Because when a man has four wives, it means he has four times the family values.

I once shut a (normally fairly woke) white friend of mine completely up after she told a story about speeding (“around 90”), not pulling over right away so the cop had to use the loudspeaker, AND mouthing off to the cop who pulled her over. I said “... Yeah, they’d kill me for that.”

And welcome to the black experience.

“So I’m going to convene my top generals and give them a simple instruction, they will have 30 days to submit to the oval office a plan for soundly, and quickly defeating ISIS.”

I saw a mommy-blog with a headline about “I had a microcephalic child and it wasn’t that bad...” and I wanted to rage punch the writer through my screen. Thank you, well-off, middle-class, white woman with access to contraception and/or abortion! Thank you very much for downplaying how fucking awful this is just…

Looking at it another way, he is an elite athlete that thousands of people look up to, he makes $20 million a year, and despite that he still feels like a second-class citizen because of the colour of his skin.

Mom was a nurse. We learned the Surgical Scrub early.

Apparently not, sadly. Check up thread. We’re being gaslighted.

I have a close friend who works in GIS for an engineering firm. She has worked for them for 10 years. Of course as one of the few women in the office, she’s the one who organizes all the charity work the company participates in, she organizes the office potlucks celebrating whatever, etc etc. She always gets great…

I’m also in STEM. Whenever I ask for a raise — pointing out that I’m doing the work of someone with at least 5 years more experience than I currently have — it’s like I’m breaking some unwritten rule that says we’re all supposed to be working for free, so we’re lucky to get any money at all. I don’t understand this…

I work with mostly women, and a time came up last year where I really should have asked for a raise. However, I felt completely unable to do so. It’s partly workplace culture, where no one asks for raises and those who do are put down by our [female] exec team, who think we should all just be grateful that we have…

Start blocking off afternoons on your calendar and wearing very nice business clothing/makeup/haircut/polished shoes on those mornings. Even if you’re not interviewing elsewhere, make them think you are.

Black men were considered worthy of a right to vote long before white/any women were.

I would like to just give an anonymous shout-out to my male boss who keeps giving me raises without my asking for them, and is quite aware that his female employees are uncomfortable asking (not from anything he has done).

I feel this so hard, I just went through this.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m a professional working in STEM and I’ve never felt like asking for a raise was even on the table. The way all of my employers have talked, they might have to start sacrificing buying our bathrooms TP to keep the doors open. You know, despite growth and profit. The…

Jesus Christ(ie), I can’t wait until someone replaces him.

So do I (but I also hold a 2nd stem degree), but something that Blind STEM supporters don’t consider- if everyone has a stem degree, those jobs will not pay well in time. Also, not everyone’s natural abilities lean towards math or science, & those people shouldn't have to be miserable bc of narrowminded idiots. Many…

My degree is in liberal arts, and I do just great.
