Hey, it’s white woman-ing 2.0. Why call the cops when you can have them surround you at all times?

If you have to spend this kind of dough on protection from protesters, maybe it means you aren’t fit for the job?  Common sense says she should resign?  Immediately?

Laughing while kicking things.

I experienced something once. But then a man told another man that he wasn’t aware of my experience, so the other man explained to me that I hadn’t actually experienced it. I can’t wait for my first real experience!

Replying to myself to respond to less than stellar posts so I don’t go bringing out grays that don’t need to be.

Seriously, when Mike Cernovich is telling you to delete your Tweet, you done messed up.

If that same photog took a picture of her in rags, these very same douchecanoes would be mocking her or criticizing her for not meeting “expected standards for a lawmaker” or whatever. The whole thing is a farce. Drop-kick these people into the goddamn sun.

“Were there any intern or spouse events today?”

I just googled him. Apparently he’s friends with the Mooch?  I can’t figure out what earned him a check next to his name.  

When I was in sixth grade, I was singled out by the kids in my class for bullying, on the grounds that I wore Reebok sneakers matched with Nike socks. It stopped when one of the kids reached down to try and pull up my pants and see what my socks looked like, only for me to try and kick him in the face.

When Carol Moseley Braun was elected to the Senate in 1993 – and mind you, she was 46 at the time - a Congressional security guard tried to throw her off the “members only” elevator the moment she walked on. Not until she showed her ID did he back down.

I’m a former Hill staffer. There are zillions of events going on on the Hill at any given time. My boss had trouble knowing every damn event on her own calendar let alone everything else that might be happening. There’s no way any one Member can confidently* say that there are no intern or spouse events going on at…

1. Does he even know what a bunion sorry, ‘bunyon’ is?

These are people who think you need voter ID to buy cereal.

When men ask what microaggressions are, this is a good example, because it happens over and over and over. Grace Meng is right on the money. Let’s make this the new normal.

Yup. I’m a professor. My office is right next to another (male) professor, and if I had a nickel for every student who walked through my door asking if I could schedule an appointment for them with Prof. Nextdoor, I would be a wealthy woman.

Girl, I hear you. I’m a lawyer, I’m still relatively young, and I’m small, so I’m always mistaken for being much younger (not that I mind, usually). When I went to my first hearing at a new courthouse a couple years ago, the security guard thought I was there waiting for my parents. :( Granted he was like 80, so I prob…

There’s this thing called an expected standard of dress. Anyone who’s worked in a job that required more than “business casual” knows that fancy clothes are often a necessity to be taken seriously, and nowhere is that more true than in high-end public service... like politics. Those kinds of clothing expenses become…

I buy pretty inexpensive suits, shirts and ties. They look fine for a bit but they don’t last because they are cheap. That’s why they are cheap, not because of what they look like.

That shoulder bag she’s carrying seems to be leather. You’d think someone who doesn’t have money would carry her things in a plastic Dollar General bag! And look, she’s wearing shoes! For someone who claims to have limited means, having shoes seems like a bit of a luxury.
