Anything recurring is a pain in the ass when it comes to this. I’m on the vendor side of the process at my job, and even when we cancel an account and get confirmation that it’s done, every once in a while, the system decides to ignore us and charge anyway. Or you canceled something six months ago, and you’re suddenly…

And that’s one of many good reasons you need affirmative action—to counterbalance the enormous advantage that legacy candidates have.

Hahahahahaha good.

Yo Abby. I’m white and hella average too. No need to be bitter about it.

But even white people get rejected sometimes! Has she never seen the first half of any romcom?

So basically, to get into U of T you have to be in the top 10% of your class, which she was not, or have an excellent extracurricular resume, which she did not. It’s amazing/alarming that this case still made it to SCOTUS.

Because she thinks she’s speshul.

When will entitled lady babies like Abby Fisher get justice????? ... But for real, I got into a state school (ski-u-mah 4 ever) just two years before her and I’ve been following this case ever since. I’ll never understand why she couldn’t just take the rejection and move on with her life, like everyone has to.

Ugh. That sucks, I’m so sorry. I don’t know why they do shit like this. Well, perverts are creeps but the seemingly normal dudes who flip the fuck out at the slightest perceived rejection are so upsetting. I used to come back at aggressive cat callers but they have turned on me enough times-once or twice in a…

Your advice is excellent. What’s sad is that things haven’t changed all that much since I had to deal with this kind of nonsense on a daily basis while working for an investment firm in NY in the 80s.

Everyone is focusing on what the abuser did wrong, but I don’t hear anyone talking about the important thing — how did the victim bring this on herself?

American does not have open seating like SW.

I read a little more about the girl in the second story. She must have been so scared. She was trapped in the window seat and she was traveling by herself. Jesus.

Yeah, this scares me too. I spent five years under a boss that always thought of me as entry-level, no matter what I did or what skills I learned. I would regularly have to train my newly promoted male bosses. Eventually I got a better job, but it’s still the same bullshit. Anytime I complain about this sort of stuff…

Its just because they know your uterus will explode with a baby before too long and you’ll leave them high and dry for the 6 weeks they allow you to take leave.

Right?! I’m in my mid 30s and recently considered making a career switch. Doors were pretty firmly closed. I could have shoved them open, but ug.

I’m 32. I’ve spent 2016 panicking that if I don’t get promoted like, tomorrow, I’ll be “too old” to ever move up. Meanwhile my male “counterparts” with half my experience and expertise and who are younger than I by a good 5 years are being promoted with lightning speed. It’s hard not to assume it’s because I’m an old…

Yup. Completely true in my career. It’s also when my partner started earning more than I do. Fuck, I hate society sometimes.

I'm running into that as well and have actually brought it up to my manager. I am 34 and an engineer. I am also the oldest female engineer in my area. The rest are either project managers or managers. It is super intimidating to want to continue in a technical role when it is seems all the women have been filtered out…

I got told I needed to be on the holiday party planning committee cuz I was “low man on the totem pole” and no one wanted to do it. There were two men who had been there less time.
