I haven’t watched House of Cards, but I do understand that it has been a breakthrough role for Robin Wright, and that she’s very good in it. I feel bad for her that it’s all fallen through it seems for now. Maybe they could have a final season of House of Cards without Spacey that could be a triumph for her. I…

That’s what I was wondering, is the money taxable when you take it out? If so what’s to stop me from saying I was pregnant, starting a savings account, then saying, oops miscarriage?

I have never experienced depression, and I can without a doubt say that I have had bouts of depression this past year. Just moments of being really, really down. Almost to the point where I could care less about anything, because I feel such a sense of hopelessness. Yes work is stressful, but that stress is made much…

These dirtbags all have a look don’t they? Is bad facial hair and hygiene a signifier for sexual harasser? Could be that a man that doesn’t care about his looks isn’t willing to put effort into other areas of social comport, such as basic etiquette. Could be.

Why would a warrant be issued at all? I’m sure you can go to Virginia and find all sorts of crime that people wished was solved and pursued. Here is an alleged “trace” of narcotics on luggage...which has passed through all sorts of hands and storage...if it is indeed even her item at all. You can’t get a cop to pursue…

I’m feeling somewhat energized, to be honest. Finally, finally, something’s happened in which women feel empowered to come forward and decades of literal abuse are getting uncovered and men are finally realizing there are consequences for their actions.

This is why, when I’m walking down a street or hall and people are coming toward me, I don’t get out of the way. The only people who have bumped into me are men. Only a handful apologize. I don’t though.

allege a wide array of inappropriate behaviors, including making passes at employees, unwanted kissing, and groping.

Perhaps Fidelity actually addresses its sexual harassment problem (and maybe because they do have more women in leadership positions) - it sounds like harassers are losing their jobs over it. This makes it appear, externally, that they have a particularly severe problem: “Look at all these people who have been fired…

It’s almost like every part of society has a sexual harassment problem.

So now it’s just he said vs she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said,…

To clarify, these aren’t the subsidies that go to individual insurance holders on the exchanges. These are separate subsidies paid to insurance companies that lose money on the exchanges, to encourage them to stay in unprofitable or high risk markets. The subsidies paid to people who are buying insurance can’t be…

There is definitely something very strange afoot when even someone like Tillerson is willing to grovel at 45*’s feet. This isn’t some mediocre sycophant whose success is completely bound to the favour of a powerful figure. There are plenty of those in politics, but Tillerson isn’t one of them - he doesn’t need…

I came of age in the 60’s and 70’s, when all the rules about behavior and workplaces were different.

They’re also investigating legacy admissions, whereby children of alums have a 30% admission rate, right? No? I. Am. Not. Surprised.

Whenever I think of Harvard I’m like “There’s a school with way too many black kids.” Keep fighting the good fight, you dicks.

except it feels like you do want to victim blame...........

One morning, too late for rush hour but too early for everyone to be up and about, I was in a café having breakfast. I looked around and realized that by pure coincidence every other person there was a woman. I don’t know if anyone else noticed: there were no secret sisterhood handshakes or any acknowledgement. But I…

I was naive and I had hope it was more of a case of her possibly exposing some fraud he committed, and him killing her when he realized she was on to him. But no, it’s another case of man killing a woman all so he can get his rocks off.
