It’s a nice foil to the typical shrieking that occurs when women and minorities achieve anything close to parity (in the case of women, “parity” is perceived by men when women reach 30% representation, after that my do they wail and gnash their teeth).
Okay, paddy, 1) it’s optional. 2) the money goes to a REAL charity. And 3) you seem to be using a ‘bright shiny object’ and ignoring the reality of wage discrimination.

Because they’ll have grown up with…
Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen? SOLD.
The same people who say they want this are the FIRST to bitch that black people are “TOO LOUD”. I met a girl in college on a res hall floor who was SO WOKE but would say my closest friend (who happened to be a first gen college student-turned-MD) was “inauthentic”.
