In French I think it’s a “parapluie”, which is kind of like paragua except it’s specifically for rain.

Uh, but then it’s a bumbershoot in the UK so I’m not really sure what happened there.

This seems like a pretty big win, so good job making it about you.

You keep 42 gallons of water on hand in your tub?

I don’t know if “won’t give me extra drugs when I ask for extra drugs” is reason enough to drop a doctor.

That’s kind of the issue I have with this stuff. If it’s a “fatally bad” epidemic like the kind that makes for good movies... then what? If I have three days of water or a week of water and it puts me one week further into The Road then that’s not time well spent. I do think having a little bit of food on hand might…

Will we get shots with the rings in the sky like that?

Plus, keeping a stash of antibiotics to use as you see fit is something doctors really frown on.

Well, millenials and the 40-60somethings who have the space and funds to make preparations like these.

Six weeks of water is 42 gallons per person in the household. Where is anybody putting that much water?

Umm, well a lot of commenters are saying that lawyers are salivating for a single proven case of sex based wage discrimination so... I guess maybe they should just read this?

Pretty much all the studies cite that “different careers” as part of the problem.

Yo they took a year off? You sure about that?

Welp, if it’s true for those three gigantic companies then I guess it’s true for all companies.

How many years do you think a woman is taking off? Is it more than like, a month or two? That sounds high.

Ooh damn. You should write the places that say there’s a wage gap and share this study with them because it sounds like this single person has proven all of them wrong. If only they had taken the careful steps that your vaunted professor did.

I just feel like that assumes so much missed work, when most places only offer a token amount of maternity leave, if any.

So if someone with an engineering degree and someone with a liberal arts degree both end up working in the mailroom... who should make more?

So like, a six week break in your twenties is sufficient to account for a 20% penalty over your lifetime? Don’t tell that to people who take a gap year to backpack through Europe.

lol at that last paragraph if you think “mansplaining” has the emotionally charged history of those other two words
