unlike the husband, while not the total worst, you know from the beginning she should not marry him.

I want to lean back. ;)
Yeah, but I’ve been specifically “attacked” by one woman when she asked me what I was doing to volunteer for the school play when she had double booked her volunteer session with work — and when I said my husband was doing the volunteering duties for the family, she glared at me, “No, it’s x hours for each parent.” …
OMG that blog (tumblr, whatev, I’m an old) about Nino Sarratore is hilarious. He is pretty darn despicable — but so are most of the men in this book. (And a lot of the women too.)
But Wesley is there. Wesley, who was in only one season. So why not BD Woodside? (Who is much hotter than Wesley anyway)
This. Exactly. It excludes women from advancing, being mentored, or having more connection with the people women work with if they are men.
I hear she’s becoming recognized more and more.
I agree — I think it was programmed by Arnold.
well, yes, because that’s how insurance works! You pay for coverage for things you may not ever need!
Reading the recaps was more revealing then the show frankly.
Yes. I watched the whole thing, had no idea what was going on. Could not understand Tom Hardy half the time. Was the magic real? Did he go to deepest darkest Africa and learn some sort of African magic/sex magic (I am being sarcastic here, this part made me roll my eyes so hard). I did find the issue of his guilt…
Yes! It’s laugh-out-loud funny and also poignant. The essays are wonderful. I still giggle about her experiences in Samarkand and the Tolstoy estate.
That is so interesting. You should definately read it again. Even though I have not experienced as radical a change as you, I do get different things every time I read a book because I’ve aged/changed.
Yes, I recall that too. And all the Jews were supposedly shipped off to Israel. Repression of women/enforcement of a law based on religion was all tied to Christian white supremacy.
oh geez, now DT is going to say he was right, the Jews did it to themselves.
So agree with this. that’s why she’s in all those meetings with world leaders.
We noticed the deposition of an expert for Monday. they had already produced some documents — what we thought was all the expert’s documents - then decided to dump more on us on the Friday evening before the deposition. So, it did need to be reviewed that weekend to see if anything could be used, or we would have to…
OF COURSE! (I offered to do it on Saturday — it did need to be done during the weekend for a monday depo — but she said she would do it.)
This. Sneaking out because I have to pick my kid up at preschool by 5:30. I can work as hard as I can but the mere fact that I am seen leaving “early” is a black mark. I never miss a deadline, I give partners work product early, I manage the case BUT STILL ..... At one firm I had a big fight with a childless woman…
Exactly! (frankly, every firm I’ve worked at.) I’ve know women who have waited to have kids until after they made partner, because if you have kids before you are relegated to permanent associate position because you are not serious about the firm. (if you keep your job) Or you get penalized because you take…
