It's always funny that the people who are MOST against this theory are the attorneys who just can't imagine that sexuality has a part to play in every interaction... no matter how benign. Uncomfortable, isn't it?

Implying I'm a prostitute for reveling in my own beauty and sexuality whilst performing my professional duties. How utterly predictable. Bravo.

You'd like to think he would..... HE'D like to think he would. But he wouldn't. This shakes out one of two ways: it's ignored or it's an advantage. There's no downside for me. And, as I said, I'm wearing nothing inappropriate. I don't even own a skirt that's above my knees or a top that shows cleavage lines. I…

As long as they're winning, clients rarely care why. Perhaps sad, but true.

Who said I don't work hard? I work my ass off. I'm an extremely effective attorney. And I look good doing it. I'm one of only a few female trial attorneys in my area. I don't see a lot of other women day to day. Male-female exchanges ARE my norm.

OH. MY. GOD. I am in love with you. :)

I'm sorry... I thought becoming an attorney, making my own money and my own schedule, having a fantastic career, doing great work for a roster of high-profile clients, being respected by peers, and winning cases actually IS power. Oh and you can bet I'm wearing heels and cute suits while I do it. Power is in…

Totally. Except I felt like there was more to what he was saying. Not just "hey, thanks for not accosting me with questions about why I didn't take out the trash this morning when I've had a shitty day" but more like "thanks for letting me totally be an ass and not calling me on it. That makes my life hella easier."

love!

Preach, sister.

BEING UNDERESTIMATED IS KEY!! People don't understand why sometimes, but it is. So glad I'm not the only one out there who sees that. Also, being young and cute and girly is a nice breath of fresh air to a lot of judges who are sick of crotchety old men. Why not wear a skirt and see what it gets you? YES. YES.…

a story from a "Godly wife" allegedly positively affected by the woman in the video above (she has a blog at www.peacefulwife.com):

I really love the modesty debate sometimes. Religion has done such an amazing job convincing women that modesty is an issue of "honoring God" or "respecting your own body" or - as the woman in the video talks about above - "not being a stumbling block to my brother [in Christ]." In reality, modesty reduces the…

good point. Doesn't change my point, however.

Love love love this.... buuuuut. As an attorney I find it impossibly difficult to find suits that are feminine, flirty, well-made, reasonably priced and court-appropriate. I would die to find a place that does WOMEN'S CUSTOM SUITING, not menswear for women. I have a neighbor that works at Suitsupply who said that…

don't get all offended or anything but.... this is EXACTLY why we can't get the justice system to start looking at rape differently. If what you're commenting on from this article is the fact that a couple of thirteen year old girls beat up a 21 year old guy (really? he couldn't run away or, you know, call for help…

anyone else find it somewhat creepy that they appear not to have faces? Anyone?

Re: Flexitarian diet - I went to see Dawn Jackson Blatner for nutrition advice a couple of years ago (needed some guidance regarding what to eat while marathon training) and was shocked that she's actually a very accessible, down-to-earth, non-crazy person. Sure, she's about a size 00 and is blonde (one way or…

I see no instance in the article where the author says "hey, girls! It's super fun to go out and hurt other people's significant others by being a mistress!!" In fact, she acknowledges that the only reason the partner wasn't hurt was because she never found out (to the author's knowledge). I think it's quite…

Why are you assuming the other (assumptively non-cheating) partner is home crying or waiting for their lover to return home? Maybe they're out cheating.... or heaving a sigh of relief that they won't be expected to have sex that day.... or just don't care. People make a lot of bargains for a lot of reasons. Sure…
