It’s only sour grapes if it happens once or twice. When it’s systematic, then it is not sour grapes. I bust my ass here - first in, last out, trying to drag this company into this millennium (they still do an annual “book closing” process that was rendered obsolete when companies stopped keeping their numbers in…

Aw, I’m sorry. I experience this too - despite being the second-highest ranking finance employee at our company, I am routinely left out of meetings and projects. You know who gets invited? Our gorgeous new employee, a recent grad and entry-level accountant.

Pull up a seat, Maggie!

If they’d hired her, you know people would talk about how refreshing it was to see an “age-appropriate pairing.” I feel like in Hollywood once you’re a woman much over 35, they consider you “age appropriate” for anyone under 80.

This article talks about the phenomenon in Hollywood where men age and women don’t pretty effectively, with charts!

Also from the AFA’s dumbass petition:

I have read a few different articles written by social-worker types who work in cities that got smart. They’ve proven that it’s cheaper to pay for people to be given housing and support services than to treat them in emergency rooms when they get sick and injured on the streets or put them in prison. Most will get…

I found myself surprised that I was upset that during the rape they showed only Theon’s face. The only thought I had was “way to make a woman getting raped all about how a man feels.”

where I realized how shitty the world could really be.

THIS. Male candidates are expected to have families and use them, but then Hillary is being accused of ‘using them to soften her image’. Sure, she might be doing this, but so has every fucking male candidate since the actual dawn of time.

I thought maybe I’d be sad about Mother’s Day because this is my first one as a single mom, but I decided to take it as a Treat Yo Self weekend. It has been AWESOME. New pinata cake pan? TREAT YO SELF. New nail polish even though you have a billion? TREAT YO SELF. Entire afternoon off from parenting to prepare for a…

First, let me say that I KNOW I’m taking this way too seriously...BUT! She’s no feminist icon. She’s overwhelmingly selfish, materialistic and spends an inordinate amount of time trying to trap some dude, er, frog into marrying her. Pass.

I've said more than once that anyone who claims that they are humanists rather than feminists don't actually understand what either of those terms mean. It's like saying that one is a Buddhist rather than an anthropologist.

The modern day “Tea Party” is little more than a group of upper middle class white people who think paying their fair share in taxes is some sort of personal infringement, that any regulation regarding guns is wrong and that religion needs to be the centerpoint of all teaching in schools. They largely want the…

LaChanze is a singer/actress and starred in my favorite Broadway musical, Once on This Island. She’s black and was pregnant with her second child when her husband was killed with hundreds of other Cantor Fitzgerald employees on September 11th. She has since said that one of the first thoughts that crossed her mind was…

I grew up without a father. I grew up aware that that conferred a lot of negative stereotypes. Why are single mother households always held responsible for every social problem and systemic inequity? Why is this bullshit always spewed whenever something goes wrong?

I love how when people destroy property because their sports team won, sports team lost, or because of a pumpkin festival, they’re just “rowdy fans” or “revelers”.

They don’t work for me and always ooch up turning into a weird undergarment belt
