I love her frankness about this. I work for a big corporation and the gender diversity at the Sr. Exec level, in particular, has been shitty forever. Ethnic diversity at those levels is not much better. Several months ago, I was on a conference call where our President from time to time does a bit of a town hall with…

WAS. She has since become American. SHE IS ONE OF US NOW AND YOU CAN’T HAVE HER BACK!!! YOU HEAR THAT, CANADA!!! SHE IS OURS!!!

So much of it just comes down to unconscious bias. People see two resumes (or portfolios, or bodies of work, or whatever) and automatically privilege the white guy’s without even realizing they’re doing it. They honestly believe they’re picking the most qualified candidate; they just don’t realize how much race and…

“In the entertainment industry in particular, there are seminars and … work groups about creating diversity when, really, the fucking thing you have to do is just hire people.”

Well, she is Canadian.

It’s interesting how many Bernie supporters I’m seeing believe misandry is a real thing. And wanting one of 45 presidents to finally be female is an example of this egregious anti-male systemic oppression.

She *obviously* needs Matt Damon to explain a few things to her.

I like her personality a lot. The brief promos have been very good. The diversity outreach is outstanding. Love the “female as fuck” tagline.

For feminists, Sanders is probably better than Clinton

It absolutely isn’t replacing misogyny with misandry, and I don’t know where you would pull that from. It’s absolutely not sexism to want to be represented. Do you think all of the African Americans who voted for Obama because he is black and would more intimately understand their experience are racist? It’s…

I don’t think that Bernie Sanders - although I like him a lot and may vote for him in the primary, I’m still undecided - will fight for women’s representation and women’s rights as hard as Hillary Clinton will. He is hyperfocused on economic issues, and has had a hard time actually being more intersectional. Even when…

Right?? Can we please change that stupid repeated line to something less awful already? How about, “there is a special place in hell for women who deliberately undermine women” or “there is a special place in hell for women who hate other women” or “for women who go after other women in ways they wouldn’t go after…

This definitely exemplifies the split between kind of the “old guard” feminism and “new wave” feminism. Because of the work people like Steinem and Albright have done and the progress made because of it, women today have the luxury of not necessarily needing to prioritize “women’s issues” above larger ones. It must be…

Honest question because I want to do this right. I teach (college level), and the first class I always end up doing the attendance list for my seminars - often with first year students I don’t know.

Similar thing happened with a suicidal young woman in Half Moon Bay, CA last year. Her family called in her suicidality for a wellness check, she pointed her knife at officers (as in forcefully asking them to stand back) and they shot her.

Two cops. One suicidal person with a knife. Forget being of some kind of help, if you can’t extricate yourself from that situation without shooting the person, it’s time for a different line of work.

Are police not like trained to shoot people in the leg? Like, I know cops are awful douchebags who run amok on power and don’t think there are ever any consequences to them murdering people (which there never seem to be) but are these idiots not trained in high stress situations to actually think for two seconds…
