Actually, Greathouse, there was still an overwhelming discrimination in orchestra blind interviews. It wasn’t until they carpeted the floor so you couldn’t hear the women’s heels (in addition to the screens), that the gender representation started to equal out.

The Mansplaining. The Goddamn Mansplaining. Donald was downright disrespectful. Jesus.

I fucking love this so hard. Her side-eye is AMAZING.

Slow blink FTW

i have never been pandered to so effectively before

Yeah, my version of FLAM is wake up tired at 5:45 AM, proceed to hustle three kids through two hours of getting to school routines, caffeinate myself into consciousness, bulldoze through a day, cry inside when the evening meal I prepare is thrown away and I’m castigated for never making ANYTHING GOOD, I cajole, beg,…

Sounds like the White Feminist version of “pull yourself up by your bootstraps.”

Conservatives are already arguing that the reason why Trump is going to lose is because he isn’t conservative enough or is a fake Republican. I’m really worried that in 2020 they’re going to nominate a maniac like Cruz. He’s already positioned himself as the Principled Conservative Taking A Stand at the convention,…

For sure, I was being pedantic and projecting a bit of my disgust about people I know who are “Republican” but Trump is not a “Republican”, but they are still voting “Republican”. None of them agree with Trump or his policies or really the Republican platform since the Bill Clinton years, but they are “Lifelong…

Trump has proven one thing: that you don’t need to be a conservative to be the party’s nominee. All you need is the racism. Before, actual republicans and conservatives ran on policies (granted, shitty policies) and just paid homage to racism with a dog whistle or two. Now craven politicians just have to embrace…

Sandberg is the poster girl for “feminism” for rich white women with trust funds and nannies. Like I’m not surprised, but it’s kind of a bummer.

I hope you’re right about Hillary, but Trump closed a huge gap this week according to FiveThirthyEight. I’m afraid if Hillary sneezes in public next week that Trump might take the lead.

If you are his daughter, yes.

The Grand Old Party shall once again rise like a motherfucking phoenix made of burning feces.

This part -

Yup. And everyone seems to be angrier at Hillary for all of this than the man actually accused of rape. Until that stops being the case, I refuse to let the alleged actions of Hillary’s husband impact my opinion of her as a candidate. And she is still by far the best candidate in this election.

You can’t know what’s going on with them, though. That’s the thing. HIS career suffered no serious setbacks because of the allegations, yet guilt by association is apparently enough to tank the career his wife (who has not, as far as I know, ever been accused of rape)?? They’re not actually the same person. Meanwhile,…

If you are getting pushback, it may be because suggesting that she is “let[ting] other women’s lives be destroyed by her husband so she could advance her career” is a baffling interpretation of events that occurred decades or years prior to her seeking any kind of political office. It would make a lot more sense to…

For the last year I’ve spent all my free time at work obsessively reading about the presidential race. No more. So far this week I’ve re-watched the first season of Arrested Development and listened to 6 hours of Last Podcast on the Left. I feel so much better it’s not even funny.

you should probably not liberally handle actual pieces of shit, in museums or elsewhere.
