Thanks for writing this. This has been a very stressful time, and you capture a lot of the thought loops really well. You’re doing a great job. My condolences about your comment section.
I nearly lost my kids because I truthfully admitted in court that my ex had raped me.
Probably because she said “no,” “let’s chill,” “next time,” and “I don’t want to feel forced” along with probably dozens of non-verbal cues that she wasn’t into it. And he’s a grown ass adult with no cognitive or social impairments that we’re aware of, so I think he can be expected to know and adhere to the basics of…
Did you read that piece in The Atlantic expressly calling the account of Ansari’s gross, borderline rapey behavior “3000 words of revenge porn”? Wtf is this shit? Women are weak now, compared to the certain strength of gen-xers? I don’t buy that shit for one minute.
I had to step away from most internet comments and deactivate my facebook profile because I was so angry and frustrated by the constant deluge of “that’s not real rape.” Men claiming they need to read women’s minds to know if they’re into giving a blowjob. Older women saying they simply never would have been in such a…
You’re just saying that because the green one is the female M&M, male M&Ms matter too. /s
“Airing of grievances”
If they are hiring temps but failing to give you guys similar pay, I’m not sure there is much you can do. This seems to be a company policy, one that is echoed through the US and other countries, where greed is the order of the day.
If you can, do an inventory of all the work you’ve done, specifically around successes and big wins that contributes to what the company and your boss cares about. Have some hard numbers to back up your ask.
I found out Thursday that the management line about “You’ll still get paid for lunch, but we need you to clock out for lunch just in case anyone asks for proof that we gave you a lunch. You’re still on call for those 30 minutes though” means a functional pay cut for us. We work a 9 hour shift and used to get 40…
I’m sort of bummed with Jez currently. The commentariet seems to be taken over by a lot of dudes who get in first to mansplain all the sex shenanigans, give their hot takes on Trump etc., and generally dominate the threads. This really used to be a place for women to give their opinions, reveal their stories, and…
Yes! I was being hassled in public at a music event by some old dude who “was just trying to be nice why are you getting mad!?!?” yet wouldn’t leave me alone. Dozens of people were within spitting distance of us but I couldn’t catch anyone’s eye for assistance. Some amazing petite woman about 7" shorter than me walked…
“The majority of women in the workplace are not tender creatures and are largely adept at dealing with all varieties of uncomfortable or hostile situations,” Roiphe wrote in the New York Timesin 2011. “Show me a smart, competent young professional woman who is utterly derailed by a verbal unwanted sexual advance or…
He’s probably been hatefucked at least once.
The women in his workplace are thankful for that.
It is all part of the victim blaming. This is just like women saying “well it never happened to me so it must be something you wear/project/do”.
This was written by an idiot 25 year old douchebag. Disregard this entire troll post.
Would you expect Rick and Morty fans to respond reasonably and rationally when a woman criticizes that show’s creator?
I want to yell this little monologue at him. The bad things you do are you, and you can’t do shitty things and think that feeling bad exonerates you.
