It’s more likely she was fired because someone in the company said “We don’t want to deal with this. Find something to fire her for.” and the second job was a convenient excuse. Being “in conflict with corporate culture” can mean anything. HR needed a reason, that happened to be what they could peg on her.

“I agree with your reasonable post BUT NOT THE PART ABOUT ANITA SARKEESIAN SHE DID THAT TO HERSELF”

Also, I think companies really need to get out of the habit of firing people because there aren’t enough strongly enforced labour laws and unionised representative bargaining agreements to stop employee abuse entirely.

The main problem with the Internet is that it is an echo chamber. No matter what your views, you will find people who support them.

I think companies really need to get out of the habit on firing people because the internet demands a sacrifice. It only encourages people to continue using toxic behaviors to push their agendas.

This article was awesome. Don’t have much more to say.

Promoting pro-labor policies helps women the most, because women hold the most minimum wage jobs and benefit greatly from worker equity that helps narrow that pay gap. I will vote for anyone who raises ten million women’s wages by 50%.

A foreign policy expert who voted for an illegal war. A foreign policy expert who oversaw spectacular failures of foreign policy (Libya, Syria, Arab Spring non-support). A foreign policy who mucked around in the TPP agreement she helped shape, called the gold standard and now is against when it is politically…

I support Bernie because of who he is, not what he is. I oppose Hillary because who she is, not what she is.

I don’t think Elizabeth Warren is boy-crazy, Steinem. I don’t think far-left women are boy-crazy. I think they’re just socialist.

Pretty horrible, but sums up what many Hilary supporters believe. Somehow because I’m a woman I should be voting for Hilary because she’s one as well. Or I’m sexist because I don’t vote for Hilary. Everyone wants to talk about BernieBros, but Clinton supporters are just as bad (if not worse) when it comes to these…

Lol nah the best days to deliver is during snowstorms. I used to deliver pizzas during college for the Hut in St. Paul MN. Here are my reasons. During bad snow storm pretty much only cops, tow trucks, and delivery drivers on the road. Everyone else is either in the ditch, at home, or going home. Also tips were always…

It all depends on where you are. If you’re somewhere that can handle the snow sure, it’s fine. Just tip more than average. When I delivered pizzas as a kid I would make a fucking killing during snowstorms.

Interesting Slate article about the trauma response in rape victims (and how necessary it is for law enforcement and the general public to understand it).

I went through a similar, though not high-profile experience. I was so angry that I couldn’t box up all the shitty feelings and give it to the person who was causing me pain. Going through it was awful enough...and i just wanted the awfulness to end.

Same. I know a lot of these women and was so angry and felt sick for them, but when it came time to talk about my story with this dude, I clammed up and felt like I was going to hurl and like if I told my story that someone would say something to discredit me (like I was at fault) and no one would believe me. It’s a…

Sorry this happened to you. It's brave of you to talk about and hopefully it's one step closer to shit getting better for women.
