Pretty much. I just got back from Mysore India, which still has a Maharajah. There is a HUGE palace there that is basically just a tourist attraction and the King lives somewhere else most of the time. He has no governing powers, it’s title only.

I read all her quotes in Tahani’s cadence, and I am not sorry. I love that show so hard.

Briefly, first wave is suffragettes, second wave is Gloria Steinem et al during the 70s, and third-wave is Jezebel.

I can’t agree with this statement : “Show me a smart, competent young professional woman who is utterly derailed by a verbal unwanted sexual advance or an inappropriate comment about her appearance, and I will show you a rare spotted owl.”

“The majority of women in the workplace are not tender creatures and are largely adept at dealing with all varieties of uncomfortable or hostile situations,” Roiphe wrote in the New York Timesin 2011. “Show me a smart, competent young professional woman who is utterly derailed by a verbal unwanted sexual advance or
