It’s also a major reason why companies are more likely to hire men than women in their 20’s. Companies do not want a woman taking maternal leave on average 2-3 times.

Maybe I’m not cynical enough, but I always got the impression that the Clintons were a close family. And Bill and Hillary seemed thrilled to become grandparents. Maybe it’s less about her image and more that her child and grandchild are a big part of her life.

Oh, you weren’t serious? I couldn’t discern that from the the overall tone of the dozens of doubling-down, defensive, and petulant comments you’ve made in the last two days.

Dude. Duuuude. As an editor of a site who occasionally makes poor editorial decisions and gets called out for it by our readers, I’m telling you: It feels so good to admit when you’re wrong. It reminds your readers that you are human, make mistakes, and that you are actually listening to them.

Someone please “curate a line” that is inspired by my daughter’s insane pattern mixing.

uhhh 60k ain’t nothing to sneeze at.

Pretty sure they are making fun of the commenters, not the writer of that article...

I dunno, I’d agree it’s far from prudent or professional but I’m kind of enjoying this meltdown.

Wow this is.....what is happening

Eh, I think it’s immature, passive aggressive and unprofessional. I don’t know if you’d actually disagree with that though, seeing as you described it as trollish. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not mad or surprised, but I also don’t think it’s particularly clever.

It’s pretty freaking clever. It’s the editorial equivalent of just saying “you bitches love maxi dresses so much, you can ALL be maxi dresses!” And then watching everyone complain about being a maxi dress. It’s grade A trolling. Everybody loves a maxi, no one wants to be a maxi. I want to give this all the Citizen…

I think we are maxxinistas.

It’s bizarrely contemptuous, no? But 100% on brand.

wow. lol

Nice defensive double-down on willfully misunderstanding what Jez commenters are trying to tell you. And now you’re saying, “Look, the mens don’t care if we make fun of shorts!”. Please.

Wasn’t Plath calling herself cow-heavy, though? Big difference between “OMG I’m such a cow” and “OMG gurl peep this heifer over thurr did you see what that cow is wearing?”

I’m a little too appalled by this story to say anything meaningful right now, but I do want to say that I’m very impressed that the NYT translated the story into the languages of the women they interviewed. I don’t know if that’s standard practice, but I thought that was a great step in making stories like these more…

this reads like such a typical “social justice warrior” BS post.
