If I’m not mistaken they will eventually get paid for the hours they worked but not the overtime. It happened to me a couple of times in the military where due to government shut downs we didn’t get paychecks. Luckily we had great military banks, USAA or NavyFed, who would use their own money to issue us “paychecks”…
Remember the people who claimed they were going to vote for him because he was rich and he wouldn’t be corrupted?
So what does this mean, like, logistically? Do people have to work for free? Can they refuse to go to work if they aren’t getting paid? Isn’t not paying people for work they have done...illegal?
High school relationship drama? Wow, you are really invested in downplaying this, for some reason. This woman got PTSD from her husband gaslighting and emotionally manipulating her for 20 years. He used his feminism to downplay his interactions with other women (“it’s because I am such a feminist, I just LOVE women…
He emotionally abused her, not to mentioned exposed her to 16 years of potential STDs, to the point where she experienced PTSD. Sure you can be a feminist and cheat—it just means you’re a SHITTY feminist. And a terrible person.
So in summation you can treat women (because ex-wifey said herself and you are now talking community level) like shit and still be a feminist?
Arguably, he put them there by being a cheating, gaslighting, reputation-shellacking douchebag. She just refused to keep covering for him.
Did you actually read her letter? She’s not saying her husband cheated. She’s saying that he gaslighted her for 20 years while he was a womanizer. There’s a big difference between committing infidelity and doing that. She says that she’s been diagnosed with complex PTSD since piecing together the truth.
You really think she wouldn’t have gotten as much snark for speaking about the infidelity DURING the divorce? C’mon. It would have been a cavalcade of “Bitter ex just saying things bc she’s mad! Bad on many sides!”
Is cheating wrong and douchey? Yes. Does it mean he’s not feminist? Come on, is that even a serious question?
Yikes. It’s not the cheating, it’s how he is BLAMING the women he cheats with for not being able to keep it in his pants. Like own your own choices, Whedon.
Why are you apologizing? (S)he demeaned the wife by saying writing her thoughts in public is equivalent to being a 14 yr old. You pointed out the ridiculousness of putting the onus on the cheated on person for keeping their mouth shut, which is at least tangentially the same thing as calling a grown ass woman 14 for…
You doth protest way too much. At the very least, he led a life wildly inconsistent with his so-called feminist principles. Can’t do monogamy? Fine. But don’t be a coward and keep the fact that you’re a serial cheater secret from your wife — thereby depriving her of what should be her choice as to whether she…
Applogies - I’m honestly not attacking, your post just provided a convenient place to vent about an issue that had been bugging me since the Sprouse cheating post. It just seems like snark at the cheated-on for speaking up is weirdly common, and criticism of cheaters often an afterthought at best.
But can you be a feminist and a womanizing cheater?
Eh, do you really think she should just slink off into the night?
I forgive her because she lived through sixteen years of her husband being lauded as a feminist god friend and champion paragon on virtue while he was actually screwing around on her. I would be pretty pissed off too.
Yeah? Feminists blame the beautiful, needy, aggressive young women for their affairs?
