Yes, agreed. But I would go further to argue that who is performing audits or looking into the unpaid internships? I made a similar comment just now because I just don’t get how people can do this. I recognize that many are forced into it for professional experience. In fact, many career coaches and temp agencies will…

Shouldn’t one internship be enough? How much free labor are we allowing companies to squeeze out of kids? Dickens would shit himself over this.

It’s amazing to me that anyone still puts up with the scam of unpaid internships. Too many people, from the interns themselves to the (for-profit) companies that employ them, don’t understand that unpaid internships are largely illegal under the DoL’s Fair Labor Standards Act. In order for an unpaid internship to be…

They may not be the worst thing, but they’re easily top 10.

They are terrible! Sometimes you don’t get Zika symptoms but bed bugs with infest your apartment and you’ll have to put all of your things in bags for literally weeks and possibly throw out your mattress and it also requires your apartment to be basically fumigated with icky bad chemicals. EEEEEEEEEEEEK

Yup. 1974 was when the Equal Credit Opportunity Act was passed and most women still didn’t have widespread access until ‘78 or ‘79. I still can remember the day my mother got one. I was 8 and it was 1979. She cried.

Yup! When I bring it up to the younger generation, they can’t believe it. It really wasn’t that long ago.

Or to women at all. There was a time (late 70's) when a woman couldn’t get a credit card in her own name. Any woman who uses a “female” sounding name on an account should be denied.

As they say analog letters are perceived as equivalent to like 100 emails or so...

Me too, as I sit in my desk in an LE dress and LE boots.

This is also the End Times. I mean, this is a catalogue clothing company and they can’t donate money to the UN Women’s Fund for Women’s Equality because it causes moral outrage. In 2016.

Well, fuck. I’ve probably spent close to a thousand bucks with them on kids’ clothes and work basics. Time to write a nasty letter.

In Germany it was in 1997. °__° ... O__0

Spousal rape is its own special kind of hell. How do you reconcile that the person who constantly tells you “You’re the most important person in my life” could do that to you? How do you deal with the massive betrayal of trust from the person you’ve chosen to spend the rest of your life with? After it happened (well,…

It’s a real shame conversvatives are so reactionary about Sharia law. I think if they sat down and really took the time to give it a fair look they’d find a lot of common ground. It could be a chance to build some bridges thanks to both group’s dedication to opressing women.

Can this day get any worse? First Cecil, now this. Where’s that cat gif?

i’m enjoying the irony of trump having a viewpoint in line with sharia law

I guess I never realized that spousal rape only became illegal in 1993. That is f’ing bananas. What the actual shit, man.

At first when you said "particularly choice excerpts", I was afraid you were being sarcastic and I was cringe-reading. And then I got very happy. Terry Crews for President.
