As a woman in STEM, I can verify. For example, I remember as an undergraduate being told by another student that I had gotten a better grade than him because I had large breasts. More that 20 years later, I still have douchey boys just out of college think that they can tell me how to do my job or that I shouldn’t be…

Richards, of course, refused the deal even as Kushner pushed her to move quickly because “things were moving ‘really fast.’” 

The more educated (overall, not just about reproduction) a woman is, the less likely she is to have an abortion, but you never hear them talking about how important it is to make sure girls are well-educated.

They do, they just like to pretend that it doesn’t exist or that somehow government money will be used for abortions through the magic of bookkeeping. Of course, those same people also transfer assets to their spouses and children to get out of paying taxes or following other laws, so they assume everyone else is as…

Considering the way that despots love to put their portraits in every public space available, I am surprised that he would go for this. I am shocked that we don’t already have Cheetolini murals in every park in America. Of course, he did leave an option open for Saddam Hussein style statues.

My money is on Belle and Snow White. Belle had her education to think about, and Snow White lived with 7 guys (plus, the girls who seem that pure are always hiding something).

Seriously. I don’t understand people who have the energy to plan big events. Ours was small, but especially since most of our guests traveled from out of town (we were living in a place where neither of us grew up) by the time the wedding rolled around, we were wishing we had eloped.

Some day I am going to have to ask my brother how much he and his friends spend on each others weddings. Everything seems very performative. There is an engagement party, an out-of-town bachelor party (or separate bridal shower and out-of-town bachelorette party and for the bride), and the weddings are huge because…

My dog is amazing at catching and killing small mammals (as much as I love her, I would never trust her around a cat). She will hunt my food and bring it back for me.

In the Midwest, they say “that’s nice” when they mean “fuck you”.

What we really want is dramatic sex then to be left alone.

That costume jewelry is fantastic.

I loved that that HS student isn’t bothering to hide his rational response to how stupid Santorum is.

I have known quite a few women who were trapped in abusive marriages because they kept getting pregnant. Birth control forever!

How the hell did wellness beat out anyone in the last round? Wellness is horrible!

That is a good idea. I wonder how much things would even out if before HR gave resumes to hiring managers, they removed the names and replaced them with a number. Then the hiring manager could ask to have an interview scheduled for that number resume.

Same. The wellness industry is exploitative and insidious, and I hate it.

I am so sad that I missed yesterday’s poll. It looks like there were some interesting ones.

I think a few of us thought of this immediately. I think two people posted it before I did.
