No. They opened an intern program and opened applications to a special all women coding "camp" to entry level positions. These were not women who already worked at Etsy at other positions, it was open to the public and these were people brought in. These were intern to hire positions in entry level.

That's who applied for entry level-intern like positions. What's tragic are the numbers of women who apply for higher and never get hired. Etsy had tech leadership positions open by the way. No women hired there. At all.

Then there's this from last week...Google does a press push on their International Women's Day art. The team that puts it together: 13 men, 4 women. Remember, this is a "arty" job, not a deep technical job. Congrats Google for strategically sitting your 4 women on a 13 person team so we hardly notice that on…

Yes, it's like that. And all the new hire women are clustered safely in the pink-entry level. Somehow no leadership positions were given to women, and there WERE open leadership positions - just all men filled them. It's very reassuring to the men to have a stable of entry level women that they can never promote to…

"I can't imagine why they'd invest this much in new hires only to let them reach that ceiling in a few years."

And they were all basically "from intern" hires. No women in lead positions. There's a pink level of cluster of women there and it's the lowest, nonthreatening level. They are lying to say that somehow they discovered women. That there are no experienced women that could have possibly joined in this intern-cluster…

Somehow...they gave up very, very, very early in attempting to find non-entry level women. Somehow, they could not find any woman for management, architectural, lead work, although they tried very, very, very briefly. Somehow in this effort they early on decided to go all entry level to increase the number of women…

It's always so funny how it's the woman who takes the "fresh start" with a new last name, and that's the excuse that there is no sexism here. Or it's ALWAYS the woman with the ugly last name she wishes to get rid of. Just so happens. Then you don't have to think.

Well, it would be insightful.

You're not in a position to comment on best writers. You've really comforted yourself here so you can avoid seeing bias directed towards women.

You're an ass.

This is bullshit. I love the thing of "occasionally Lena's parents." So, herself and her mom count for the pink side, and then it's mostly dudes who discovered the show was a big deal and now want in on the money. This is like when the first Twilight movie made money, so of course, replace the female director of the…

I'm going to just say it.

I can't read Slate anymore and don't give them the clicks for anything. If you like Amanda, who is the only decent writer, read her on her blog.

You know... It's a given you don't value a woman's body or her right to decide the size of her family or just medical decisions about her womb. You are not pro-life, you don't value life. You also trivialize what it means to be a parent by saying that state-enforced pregnancies are the way to go. There is no more of a…

You don't have to have an elaborate backstory to know when someone is being hit. Or to say it is wrong. It just is. We can judge. A woman, a girl getting beat by her father didn't "have it a comin' to her." What happened was pretty awful, even if a pretty man, so charming, did it.

I wasn't trying to be funny when I said that...a lot of dudes in their sixties start being sexually harassing to women as the beginning of a mental slide.

You know, it's never these dudes that imagine being ball-felt by an older woman or older gay man with any power on the set that they are not attracted to.

If only girls were taught not to begin each comment with "I may be wrong but.." "This may be a stupid question, but..." "Am I the only one who..." "You guys may hate me for saying this, but..." "Don't hate me...." and the biggie, "This may make the feminists mad, but..."
