Urgh, I know, isn't it the worst? I hate complaining about other women like this- but honestly, ladies… we can be very very hard on eachother.

Thank you for writing this, I found your observations really interesting. As a soon to be new grad RN this coming May do you have any advice for someone who does like to foster those close workplace relationships but hates drama? I feel like every floor I have been on I've seen this and I absolutely hate that this…
Oh my gosh I have soo much to say- I work in Human Resources for the Health Authority and I have to agree with the findings of this study. However as someone who works in the operations (not policy!), I would argue this is kind of a non-story. The same barriers that prevent women from competing in other fields are at…
Teacher here weighing in. Yes - some administrators might not do what they're supposed to. Some teachers may not do what they're supposed to. It's disgusting and embarrassing when adults don't intervene. I can't tell you the number of times I tried to report, contact home, intervene, involve administrators and was…

I've had many of these conversations over the past several months. And I've been trying to sharpen my perspective on this problem, the problem of the "how do I help," question. I offer these comments with compassion and great respect for your commitment to children and families:
Just help. Just do what your…
lol yes god bless the future of every single person who reads this and immediately ricochets into "BUT WHAT ABOUT ME"
Every time I read an article explaining how white people who think they are helping really aren't... this is the response from so many white people. "I don't know what to do then, maybe I should just do nothing?" If we stay inactive with the excuse of "not accidentally making things worse," we're letting the racist…
Did you even read this? Nobody is asking you to apologize. This isn't about you. The fact that you managed to be offended by this piece is a testament to just how much you don't get it.
I am a good white person. ... And do you know what? I don't see a need to apologize for it.
I went on a long, romantic dinner with this comment. This comment gently stroked my hand as I told this comment about my long, tiring day at work. This comment walked me down to the beach and laughed at all my jokes. This comment sat with me as we watched waves roll in, sharing embarrassing but hilarious stories from…
If "bootstraps" fucked a yogurt commercial, the bastard offspring would be "Love yourself more."
