This is bullshit and is NOT like Kevin Bacon.

They're just scrabbling for something, ANYthing, that'll make it sound OK to keep omitting femaleness in merchandise. It's like when those racists bend themselves into knots to make it OK for them to use the N-bomb. Sheeez. "But focus-groups!" isn't gonna fly in this one, though, so they're hoping we're stupid enough…
Didn't this one also have really high female viewership? It makes no damn sense! You can't even make the whole, "BUT THE FOCUS GROUPS/MARKET RESEARCH SAID SO!" excuses.
DO YOU HAVE A DIVERSE ASSORTMENT, ASSTURDS? DO YOU REALLY?
They had actually tested the Gamora version of the shirt with boys and found that it gave them a case of the cooties.
This is why companies like Disney are constantly having to do sweeps of the independent geeky sellers on Etsy and other sites. They've left this horrible void open because of their sexism, and then when people swoop in to fill it, they issue legal threats. It's ridiculous and stupid.
Fuck that! Gamora was awesome! Girl or boy, I'd be pissed that they left Gamora off.
DISSENTING OPINION: I remain convinced Gaston is one of those dudes with a tragically enormous dick, who thinks that his huge schlong means he has to do zero work in the sack. He just bumps your cervix for five minutes then rolls over and congratulates himself for being such a superior cocksman.
Well, to view it consensually you would have to click on a descriptive link first. Given that's not how the comments works, I'd say that's a no.
Being non-consensually assailed with violent, graphic imagery of rape porn is not even close to the same thing as voluntarily looking at porn that appeals to you.
Yes, we will do that on the same day that anyone gives a shit about what you think.
No one's slick as Gaston
Yeah, people tell her she's better off, but the thing is, she's not. Doucheface has a job, and she doesn't.
I've noticed that "cool" startups are some of the MOST hostile environments for work and family stuff. They can't legally say "it's a bona fide work requirement for everyone to be young, hip, get all of our cultural references and be able to drink beer late into the night pretty much whenever" - but their hiring…
Isn't that illegal?
This happened to my sister literally last week. She was interviewing for a job, and the awful brogrammer guy with the ironic sweater/hat combo guy was interviewing her, and he actually said she could have a flexible schedule, and she said great, and then she said something about her kids, and he suddenly said, oh,…
I'm sure you're already aware that you're very fortunate in this regard. It amazes me how inflexible some employers can be. I went to work for a startup in 2008, when my daughter was entering preschool. I put in the long/crazy hours for 2 years, climbed the ladder, and by the time the company was on stable footing, I…
Agreed! Hope the message starts to get out there more. Of course, it won't work for every role and every individual. But as I said, I'm in sales. If I'm hitting my numbers, my company is making a lot of money from my work. And I'd been with them for 5+ years when I made the request, so my work ethic and loyalty…
For fucks sake, if you need a day off that bad, schedule one off or tell me and we'll make it work...
I got (begrudging) approval to work remotely around the time I had my daughter. We were living in a big, expensive city, and were facing 1.5-year wait lists for ($2k/month) daycare. Husband got a job offer somewhere with a lower cost of living, and I'm in sales, so my job should allow me to do it from anywhere I…
