Most of those just look like women with pixie cuts.

I feel bad for her but how do you let an infection fester for 6 MONTHS before doing something. If she really cared about her hair and her health in general she would have done something a lot sooner.

As others have noted, the headline is fallacious. She didn't say that criticism of Allen is 'irresponsible', she said sprinkling the names of uninvolved celebrities into the letter was irresponsible.

I suppose the "Google Alerts" part might be about the possibility that a person would get an alert about Scarlett…

apologists for "worthless cultures"…. says it all

That's just over complicated nonsense.

Yeah, but you can write a book addressing that dynamic without throwing yourself wholeheartedly into endorsing it.

I'm sorry but that study used science which means, as we all know here, is just fat shaming propaganda.

same number as Ive walked my dogs? Fences are a really cool invention. Guess how many times I've had to change the litter box?

The Denver Post one doesn't seem all that racist to me. They probably made the pun in reference to escape velocity rather than escaped slaves.

No. Actually. The study doesn't say that. The study says that assholes are assholes sober or drunk. However, regardless of their own intoxication levels, they only TARGET drunk women.

In South Florida I assume a snow day would start with manic frolicking and celebration until 15 minutes go by at which point we would be in full post-apocalyptic hellscape mode. By noon we would all be in one roving pack of cannibals or another.

Do any of you understand what it's like to be a state prosecutor? To have a victim constantly dodge your phone calls because they don't want to deal with it or can't be bothered? If you are subpoenaed, you have a legal obligation to testify, sometimes at pretrial events such as hearings... to not do so is breaking the…

In all the furor over Common Core standards, things like this—these huge, monumental gaps in learning that happen from so many causes: a teacher doesn't include something in her curriculum, assuming it will be taught the text year; a teacher doesn't teach something, assuming it is far too remedial to spend time…

No... this specific instance was used as an example of gender pay disparity using apples-to-oranges comparisons... which is a tactic I've seen before with gender pay disparity "studies" in the past.

but the mere fact that she got paid equal to or more than her male counterpart is all that matters.

The situations aren't necessarily comparable.

So forgive me if I fail to articulate this correctly as I'm still a little fluey.

Honest, non-troll, and too lazy to do the legwork question here:
What was her predecessor paid when he took the role?
Will it still be higher? Most likely, but it may be at least a bit more equal...
Maybe?
I hope???
please?

Putting aside the logic of comparing someone's pay the last year in a job with the pay of someone who is in their first year of the job, Barra's salary above does not take into account long-term stock options like her predecessor's figure does, simply because now that the US government sold off the last of their GM…
