Legal cases are by definition narrow.this particular case might not address trans issues in the same way that Gavin Grimm’s Case doesn’t touch on sexuality. This isn’t a zero sum game. Not every case covers every issue and we don’t need to get defensive when our allies get a win.

“Any discomfort, disapproval, or job decision based on the fact that the complainant — woman or man — dresses differently, speaks differently, or dates or marries a same-sex partner, is a reaction purely and simply based on sex. That means that it falls within Title VII’s prohibition against sex discrimination, if it…

What you don’t like the totally fair and unbiased news institutions Jacobin and Salon??? You must be a corporate democrat! Shill!

Yea I don’t really know what I meant by that either. Good convo though.

I hate that people are doing this because it makes her seem politically ambitious by proxy. Lazy journalists pen lazy essay about “Will Chelsea Run?” and it now becomes incumbent on her to deny it, which, in the world of politics, only fuels further speculation and further believe that, she’s lying, she wants to run…

Well I don’t have a male counterpart at our company, but an adjacent department recently found out a lower level year-old hire is making TWICE what his female supervisors who’ve been around for 5-10 years are making. It happened when they were bitching about being underpaid (considering market rate for their position)…

Our CFO sent W2's my emailing a single PDF file containing every single W2 to everyone in the company... We all knew exactly how much everyone made.

I was solo in my department, but every other woman there made less than the men, some even less than the men they supervised. One guy made double what the girl he…

I asked for a raise, and was told no, because then I’d be making as much as the men in my department, “and they have families.” 1996.

This is admirable and these young women are enormously impressive but the best part of this story is that it will cause the best meltdown at Breitbart. California? College? Abortion? Women with ideas? Andrew B would have another heart attack if he got within 50 feet of this story.

Of course it’s not free: It’s built into the cost of their insurance or university health fee. They just want to move services in-house and with something as time sensitive as a medical abortion, it’s a reasonable request to avoid the delays of entering another medical system entirely.

Its essentially a proven fact that limiting access to abortion does not have any impact on people’s sexual behavior. All it does is increase the pregnancy rate. All the sexual education (of which I’m sure there is more than enough at a school like Berkeley) can’t change the fact that birth control fails, condoms fail,…

No one is stopping sex education from being the priority. But if a woman is raped by an acquaintance or is passed around some night, and she doesn’t want the shit show of reporting it, she should have options. And she shouldn’t have to explain this to you or anyone else.

So, because sex education is inadequate, we should use babies to punish students?

This was a shitty phenomenon when it happened, and a super boring one except to everyone it hurt—especially Hathaway herself.

I’d just like to say that this resistance to Donald Trump would have been nicer before the election. Your hatred towards HC was part of the problem. And Bernie is responsible for a lot of that. So I would also like to say: Fuck Bernie Sanders.

This cartoon is my daily groundhog day. I thought people were better. Wrong
