It’s possible that this show could be that. This article doesn’t go into much detail. I just don’t have high hopes for these kinds of reality shows. Most are scripted and full of frankenbites and cliches. You might be right though, there’s a possibility that this won’t be some generic garbage. Is one show going to…

I totally agree. Part of me thinks this is why Bernie Sanders is popular. He favors how the Europeans run things, and believes the US should mirror certain policies that have served European citizens well. Since the financial crisis, I feel employers have gone overboard in squeezing production out of employees to…

YES. I would read the hell out of that. These companies are downright predatory.

Slaughter never deals with the fact that women who do not have children are still discriminated against in the workplace in pay, raises, work assignments. This is particularly so in highly paid professions. Its not all about the babies and if we could just have nannies and time off then women’s potential would be…

Ahem. I find many of them strangely magnetic.

I give you the dog bun.

why is this not a concern for women, who put our hair in tight buns, ponytails, and braids much more often?

I also think that fundamentally the capitalist system as practiced in America, with its hyperfocus on maximizing results at all costs, operates in concert with cultural stereotypes in a way that is detrimental to women. We teach boys to fight and women to compromise, and the capitalism we practice in this country…

At one job, all I asked was to start a half-hour later in the morning, so that I could drop my son at school and have enough time to get through traffic to not be late. Also, I was working overtime every day, so it wasn’t like I was hustling out the door on time every night.

Actually, we need to separate “work-life balance” from parenthood, or motherhood, so that it applies to everyone. Nobody should be working 60 hours every week, regardless of parental status. We need to make it clear that parents aren’t asking for special treatment when they want to leave the office at 5. Everyone…

I am glad to see elder care mentioned and discussion of “family” leave. Because even if you don’t have children or plan to have children, women also generally end up bearing the responsibility of caring for sick parents/siblings/partners.

Just a suggestion: it would be interesting if Jezebel did a piece on multi-level marketing, which as far as I can see exploits women’s desire to be both successful entrepeneurs and sexy stay-at-home moms. Personally, I think women are being victimized by the idea that a successful woman must 1) run her own company, 2)…

I throw up in my mouth a little bit whenever someone uses the term “alpha male” seriously.

We’re also removed from the multi-generational living that used to exist in our culture. Living near retired parents who can help out is just not the norm anymore. Being isolated from reliable family makes it that much harder to have a work/life balance. I had to start my own business to be able to do it, and…

I think you are projecting a tad... they are probably just hoping for snacks.

Fitted sheath, knee-length (just covering them), 3/4 sleeves, navy blue. Sweetheart neckline. Bracelets. Low-heeled, open-toed wedge shoes in any color you like.

Whenever I *do* have a free week, I always end up sleeping and doing nothing and pissing it all away. What I’d *like* to do is catch up on some videogames and read and maybe draw or write.

So the job I got pushed back my start date a week, so I have an unexpected free week. I plan to do yoga, go to a matinee of The Intern by myself and get a manicure. I will read 2 books, take at least 3 naps and cook good dinners. What would y’all do with a free week?

You seem to be under the impression that healthy food “owes” it to you to taste good. It doesn’t. Your reward for eating healthy is not an enjoyable experience; your reward is not dying at 40.

Anyone reading Vitals is likely to be predisposed towards scientific thought and so we’re all up on the overwhelming benefits of vaccines, but I appreciate how this lacks the “omg anti-vaxxxers are so dumb!” tone that just tends to shut down any discussion we can have with others. Many articles just have a…
