Do older men also face discrimination because they may get prostate cancer? Do young men who have long distance relationships face discrimination because they may move away to be with their SO at some point? Do obese people face discrimination because they may suffer a heart attack and have to take a leave of…

That's fair, but whether it happened or not, you know that these conversations are happening everyday all over the world. It doesn't need to be IBM specifically... if the comments under this article show, you don't need to be in HR to believe that women are less deserving of jobs than men because uterus's. It's worth…
Yes, this. When anti-choicers try to make themselves look reasonable by so graciously conceding that women should be able to abort when it's due to rape or incest... it just shows that they really think pregnancy should be a punishment for women who have sex voluntarily. If it was really about "life", it shouldn't…
Fair enough... but these attitudes that she is reporting are not made up, the words they allegedly spoke have been said all over the world from male and older female bosses all too often. Gender bias in hiring is a widely documented thing.
You're right, deeply ingrained biases against young women that stall or prevent them from getting the jobs they're qualified for isn't a real problem at all.
My uncle, who is responsible for some of the hiring within his company, told me this exact same thing, to my face (as a 23/ 24 year old woman) conversationally, as if it was nothing that could possibly offend me.
Riiight, because this attitude among older businessmen is soo wildly implausible that it must be made up. Evil, feminists.... always conspiring!
Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that most commenters are defending this. I just can't get past his stupid face as he devours these women with his eyes while they dance their hearts out, trying to impress his penis. I don't care how many other women are in the room with him, that doesn't make this any more progressive or…
Ooooohhh anti-choice birth workers are the worst. Nothing annoys me more, nothing could be more hypocritical. A fellow doula (and nurse!) on my Facebook posted about the Tennessee ruling that would criminalize mothers who used drugs during their pregnancy with the attitude of "Good. They are terrible mother's anyway,…
Oh, I do it as well. There's a couple of white guys on my Facebook that are always posting about stuff like sexual harassment and rape, etc. and seem to have a good grasp on the subject, and a genuine care about being better and promoting change among their male peers. I like... LOVE THEM. I feel sooo grateful to them…
Totally. So smarmy.
White dudes get cookies for merely being decent human beings all the time... I can't see this being any different. It's so refreshing to meet a white guy that doesn't deny their privilege and man/whitesplain everything that they seem super awesome by comparison. :(
"Beauty has no expiration date".... So is he trying to say that fit, conventionally attractive women are still beautiful even when they're in their mid 20s - early 30s? Gosh, thanks Pharrell!!
I live in Edmonton and have spent lots of time in Calgary. I have never encountered (nor have I EVER heard of this happening to anyone, not even a friend of a friend of a friend) street harassment from feminists because I'm betraying my gender by wearing pants (lol that makes literally zero sense). Nice try though,…
