Thanks for bringing this up. It's amazing how so many people only associate India with the phrase "caste system" and don't care to learn anything beyond that. Sheesh.

This makes me want to puke. As much fun as it's been doing the whole sports bar, tailgating, getting worked up over stupid shit sports-fan thing, I think I'm done. Football, you are the Justin Bobby to my Audrina.

Whoever smelled it, expelled it. Sorry, bro.

A young woman said this on the first day of my class on RACE AND EDUCATION. No one said anything to her about it, but she dropped the class (thank goodness).

Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you for handling this story with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Due process and proper (legal)consideration of the issues occurs in the courts, but not the legislature. The lege is all about politics, and the politicians pushing this bill do not care about women's health one bit. They are simply ensuring that they get the votes of the anti-choice fanatics when they're up for…

"We go door to door to get people registered and shuttle those working lots of jobs and without transportation to vote. Voter turnout in Texas is crazy low."

Houston is one of the most diverse metro areas in the country and is in Harris County, which is super Democratic. They currently have a lesbian mayor, Annise Parker. Unless you live in a tiny, tiny town, your future kids and you…

So you ate a cupcake?

Olivia disapproval and disappointment gifs AHOY!

First of all, no laws are being discussed. These companies are being asked to join an international accord that has some legally binding elements to it. They're not under any obligation to join the accord, so the accord itself is not a reason for them to move manufacturing to another country.

Thanks for continuing to report on this important issue, Jenna. Excellent post.

I think it's pretty obvious from the comments on every article on sweatshops that many people would like to purchase ethically-produced foreign goods but simply don't know where to find them. Are you really shaming everyone for not knowing about a Kickstarter project that launched like 2 weeks ago? That said, now that…

This is like something out of The Crying of Lot 49. Love it!

I don't disagree with you. I was trying to find something to help educate the lovely folks who keep insisting the gender wage gap doesn't exist at all, but I agree that it's not the most effective graphic if it's implying that "unexplained" means discrimination only.
