And yet studies have shown women who attempt to negotiate their salary are less likely to be hired, receive negative performance reviews and are considered to be difficult. It’s not leadership or confidence when a woman does it, it’s ‘too aggressive’ or grating. Gendered expectations of behaviour are tricky and

Brings new meaning to “not here to make friends.”

that really is sandra bullock’s costume in every comedy she does.

Honestly, the only thing that text shows me is that she was pretty sure she’d win. She’s not like “I’m about to get rich!”, she’s texting someone that it looks like she owes money (or furniture?) to, and explaining how she’s going to be able to pay for it. Her dad gives her cash for xmas and she’s got a court case

“I felt like if she felt like she had been raped, she would have told me,” Lavergne said.

“No More Lies” is the blazingest track from Michel’le’s 1989 debut album, there is no doubt about that. It still sounds as fresh and complex now as it did back then—and that hook is completely insane.

This is really important and deserves to be somewhere better than Lifetime.

I have worked with the UNH library before, for my job. I can assure you that they are amazing and also desperately in need of funds, as are most university libraries. This is a horrible decision and UNH deserves all the public shame they are receiving over it.

This one’s the best because of the two casually working in the background.

“Yes, Laura. This month saw an increase in patient intakes by 6% and Susan is currently giving Robert an epic blowjob. Any questions?”

Each of these photos is hilarious if you replace the last noun in their inane commentary with “cocaine”:

My rapist admitted it to police the night of, he didn’t call it rape but admitted I couldn’t consent. I went to the hospital that night and documented all my injuries. He admitted to me in a text that he would plead guilty if I ever pressed charges. That wasn't enough for a Hennepin County prosecutor. I wonder if it's

I just can’t believe the prosecutors weren’t going to press charges. I mean it seems like a pretty clear case if there ever was one.

Hennepin County is notoriously awful when it comes to prosecuting sex crimes. I know several women, myself included, whose perpetrators of rape, domestic violence, and violating restraining orders either were never charged or weren’t charged until multiple women came forward.

Outrageous and horrifying. Bumping your comment up.

Yeah, you don’t offer bail or an ankle braclet to a violent domestic abuser who was caught armed after kidnapping and torturing his wife...especially when they lives six miles from one another (says so in source). This judge fucked up royally and it cost this woman her life.

Annnnd here is the contact information for the hon. Judge Gary J. Gilman, if you would care to voice your displeasure at his less than judicious ruling to allow a violent criminal who posed an active danger to another person free:
