I think Hannah just saw this on Twitter and wrote it up as fast as possible. It’s not what people in general are talking about (the quote vs. the video).

It’s in the video. I think this is a dumb story overall tho. He made a bad joke, he learned. Jezebel is bringing it up now for traffic bc it’s trending on Twitter bc people don’t know the full story.

omg what did jesse williams do???

It’s crazy to say it, but 2011 was a different world compared to know. We were arguing about whether a celeb wanted to say they were a feminist or not.

Why did you put “beautiful women” in quotation marks? The actual quote would include the raping part. Do you not think they are beautiful?

I think the bulk of the disadvantage is in child-raising not child-having and that is something that women have power over via who they choose to have kids with. I don’t think standards need to go down when we’re talking about really difficult, specialized jobs. This is a study on surgical residents, not just internal…

This article isn’t about a systemic advantage for men, it’s a systemic advantage for people who either don’t want children or don’t want to be the primary caregiver of their children. I also disagree that it’s easier said than done, there are plenty of men who would love a sugar mom or to be a stay at home dad but…

It def needs to be a conversation you have before you marry someone — if you want kids, how you will care for them, how you will balance careers, etc. If women are doing this because of preference (they really want kids) great, but yeah, blindly going into this is bad.

Ha ha it’s funny to read your response because we reach the same conclusion but I would never phrase it like this. I think it’s impressive and aspirational that they chose their dreams over having kids. I have a lot of respect for medical people, esp something like surgeons where it’s really like 1% in terms of drive…

Not pedantic, thats a really helpful distinction and adds more perspective to where the problem is.

OK, I’m glad you personally value kids more than this particular career. Not every woman feels the same way. It isn’t “super human” to want different things in life.

I went on a 4 day yoga retreat with a resident who desperately needed to be there for her mental health. She told me everything she had to do to get permission to go (for 3.5 days basically, she was on the night shift a few hours after this ended). It was insane. Just no rights to your own time. But she’s a badass and…

THANK YOU!!!!

women who want children can be surgeons, but they need to do what men who become surgeons do and marry someone who is going to be the person in the relationship who prioritizes childcare.

Why does it suck? I assume the woman in that scenario freely makes the choice that she wants kids and she wants this guy who she knows works all the time to be her partner. Relationships are teamwork and it seems like they’re deciding how they want to work as a team.

Men marry people who are willing to be the primary caregiver at the expense of their career which is how they can have small kids and still spend so much time on their career. More women need to be sugar moms in this regard.

Do what men do and marry someone who wants to be a primary caregiver/run the household.

right...

How is she being attacked based on her gender identity?
