It IS against the law. Many of these organizations, especially those in the entertainment industry, are ignoring the law.

Unpaid internships, unless they meet very specific guidelines, are AGAINST THE LAW.
No, no, they won't. Yes, there are a few women who have very slim rears who will fit in a men's cut pants, but many women have hips and thighs that the designers for Men's Wearhouse does not take into account, and no amount of letting out the seams will fix them.
Maybe I am uber sensitive because I am in the midst of planning my and future Mr. Underscore's wedding, but I am not a fan of this post. Is any of this stuff my cup of tea? Nope. But the couple obviously put a lot of thought and time into their day—so what if they ate a PBJ sandwich instead of lighting candles? As…
Kids are a lot more aware than we sometimes give them credit. They see TV, hear people talking, hear the radio, etc. You know what's right for your son, but three-years-old is not to young to know something bad happened and to wonder why.
The bar belongs to the venue, so there will be alcohol on display, and we know that a certain uncle of mine will, guaranteed, pass the bartender some cash in exchange for a mixed drink, no matter what we may say. We just didn't want to get in the way of any folks who would prefer liquor. And if we do say no liquor,…
Serious question: We are planning on providing wine and beer at our wedding, but letting word quietly spread that guests who prefer liquor may purchase mixed drinks at the bar. We're having the wedding at a winery, so we'd really like to steer guests toward the wine, which is wonderful. Wedding attendants will be able…
I never had a best friend—not in school and not now. Like you, I have some very good friends, but none of them would ever put me in the "best friend" category, and it seems strange for me to label any of them best friends because of it. Unrequited best friendship? I think I'm a little messed up because, in elementary…
It's different for everyone. It's unfair to compare different experiences—whatever a survivor feels is a valid response, and a survivor who was fully conscious might /not/ feel soiled or shameful about the initial act of violence. For me, I felt the awful loss of agency, but the worst feeling of being garbage came…
You're spot on. I work as a social media manager for a PR agency and I do a lot of tactical planning, copy writing and curation for our clients, in addition to media outreach via social channels.
I am keeping my name professionally, but taking my fiances last name legally. I had a bit of inner turmoil about it—my maiden name rocks, and I didn't want to lose feminist cred—but then by fiance was telling me how his dad's family had a lot of not nice people, and he wants to be the "good one" with that last name.…
Um, no, someone without insurance can't just head over to PP and get the pill for $10/mo.
Right? I saw a waiter in the background and asked my other, "Is that...blackface?" He didn't answer for a few seconds. Then it just kept getting worse.
True story: I just saw Holiday Inn for the first time this weekend with the fiance. I was not expecting the Abraham scene. :/
I can't imagine that OTC availability is going to prevent women from asking their doctor (or the internet) for advice on pills to try if they are unsure. And they are probably still going to be told, "Try X for three months, see if the side effects improve" by their doctors )and "I like X brand; Y brand gave me…
Some insurance plans will cover OTC medicine if it is prescribed (e.g. ibuprofen).
"powerful incentive in people's insurance coverage"
"Lower overall cost doesn't mean ..."
You should definitely read the novel, or go ahead and spoil yourself on the ending. I am not sure how or if they will incorporate it, but it is probably best to go in prepared.
