I was asked in an interview about these things once. I said, "Oh... I feel like I should tell you that's not legal to ask in an interview." The guy was pissed. He finished the interview with a red face and no eye contact. Needless to say I didn't get the job, but I didn't really want to work for him after that anyway.
I feel Kate like you could write a very good psychology paper on how Red Queen is best approximated in mankind via dating apps. Everyone thinks they have the best application, and on average none of them manage to make the experience enjoyable. Most of this is due to the ever new, and always invasive ways "bros"…
Yeah, I can't foresee any unintended consequences of informing men that there's a site that will punish women for not responding to their messages.
"using information like … responsiveness (how often you respond to matches) …"
Good e'en, milady. Perchance thou mighest desire to put my scabbard betwixt thine lips?
Actually, it can get more frugal than that. I work as a business intern in a suit-only company while studying and mingling with contacts to get the real job landed soon after 2015, and while I am not a full consultant yet, I work with them every day and meet the customers and VIPs like they do.
I would love to see a story about women getting into trades - Jez editors, here's your source.
My business partner and I are in the tech industry (we're both founders and are women). We'll go to the huge conferences and all the other women (maybe 10% of the attendees) will be wearing super nice dresses and shoes. We don't own clothes like that, so we'll show up in collared shirts, black jeans, leather jackets,…
I like this guy! Just to add to the points he was making- this also has obvious financial effects as well. Women are expected to wear different and reasonably on trend clothing, shoes and makeup. Men can get by with about three suits, a couple pairs of shoes, a dozen shirts and ties for years!
...he simply proved something we all already know, the double standard women deal with on a day-to-day basis.
I spent about a year and a half working with a program that was based Augusto Boal's theater of the oppressed, which teaches people different methods of dealing with oppression or abuse or discrimination in the moment. We would show a short, maybe 5 minute play in which somebody has something really terrible happen…
I get what you're saying. But, I also think she's working to confront the reality that holding the violator responsible instead of the victim is a change that won't occur overnight.
Creating a change in rape culture will take time, no matter how painfully obvious it is to the rest of us that the culture should change…
We *have* to have men stand up to their fellow men about this. Men who rape do *not* respect women, they will not listen to us and they will not hear anything we say. Pressure from our feminist male allies is the strongest weapon we have to put pressure on this kind of rapist and to force otherwise good men who have…
Friendly reminder that the US edition of Time Magazine sees its readers as idiots and is terrified of covering any issue of substance:
She's got a point, though. I'm so tired of the commercialism of Susan B. Anthony day, and all the tributes to female presidents in January, and the traditional Equal Pay bonus on February 14.
This is how it works: we're too picky when it comes to choosing partners but we're also not picky enough when it comes to choosing partners. We choose on all the wrong criteria and too many areas at the same time. We have low self esteem but think too much of ourselves. We need to stop settling for losers but we need…
