Hmmm...I think perhaps my comment was misunderstood. I'm not sure how my desire to educate people who claim they don't understand or aren't aware of issues of oppression is bad? I'm not saying a specific commenter is responsible for doing the work, but if someone is sincerely asking "what's the deal" about an…

Juerme - if you seriously are interested in learning about the complexities, this is as good place to start: http://www.msnbc.com/melissa-harris… (I'd start with bell hooks) and also search #Solidarityisforwhitewomen on Twitter. That might shine some light.

It's part of the problem, but at the same time, it wouldn't hurt to provide a starting point. I understand the whole "it's not up to us to educate you on oppression" argument brought forth earlier in comments, but at the same time someone needs to educate people who don't know. You provided a great starting point.

I can relate, as mine are thinning thanks to what my dermatologist diagnosed as frontal fibrosing alopecia (Awesome! Yet another rare skin condition!) I did experience some growth when using a Latisse-like product, ELASTIlash by Obagi.

Precisely.

I just saw her perform last weekend in Chicago at Pitchfork and she was by far one of my favorites. It was a great, dance-y, fun time!

I'm doing the same!

It's so controlling and...demeaning? I understand passion isn't always smart, but when people act like Fitz is some sort of "ideal man" (and not just because he is the President) I get really worried.

I've had Bengali, Arabic, and Spanish natives. All have been over 40. Some of their challenges may come from lack of application. Overall they've all been very good at the language but find themselves frequently frustrated with it, which is normal for additional languages. I'm very impressed and jealous of your skills!

It would be ideal, but until then...*shrug*.

Yes. This.

Chair placement is a nonverbal display that is still relevant. Check out Amy Cuddy's research on power posing, it's really interesting and entertaining.

I love Scandal but hate the relationship between Olivia and Fitz, and often feel like I'm the only one. True?

I felt the same in my early 30s. I'm 35 now and starting to feel levels of restlessness over various aspects of my life: relationships (I'm unmarried,) career (I've read your salary tops out in your late 30s, and I'm not pleased with mine,) fitness (I'm active but know I have to work harder to achieve/maintain desired…

I'm an ESL tutor and I've never heard anyone say English is easy to learn. Ever.

Hedges and disclaimers are powerless language markers. If you want to be seen as competent, confident, and powerful, you eliminate them from your vocabulary. The first VP I ever worked for (a woman) told me to never say "I don't know..." in client meetings. At 22, I thought she was being unreasonable. At 29, I totally…
