I finally made the leap and told someone in my circle some of the things that have been going on with Big Foot. It was a relief to have it out in the open with at least one person who knows me by name.

The one example given is... not that great. Programming as a field in 1950 when it was dominated by women is radically different from today. I’d venture that it’s not even the same field, despite the same name.

While I agree that pay goes down when women enter the field, this section is not necessarily indicative of much where it regards women:

Wait, so you are saying when a career field has an influx of qualified labor, the wages drop collectively? No shit, that is how things work when the more labor is introduced into a system.

Well, to get inside his head for a moment, he IS a victim.

Totally. I’m fairly confident that if you went to Labrie before his trial and asked him if he thought rape was wrong, he would have said it was. I’m also fairly confident that Labrie had no idea that his actions could be considered rape and that he was shocked and bewildered by the fact that he was on trial. He…

As to the headline... well, duh.

While I’m all about a diverse bachelorette, I would not have tuned in for Caila. She was low-key crazy, and not in an endearing or amusing way. I think ABC was going to cast her, but she was just too boring. I seriously doubt this was a race issue. It was a boring issue.

I lost my job on Wednesday, so, the rest of this week has mostly been about that. I’m torn because while I know I made some stupid mistakes and was not giving the position my all, I also felt from the beginning that I wasn’t given adequate guidance in my role and had almost zero feedback or oversight. I know that some…

I have pretty much had all I can take of Big Foot’s attitude today. She went to court earlier in the week which amounted to me signing a paper and filling out a form to be assigned an attorney. I drove more than two hours to sit in a room for 5 minutes. And now the attitude has kicked in- she sold her shoes to her…

Shockingly, making something illegal does nothing to keep the workers marginalized by those laws safe and protected from workplace violence and employer/client abuses.

I’m disappointed in my fellow women.

I don’t get this reasoning because being able to afford food but not a drink is the result of bad financial planning. If there is indeed such a great need to give back, why not partner with the owner to spend a day for charity, or for the restaurant to sponsor a local sports team/shelter?

So let me get this straight. People came to IHOP to eat, but cannot afford a $1.50 refillable soda?

“Me and the owner weren’t seeing eye-to-eye.”

Oh man, that kid. I feel so sorry for that kid. You also missed the part where he was black and gay. And super pro-Trump, because he believed Trump was the only pro-gay candidate, and then even after Trump came out against gay marriage the kid still supported him.

I don’t think it’s a question of intelligence; I think it’s one of caring. She will never need an abortion or social welfare benefits, so in her mind those issues are unimportant. It’s like when I hear about how tax plans affect people with a lot of investment income — that’s not me and it’s never going to be me, so…

I’m beginning to think she’s not very intelligent.

Yes, it might make it easier to compare, but at this point, most people expect that most airlines charge fees for stuff like checked baggage. This bill, if passed, will make it harder for “low cost” carriers like Spirit to keep their prices low. They are an example of an airline that uses the fees as a way to…

While this sounds great, if this passes, all that will happen is the fees go away and the base prices go up to cover the difference. The airline industry has been enjoying huge profits lately and they will not want that to end. Right now, all these fees help to subsidize the base ticket prices.
