The court case documents are online for public view, and actually, yes, a lot of people have read them. I suggest you do the same, because they’re not only horrific but also pretty damning, and you might change your tune re: Parker’s innocence. The friend was only acquitted because the victim didn’t want to testify…

Equality is when an office can be 100% women and nobody bats an eye, much like what was and is still currently the case in many 100% male offices.

So, grab them by the Donald Trump during the Vietnam War?

He shouldn’t have focused on himself and his feelings so much. Since he knew he was going to be asked about it, he should have crafted a statement with a media coach that solidly addressed how wrong his actions were in 1999 and how even though he was ultimately found to be not guilty of anything criminal, he…

Doesn’t sound like that’s true. It sounds like what happened was: A performance-based system of promotion and hiring was put into place. Under that new system, among a small number of new hires and people promoted (something like 16?)—more women, who met the higher performance standards but had not been promoted in…

I, and many other Black women who enjoy supporting Black art and Black people, specifically don’t want to support this man because he’s a rapist, not because he’s Black, and now for the added reason that he made a great true story into a wildly historically inaccurate torture porn fest, complete with creepily added…

I haven’t said anyone should be a dick to men, or anyone else. I simply find it ironic and downright hilarious that men are now suing for discrimination all over the place—in this case, for allegedly enduring a tiny bit of the treatment that women have always received.

I feel sorry for all the other people who have put their time and effort into this film, only to have it be overshadowed by Parker’s sordid past. For me, personally, the whole project is tainted now.

I’m a black female PhD chemist. I’m in a position where I have to train new grad students, some undergrads and postdocs. A lot of them are surprised that I’m the one leading their training. They have this “oh, you’re the scientist” moment when I am introduced to them. This happens usually with the guys. Then I have to…

Best summation of “Birth of a Nation” that I’ve read comes courtesy of Matt Zoller Seitz (http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-birth-of-a-nation-2016)

What’s stupid is telling women, who’ve been subjugated by men for centuries, how to feel when once, one time, the shoe *might* be on the other foot. If you can’t understand why women might laugh about this then your understanding of human nature needs some work. There’s even a work for it in German.

It has been studied and proven many times over that hiring managers -both male and female- often have an unconscious bias causing them to see men as inherently being more qualified and possessing leadership qualities, even and often when it’s not true.

Studies show that men in female-dominated fields are treated to a type of gender discrimination. POSITIVE discrimination. It’s called the “glass escalator” -- men in elementary school teaching or nursing are often pegged for more promotions and faster than women because it’s assumed that they are more devoted…

Go back to gawker and take your socks with you.

This is what happens when women are given the power to discriminate against men.

“a female dominated field to the tune of 80% women in tech?”

“a usually male dominated field were finding qualified men isn’t a problem”

Just snark, no empathy and certainly no support.

If a grade-school teacher of his came out and said she had to put Trump in time out during recess for bad behavior when he was 8 years old, he’d call her a fat ugly cunt who was jealous that he wasn’t attracted to her.

Trump is so inflexible in his thoughts and beliefs even when they turn out to be wrong. He still goes after people even through this happened almost thirty years ago. Jesus. He can’t let a thing go.
