You don't include Vancouver?
There is a whole city named Renton right next to Seattle.
Many workplaces make it very difficult to use their paternity leave, even if they are owed it. There is a lot of pressure on new parents to keep their leave short, and men get it worse because they are assumed not to need it. It may be something they want to do, and they may wish they could take a stand, but lots of…
I think it has to be more obvious to be meaningful, since the situation is extreme. They are naked in a music video, the definition of objectification. To overcome such blatant sexism, it has to be way more sophisticated than a passing eyeroll. It is conceivable that naked women in a music video could be meta, but it…
She may have the "power" to say no to some interaction, but she doesn't have the power to prevent a negative response at that point. This makes her feel not-so-powerful because she might feel in danger for something she did not invite in the first place.
I honestly didn't see it, even after reading this and looking for it. The eye contact didn't seem powerful to me. It actually seemed attention-seeking, always aware of where the camera was like a reality tv star. The women reminded me of Courtney Stodden, trying to prove they matter by being naked, but the men STILL…
I've never even heard of giving envelopes of cash! It sounds like the mafia!
"Self-censorship" occurs all the time in all sorts of places. It is not the same as imposed censorship. They responded to the outcry because it made sense for them to do that. When McDonald's stops serving a certain kind of food because people don't like it, that is called business. You could call it…
When my husband and I went to buy a new car a few years ago, I did all sorts of research and was able to tell them what we wanted and for how much. I had to leave early to go to work, because it was taking forever. When I left, they made my husband an offer. He said he would need to discuss it with me before making…
No one forced them to take it down.. They made that choice based on what they deemed most beneficial to themselves. There was no censorship.
I think you can trace a lot of the downward slide in magazine quality to Bonnie Fuller. In the beginning of Marie Claire, there were fabulous, in-depth and hard-hitting articles. She was the editor there, and she seemed to develop a model for short articles on superficial topics. So when she started there, it was…
I agree with you. I read it closely, and she doesnt crow. I don't think anyone else is even bothering to just skim.
Have you read anything the actual writer said about having only one? She isn't an idiot about it. This post has completely misrepresented her positions. I am an only with an only, and her whole point is that onlies have been unfairly maligned. She doesn't say one is best, she says it is not worst.
I just read the article, expecting to see stuff about why having a kid was important, as this Jezebel post suggests the writer did. But she never did. Ever. She talked about having kids is difficult and how it does not add to your creativity and effectiveness. She quoted writers who said you should have kids only if…
I jumped out a second story window with an umbrella because of Mary Poppins.
That pig ate some potatoes. War was inevitable.
Are you a product of the Washington State public schools or just know some border trivia?
Dumbo: I get high with a little help from my friends
Do you think it was a good idea that they sent you to counseling? (And who is "they"? Principal? Parents?) Obviously at the time you probably didn't, but looking back on it now (I assume you are at least in high school now, or older), what do you think of that? Just interested in your thoughts.
