Doh!

I feel certain this site used to draw smarter naysayers. This one is a disappointment.

The subject is the entertainment industry, which is a considerably smaller cohort.

Because men are obviously so much more valuable, world without end? Also, why does it matter to the mass of actors if the top dude manages to justify drawing a higher salary than the top woman? The disparities are built in at all levels, but nobody can have parity because of that one guy? It makes no sense.

Not the market. The status quo. Or maybe we could think of what’s happened as collusion and price fixing on a grand scale.

I think you’re onto something here. My thoughts are complicated. I know this because I have access to them, even if I don’t always convey them to others in the most complicated way. My access to the thoughts of other Gawker commenters is limited to their brief responses to various articles, and so they don’t seem as…

Wow, look at all those typos!

Yes, I thought that the Sansa Rape was plausible and actually the least objectionable rape the show ever depicted, if that can be a thing. The Craster’s Keep scenes of the previous season still make me angry though. What it seems to me though is that this is a show with lots of sexual violence written by people with…

“I weigh 225 pounds, and 280 pounds in full kit, as did most of the members of my ODA (a 12-man Army Green Beret unit). I expect every person on my team to be able to drag any member of my team out of a firefight. A 130 pound female could not do it...”

Joanna Angel has her own company, so she has more leeway than many people would to speak her mind.

I’m in HR. It’s my job to protect my organization, but employees don’t always seem to know that. It doesn’t mean that we’re anti-employee, but if you have a union rep you should bring them with you to the meetings.

Deal breaker: men who make sweeping misogynist statements about all women as if it will inspire me to prove myself. I think it would be better for everyone if you stopped dating in a pool of people you don’t like or respect. Go your own way.

The photoshopping is so bad it makes the whole story seem hoax-y to me. An agreement between publicists to call attention to a lesser magazine that makes a mistake then makes good, while boosting Zendaya’s image as a teen truth-teller. They may not have even told her it was a set-up.

I can go both ways. It made a difference to me that she’d been deeply invested in Shintoism, which posits that all things have a sacred essence or spirit. So I gave that a lot of leeway and found that not all of it worked for me.

She talks about the trap of organizing solutions in her book. The crux of her advice really is that you should get rid of most of your stuff rather than find ways to organize it more efficiently.

It isn’t hard to maintain order when you get rid of 90% of your stuff.

Mari Kondo would say that by pulling the socks into a bundle you aren’t letting them rest from all the work they do for you. But I admit, I still bundle as well. The KonMari book has a lot of nifty though always borderline batshit crazy advice, but she doesn’t take into account a person who might have more of a closet…

You still ball your socks? Monster.

It would have been an article worth reading! It would have lacked that easy outrage factor which I’m sure made this tone-deaf piece so clickable.

It is very kind of The Globe and Mail to provide such luscious low-hanging fruit.
