Lately I have been hearing the mantra that identity politics are horrible. Not coincidentally, the mantra is coming from white men, and by identity politics, they mean pointing out the importance of diversity to the determent of white male exclusivity.

Regardless of whether Amazon treats women fairly, I think it’s safe to say that they treat their warehouse employees terribly. And given that women and men are filling very different jobs at the company, I’m not sure how impressive it is that women and men in equivalent jobs earn similar amounts. One of the ways in…

Criminalizing abortion. Criminalizing pregnancy. Criminalizing birth. I mean...what exactly are our options? Not have sex. But then how will the menz get the sexy times they’re entitled to?

But states are now making it even harder for women to get abortions. If you’re that bad off on drugs, you probably also have no means to drive to another state to get an abortion.

I went and read the actual decision linked in the article and it might make you feel a bit better to know that that quote is actually taken pretty badly out of context. While I still think the judge is totally wrong, he actually is very clear to qualify his statement. The full paragraph is:

Fixed that for you. I hope you realize that these things can be researched far beyond Google, and are often pretty interesting stories when that happens. This was not a story, it was a proposal for a story. Don’t let it go as if it were now resolved. If you want to embarrass those who don’t do their homework, DO YOUR…

Guys, this is just getting started. Mitt has binders full of Trump jokes.

In short: You can’t go down to Trump’s level because he has so much more experience in being there than you do.

I think Chloe would be better as a young Kim Cattrall.

I can’t believe I’m about to say this...she obviously didn’t take it seriously. She was the only one who didn’t film some sort of cute scene to be included in the opening credits, which leads me to believe she was there rolling her eyes for the past few weeks. Because she sure as shit didn’t have prior work…

Or who, being children, are most certainly leeches on society.

The candy people! What is wrong with them? If you don’t want to spend the price of a couple of bags of candy to give poor kids (and yourself) a fun experience, just turn off the damn porch light.

This is exactly the problem with reading level measures (which literacy, accessibility, and usability experts have been pointing out for years). Trump’s language is fucking nonsense: it’s nearly impossible to parse out any meaning from it. Still, Flesch-Kincaid puts it at a 7th-grade reading level. Just because…

1. That would be a great point if Serena Williams wasn’t the #1 player in the world.

I really wish men would realize that they too have hormones... -_-

I guess you haven’t been following tennis for very long, because when the top men are ‘inconsistent’ it is ALWAYS a sign of the incredible depth of the whole mens field. When top women are ‘inconsistent’ it’s ALWAYS a sign of how emotionally or physically fragile the top women are that they can be beaten by just…

Especially with everything both sisters (Venus, moreso) did to bring equal prizes to the sport. Fuck this guy.

He felt that Serena and Venus coming back was too much good press for his event. Gotta remind everyone what awful looks like.

This is an issue which honestly enrages me, because due to a craptastic job market I started my career in customer service and was paid terribly. I was promoted twice within that company, and every time was told “hey look, big raise!” because even a big percentage of a small salary is actually not a ton of money (how…

Ok I have a legitimately hilarious (and illustrative) anecdote here. A high flying (white, male, raised in a privileged home) neurosurgeon I briefly dated (was banging) told me that being a veterinarian doesn’t pay well anymore, and it was women’s fault because they’re willing to work for lower pay. In other words,…
