yeah, but he’d look good no matter what they dressed him in.

I think the criticism about their clothes also ignores their budget. I think GG is one of the few shows where the characters’ clothing might actually be believable for their financial situation. Lorelei made dresses for Rory. Rory wore inexplicably bad tank tops off of the Sears sales rack. Them not having a lot of…

Also were an excellent time to acquire (or make your own!) tie-dye.

whoops, I didn’t notice the autocorrect, and meant the hinters are manipulative.

That last line is me exactly. Because most of my character traits take after my father and grandfather (who are/were VERY strong personalities), I often simply forget that the way I behave is so unexpected from a woman. I think without intending to, my family raised me to just genuinely not see the difference, and it…

Well, I think Paul Ryan shouldn’t get a red cent of taxpayer money either, but that’s not up to me.

I’ve been stewing about this too. A man whom I otherwise very much enjoy working with said in my annual review a while back that I’m “too prickly” and need to soften the edges a bit. Now, I know that I’m a very direct person, and I’m un afraid to advocate for the best solutions for my clients, so I didn’t really think…

Why is talking honestly about what she wants (and oh no, several times? Over a period of years?) harassing him? And would have dropping hints been somehow better? Why can’t women talk about what we want in a relationship directly without being seen as harassing, bullying nags?

I think the third-party auditors are being hired to tell the people at the top something that all of the people at the bottom already know, but haven’t been able to effectively communicate. It seems like every company I’ve worked for has had some fundamental flaw that the bosses couldn’t see (or maybe could see but…

This right here is the difference between professionals and creeps. I regularly have to photograph locations before beginning work on them and there are almost always random people present. I try to hang back, wait until they’ve walked past, or at least make sure they’re not the focus of the shot (it’s great to have…

Plus maybe vegans particularly shouldn’t expect great accommodations when dining at a place named after an animal (presumably a dead one).

“true lesbian, or feminist”

Actually thinking about this more, I’m of two minds:

1. Don’t wanna

Truth. I have always been extremely, extremely careful about those things though.

This all sounds so familiar. I dated a 28-year-old when I was 16, and was similarly convinced that I was too mature, too sure of myself, for those words and those rules to apply to me. I didn’t need protection—in my mind I was young and beautiful and invincible. Luckily I came away unscathed, mostly because it…

OK, and also shouldn’t take any job that doesn’t have ideal work/life balance, or doesn’t offer good enough insurance (read: any religiously affiliated company). I hate this line of argument because the list of things you “shouldn’t take the job” because of can easily grow quite long, and it’s not actually that easy…

Also the star of that show in my eyes was always Clair. Phylicia Rashad was so terrific, and Clair was so well written—even without the rest of the show, she stands alone as an icon.

and they don’t lose anything for using wheat flour either. I would not recommend coconut flour though—tried them that way, it was terrible.

I think it’s worth noting that in this case unlike more run-of-the-mill jobs, the problem may be that the men are getting paid absolutely ridiculous sums instead of that the women are getting paid too little. Take the American Hustle profit splits for example—if the three male stars were getting paid 9% a piece, and…
