Ok, that was not my point at all, but thanks for explaining the graph to me?

Basically employers are discriminating against hiring women for specific jobs because they know they will get protected leave. Women were more likely to end up in lower paid, non-management positions and it was more difficult for them to move up. Even with paid paternity leave, culturally, men are still far less…

I don’t have access right now to my specific sources (although most of them are very long studies and behind a pay wall). You can find a lot of information about occupational gender segregation and its relation to the gender wage gap though. For my thesis, I was researching different causes and solutions of the gender…

Unfortunately, parental leave is extremely important, but it is not a solution for fixing the gender wage gap - it actually makes it worse. I did my thesis on the gender wage gap, and if you look at countries with strong parental leave policies, they actually have a higher gender wage gap because they have more…

Yikes!

When I got engaged my mom always lectured me in front of my fiance that he was going to be “the head of the household” by virtue of having a penis. We’d just share a knowing glance and laugh. Now I use it against him though. Can’t decide what restaurant to go to? Oh honey, you have to pick because you’re the head of…

Wtf, still has feathers attached?! It’s actually normal though to find all the organs inside the cavity, if that’s what you mean. It’s common to make the stuffing with them.

I know I often blamed you for your behavior, and didn’t realize until I attacked you, I was broken.

Thank you, I will continue to write from the comfort of my high-end apartment that I can inexplicably afford by writing comments on blog posts!

Not to mention the drought and increasing temperatures have also caused the bark beetle population to explode and they are killing off huge numbers of trees.

And here I found myself, in a support group filled with fabulously dressed widows, all wearing strappy Manolo sandals and delicately pulling out a tissue from their Louis Vuitton purses. I couldn’t help but wonder, in a city as chaotic as New York, are we all destined to murder our husbands?

Wow, that was like every episode of ANTM condensed into one short video.

Yeah, I’ve definitely changed my wardrobe and I’ve changed my hairstyle too.

That is horrible!

I’m fairly young in my profession as well and I always see shocked faces when I say what my role is and that I’m not “someone’s spouse.” Sometimes people point blank note that I’m young and ask what my experience is like I have to prove to them that I’m qualified for the job. It’s gotten to the point where I actually w…

The whole thing can pretty much be summed up as, “It was a paycheck.”

This after his incredibly insensitive comment about who’s to blame for the fires while they are still looking for the bodies. I guess someone must have tipped him that Northern California is where his fan base lives.

Sorry, but Europeans smoke wayyyyy more than Americans do, so you can’t really say our laws aren’t working. I also don’t see how using e-cigs is quitting, you’re just changing the method (which is possibly even worse since we don’t have longterm data on them yet). Everyone I know who moved to e-cigs to “quit” smoking…

It’s all just speculation and I don’t think anyone will ever get him to admit that he’s in the wrong, but I think most people would be happy to see him just go away. That’s not justice, but that’s where desperation leads people.

A relative of mine recently bought a house and realized the chimney was blocked. They had someone come look at it and there were literally thousands and thousands of acorns in it that the squirrels had been hoarding. They blocked it off and now all the squirrels are insanely pissed.
