of a thing, but I see a very large and meaningful distinction between what a woman does in her personal romantic life versus when she chooses to surround herself with an army of producers, advertisers, and executives in order to

Trust me, it is.

I think it's a little insulting to the concept of achievement to use any form of the word 'success' in the title of this article.

Seriously, very well said.

Under the right circumstances driving a car can be deadly.

I don't know where this idea that "violence is never the best answer" comes from, except that maybe it sounds kind of 'nice' and 'responsible' like voting Democrat. Violence comes in a lot of forms beyond a punch to the face, like perpetuating the idea of a rape culture. Cat-calling some random drunk woman and then

Right you are! Of course, the last march and protest against black on black crime that Jesse Jackson led did happen just two weeks ago:

Agreed. While I think it's generally good to be aware of these kind of discrepancies, inasmuch as they are manifestations of the kind of structural sexism that's prevalent in our society, I don't know if getting more women into top positions in hedge funds is really a 'good thing'. I think a better question than
