Thank god we have a victim-blaming man’s opinion here! I mean, if only she’d look into it a bit more, she’d see that the men have it just as bad! Oh well, what more can we expect from some “moron” who just wants to be treated like a human being?

Hi! Fellow senior level QE here. I’ve had the same problems with suppliers getting offended that a woman had the nerve to question them. My male bosses had no such issues.
I’m an engineer, and I took my first post collage job as the economy and job market was just starting to crawl out of the toilet in 2012. I was hired at the same time as a guy who was also a recent grad. We both had engineering degrees, but due to said economy we were admittedly over qualified for the technician jobs…
Despite the supposed lack of pay gap in engineering, I found out less than a week ago that I’m paid the same as our fresh out of college dudes. I’ve been an engineer for five years. I tried negotiating my salary 15% higher before I hired on and I was flat out denied. This is at a company that loves to beat a drum…
It’s so strange how fathers are never to be punished for abortions. I’m sure it’s just a right-wing oversight.
“It’s just a lone, boney middle finger,” — Grandma was sassy to the very end.
He tells that story like it doesn’t prove why the metoo movement is necessary.
Wow. I mean, that’s fucked up in and of itself, but for a businessperson to deal with customers like that seems like an extra layer of asshole.
I knew a (now very huge and popular) business coach who would say that any time a customer made a legitimate complaint about her services (for example: when she literally did not provide some of the services that people had paid for, i.e. a certain number of calls, a certain number of in person coaching sessions,…
“What you’re seeing is people making themselves significant by making somebody else wrong. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It just won’t make you happy. It won’t make them better. It won’t make you better.”
#metoo isn’t MAKING somebody else wrong - they already are wrong. And if he thinks “It won’t make them…
What is this coveted status Tony Robbins and George Will seem to think accusers enjoy? These turds think Anita Hill or Rose McGowan or Andrea Constand are walking around with a #MeToo punch card where if you accuse nine high profile men of sexual misconduct, you get a free mani/pedi with the tenth accusation.
You are bang-on. I have been going over this with students these days, because a handful of them seem to think that freedom of speech means you get a forum. Freedom of speech means freedom from political censorship—which means that your government can’t arrest you for simply promulgating an unpopular opinion. But the…
Maher has always espoused true Libertarianism, the delusion that the world is a meritocracy, so, given that white men are in charge, it proves they’re just naturally better than everyone else. Any challenge to that, say, by identifying sexism in terminology or racism in casting or looking at the biases inherent in…
Maher empathized after his own advertising boycott and firing from his ABC News show Politically Incorrect in 2002. The argument:
Bill Maher is a less successful Piers Morgan.
i can’t even be mad. i clicked into this article. i read it. i did this to me.
Crossing my fingers that a rogue yearbook staffer puts her photo back in the yearbook right before the pages go to the publisher (as a former yearbook staffer in high school, sticking it to the administration is a cause near and dear to my heart).
i know it’s a low bar to clear but the fact that her classmates are so immediately and vocally standing up for her just makes me so happy
Starred for making me think of Auntie Mame, which is never a bad thing. I wish I could star it again for using the scene with Joanna Barnes, who always makes me think of The Parent Trap, no matter what I am watching her in.
