Maybe the point is to take the amount of money out of the equation and realize that women are getting fucked when it comes to equal pay.

As someone who has been replaced by men multiple times who (in every case) had less experience than me and made more money than me (sometimes twice as much) any discussion of wage discrimination gets my attention. Any discussion.

Yes, they are ridiculously privileged. But this piece smacks a little bit of the “no one should be able to complain unless they have it the unparalleled worst” which is an increasing sentiment. You can feel lucky, #blessed, and check your privilege while still feeling slighted. Especially if you are, you know, being

This is a good point, but it also touches at the crucial difference: if the only solution they put forward is that women need to negotiate more, this will do nothing to help the majority of women who cannot afford to negotiate.

To really negotiate effectively, you have to be able to walk away—if Jennifer Lawrence or

The whole “fight harder” thing is really inappropriate. They have people to do it for them. And when I am fighting, face-to-face with an employer, to be the person they pick for an office job it certainly does not benefit me to “fight harder.” Be it for an extra dollar an hour or healthcare (non-existent from my very

Create the app that let’s me steal power from share power with my friends, then I’ll be impressed.

The horrible thing about Allen is that he does seem to respect and enjoy smart women — but ultimately doesn’t really want to fuck ‘em.

In developed countries like the US, veganism is somewhat of an affectation.

This is probably more of a political marriage than the one between Bill and Hillary Clinton. At least Chelsea never shied away from her father.

Jesus. So Trump has a woman problem because he’s a man who doesn’t like women. Check. And Hillary has a man problem because there are men who don’t like women. Check. And the solution is that she should pander to this?

According to family history, my aunt was a notoriously shy child to the point where she was often scolded for rudeness. I imagine Caroline has a similar situation. I was a shy kid too, who eventually learned how to hide it entirely (so now a lot of people seem surprised when I say I’m introverted—friendly and

...we are loath to deeply criticize women for being superficial, or “fake,” or subservient to an arrangement they chose for themselves—as is, of course, their right.
