Don’t treat the workplace like it’s a nightclub full of potential sexual partners.
“As women we do not recognise ourselves in this feminism, which beyond denouncing the abuse of power takes on a hatred of men and of sexuality,”
This is why the internet was invented.
Where do you think they are on a cow? Or a goat? A sheep?
Or the career of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who — but for an assaulted Hotel maid in NYC — would have spent time living in Elysee Palace.
I’m not a “poor little thing” because I don’t want to be harassed. I’m not objecting to it because I’m not strong enough to endure it, I’m objecting to it because it’s bullshit that I shouldn’t have to be subjected to.
In which France, having spent decades tut-tutting Americans for being sexual Puritans, experiences the cognitive dissonance that comes with being confronted by the fact that its culture of “seduction” almost always is accompanied by hefty doses of power imbalances.
I wonder if part of this is about women who would rather believe they were seduced than assaulted. It’s often easier to act like you were a willing participant than accept the reality. And if you are a woman of a certain age, it had to be damn near impossible to escape predators.
There are always Serena Joys willing to throw other women under the bus for their place in the patriarchy. Nothing’s changed. Cool girls abound.
please god tell me this is the end of everybody wanting to be like those mythological French Women that hack journalists write articles about, that never get fat and always dress better than us.
No one has a problem with sex and seduction, IN THE PROPER CONTEXT. What part of DON’T DO IT AT WORK is so fucking hard to understand? And if you are trying to seduce a woman and she’s giving you clues like “NO” and “PLEASE DON’T” you know, maybe you suck at it.
What’s more romantic than watching your boss jerk off into a plant??? American women JUST DON’T GET IT!

I like that senior management at your company are all driving minivans.
No. Parents should be held accountable for a child’s diet & exercise, but that does not equal controlling their weight. Weight gain/loss is dictated by your metabolism, which is dictated largely by genetics. Food and activity can influence metabolism, but are never the deciding factor in how it will behave.
My family is one that likes to buy cars with cash and run them till the wheels fall off. My dad bought a brand new 2001 F150 at the tail end of 2000, and gave it to me when I was in high school in 2006. This truck sits in my garage in near perfect shape, even after lift kits and off-road accessories, and 2 minor…
what’s also nice - no touchscreens
I purchased a run-down (yet relatively solid) 1982 Chevy C30 3+3 Dually. Originally a 6.2 diesel w/ TH400 Trans, but at the time, missing the engine and trans. $500. Great deal.
I traded a refrigerator compressor for my first car, a 1963 Corvair. He got cold beer, I got hot trash.
