A clear example is the whole kerfuffle back in 2013 when it was discovered that she/her Lean In company was looking for an unpaid intern.

Ah, the Peter Liang defense. “Yeah, I shot him, but you guys NEVER discipline the white people who do the same thing!”

Your’re also saying these people don’t have any family or friends concerned enough to spend a few minutes researching help for them. That’s what I’m reading into your statement. How do you reach such people?

...I can’t even imagine what kind of magical mind you must have in order to see EVERYTHING as a diet book

Alright all you amazing women: tell me your stories of when you *did* ask for a raise and got it! Especially long shots that you weren’t sure about. Share your strategies, rationale, etc. I’m in my 20s and even thoug I know how you’re “supposed” to ask for a raise, I'm still not sure how it's done in the real world.

I think it’s more that they just don’t care...they’ve been training at the gym earlier at other things for MMA stuff. Once I grabbed this dude that had been prepping all day for an upcoming fight and INSTANTLY regretted it. It was like jumping into a pool of sweat/BO. I was bathed in it and also traumatized for life.

This was basically 90% of the reason I could not continue Brazilian Jiu Jitsu after taking a few classes...my god, the smell. THE SMELL.

Still better than David Brooks.

I don’t know if that’s 100% what’s happening here. A lot of people I know don’t give a shit about what he’s doing sexually - it’s the fact that he seems almost completely incompetent in terms of handling it, for...going on years now. If he can’t even handle this small and pretty much inconsequential thing and let it…

I am not even close to rich and famous and I’ve heard people talk/write like that. Yes, I do know a lot of annoying people.

...you think Michael Jackson hasn’t had accusations? Also, a google of “Kobe Bryant Rape” brings up like...a ton of hits

Recently, an acquaintance who owns a small business told me she dreads seeing customers pay with a rewards card because it means the credit card companies take a bigger cut of her sale.

Make her own choices based on that decision and their relationship, which may be 1. Staying with him or 2. Breaking up with him? It's not exactly rocket science

“I would never have gone into religion otherwise.”

Tangentially related: how do you know if a recruiter is worth his/her salt or not? What differentiates a good recruiter from an okay but mostly useless, or a bad one?

PREAAACHHH. I feel like this sentiment extends to many “progressives” - they don’t want equality. They just want to punish someone and “win” because they lost for so long.

I didn't realize that men were being overwhelmingly raped or attacked by men and weren't allowed a space that would be free from that.

lol thanks

Recently I met this woman (not as a psychic, as someone my family knows). She did art stuff and heard I did art stuff and wanted to meet me. She is very religious and involved with Christian God, which made it all the more weird when in the middle of our conversation she asked to see my hand. I thought it was a…
