"Four experiments show that gender differences in the propensity to initiate negotiations may be explained by differential treatment of men and women when they attempt to negotiate....Evaluators penalized female candidates more than male candidates for initiating negotiations" http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/cfawis/bowles.…

A lot of research shows that women who attempt to be assertive (specifically in salary negotiations) are punished for it - and it goes as far as not being offered the job or promotion.

We both had the same boyfriend.

You cannot hold a US citizen indefinitely without charging them but given the circumstances (he's in the hospital, wouldn't be able to attend an arraignment at this time, over the weekend, etc.), they're nowhere close to the cutoff here. In most domestic criminal courts, it's anywhere from 48 hours to a week before…

Car loans are usually at pretty low interest rates and can be great for establishing credit. Depending on your circumstances, it might be smart to consider taking out a loan instead of paying cash.

I'd heard that also and it seemed to make sense until my sister pointed out that cavedudes didn't have mirrors. They didn't know what they looked like.

I don't think an apology is necessary. It would be better if you used this information in the future. Perhaps next time you could think about when your opinion about a woman's attractiveness is appropriate to share and when it's better to keep it to yourself. Women's lives are full of distractions because many men…

This is a website where women often discuss feminist issues. Many men wrongly believe that their opinion about whether or not a woman is attractive is relevant to any discussions beyond those that relate to their own romantic partners. If you want to hang out on this website, expect that people will correct you when…

It's not appropriate to come here just to share your thoughts about what "this dude" finds attractive. These women (and women generally) don't exist to decorate the world for you. They aren't your potential romatic partners so your preferences don't matter and you should keep these sorts of comments to yourself.

Jeez, it must be so hard to be taken seriously as a sanctimonious internet racist when you spell things wrong.

http://www.866ourvote.org/ Election Protection is a nationwide effort administered by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. There are call centers across the country and mobile volunteers at hotspots and I encourage everyone to pass it on! There are expected to be upwards of 10,000 volunteers answering…

Please call 866-OUR-VOTE or 866-Ve-Y-Vota if you have any questions or witness/experience any voter confusion, intimidation, or suppression.

I'm gonna be sure to share this with all the teenagers I know who are rotting away in juvenile detention or adult correctional facilities for one mistake. It's fine, everybody - don't worry that you'll be years behind in school, on probation, and marginalized in your community - overcome! Tell that employer not to…

When you stand those two side-by-side, her eyes are SO big and his eyes are SO small. You could make four of his eyes out of her two.

How does he know that no one had a gun? Colorado allows permit holders to carry concealed weapons. Is he suggesting that not enough people are taking advantage of this? The "problem" here is that the circumstances were just as gun advocates hypothesize: crazy guy walks into a crowded room where he can't know who has…

Joico makes a chelating shampoo that I like as a once-in-a-while.

BCBG - I got my bridesmaid's dress for my mum's wedding there.

I have pretty small boobs (32A) and I love Gap Body.

It's where you fold the flat sheet in half and tuck the "bottom" end in under the pillows. That way, it looks like it's normally made but when you go to get in, it's only half as deep as it should be. Like a sheet taco.

I'm not the language police and I'm not gonna get into an arugment about who is allowed to say what and when but it is kind of a bummer to see that in the face of evidence that many of us have allowed pop culture and common use to pervert a once-powerful feminist slogan about sexual violence, reactions are so flippant…
