I think this is a march where it's safe to say that the VAST majority of the participants knew exactly why they were marching:

Sounds like a good place to negotiate flex time, work from home, additional vacation rather than salary... you may need to move to a new org or job title to get significantly more pay. I work in nonprofits too and it is hard.

What would they do if a man ordered a salad to start, with steak as an entree?

I suppose he'd also be able to name the agency and its owner and all that.

It's not a dick move. In other places besides the messed up USA system, restauranteurs charge the actual cost of what it takes to operate their restaurant. Instead of the USA where there is a culture that they give you things "for free" it ends up coming out short elsewhere. Their servers make a living wage most…

The shelter in my area won't adopt out to me because I'm unmarried (and, I suspect, because I'm queer - there was a question on the adoption form when I tried.) Now i'm only considering getting a pet from a breeder, because they will take my money whereas a shelter won't, and it's not because I have an inadequate home…

Yeah, breed advocates tend to be horrible cranks. My local shelter wouldn't let me adopt a dog because I'm not married. "You might get married someday to someone who doesn't like the dog." Discrimination at its finest. I live in a great house with backyard and work from home a lot and have a reasonable income;…

Why would gov't require that when you can just put a little electrical tape over the LED?

I hear you, that's all totally real.

That story is amazing... but if you are not white it is even more amazing. I'm laughing so hard I'm crying!

What the hell? You ever tried to talk to her about classism, and relations to working class professions? Sounds like she could use some intersectionality with that feminism.

Oh yeah that's a variation on a classic red flag. Like the people who are always accusing you of cheating are almost certainly cheating on you. They "know" you are cheating because they can't imagine NOT cheating.

First off... not only do they not believe the Holocaust happened, but that's so important to them, they had to announce it first thing.

Second... you can see photographs, video, and talk to people who are still alive and lived through the Holocaust. What the fuck?

As a teenager, I dated a rockabilly guy who tried to pull this "I don't get into cars made past 1965" bullshit, but when I was like "It's either this 1998 Saturn or you're taking that 1992 city bus" he got right on in.

Was he asking because he wanted to show you his, or because he was grossed out if you'd been with a black guy? Because while the first one is corny and presumptuous, the racism of the second one is worse.

"When you marry me, you won't have to be an [my career of choice that I love and have spent years developing] anymore!"

BYE BYE DUDE

I'm less confused by why he'd allow it, than why she'd do it.

Even as a police abolitionist, I have to give you a high five for this. That dude did not see it coming. And it was amazing.

I want to know how he SMELLED them? Like did he walk up to a group of workers and sniff pit? What?

That has got to be as bad as dudes who message you with a list of their camera equipment, or aggressively asking about your camera equipment, so they can hit on you by way of telling you that their gear is better and more expensive than your gear. My best experience was some guy telling me he'd like to show me how a…
