Please, point out to me where I did. I’ll wait.

The issue for claiming wage discrimination is that it’s very, very hard to prove. It’s not enough to say “I make less than my male co-workers.” No court is going to buy that. The primary issue is that pay has many factors that go into it - primarily education and experience. To prove wage discrimination, you would…

So...no answer as to how union busting is comparable to sexual harassment, or how a complaint numbering one in total can constitute a “high percentage of people?” Honey, I know you fancy yourself intelligent, but you’re slipping lately. You were so fun before, don’t disappoint me now ;)

It says they’re accused of discouraging unions - which is true, but union-busting has little to do with sexual harassment (unless somehow, unions are sex segregated). You were expressly talking about the “small minority group” making the majority of the complaints - which is not stated anywhere in the article (of…

And you got that how from the article? The article says nothing about the company’s history. All we know from this article is that 1.) Tesla employs a lot more men than women (but that is not surprising, given the pool they pull from) and 2.) One woman is filing suit. The case has not even reached discovery, so we…

You misunderstand - this is perfectly in keeping with the Trump administration’s MO! For example: Trump, last week, when over the heads of multiple people to fire a guy named Shermichael Singleton. Singleton is a black Republican who is a long time advisor to Ben Carson, who will be running HUD. Singleton also worked…

I think it’s a variety of things:

Except I was talking about the BOYCOTT. Which was, you know, a few years ago. At the time of that, those were the policies. They since moved the insured employees onto the ACA exchanges (frankly, I will be interested to see what they do if that is rescinded). Also - yes, if you’ve worked in fast food, you’d know that…

But you like me so much ;)

I have no idea how large the group is. But my question would be - why does it matter? I do not believe it to be the function of feminists to quiz every woman to decide if her reasons for a name change are “sufficient.” I believe in allowing the individual to choose that (or is “trust women” only a slogan for…

In her (limited) defense, there is such a school of thought called “Individualist Feminism.” Like, it is a real thing - although it’s not a very smart thing. It’s basically a convoluted form of Libertarianism that argues that the most feminist thing a woman can do is basically advance herself at all costs. It’s weird.…

Um....can you cite something beyond one statement on a review website? I cited that they do get guaranteed time off - the franchises all close on Sunday, so they do get weekly guaranteed time off - which again, is not the standard in the fast food industry, where most schedules are set on-call and availability must be…

The part they don’t even get is that turning off the TV does NOTHING. Like, nothing at all. Don’t like a celebrity’s politics? Don’t pay to see anything they’re in, endorse, do, etc. Money talks. But, sure as shit, the same people I know who complain about celebrities being “too political” will watch the movies, buy…

No, he’s pointing out that the problem with the law is that it solely empowers PROSECUTORS, who are a notoriously partisan group (despite all claims to the contrary). It’s not a law that vests any special powers in police or elected officials. So yeah, I could easily foresee the Tea Party getting it if the prosecutor…

Um...upthread, another poster cited an article in which a CFA employee states “We get unpaid vacation.” Unless you’ve only bothered to read your own comments, which...well, that’s your own issue.

Like I said, I presume this is now either performance art or you’ve developed some kind of attraction to me. Either way, it’s flattering. Again, please go on ;)

Please, continue. I’m kind of fascinated by the amount of time you’ve invested here now, so I’m curious to see how far you can go with this. Don’t give up now!

But your presumption is still that those “swimming with the current” are somehow playing into the “bad” side of things. Sometimes, one’s personal interests simply happen to align with the more popular choice - that in and of itself is not evidence of “siding” with the patriarchy. I’ve met women who changed their names…

Um....

But I never said changing your name IS feminist. I believe it to be a neutral action. The fact that society at large prefers it does not mean every single woman who does it has anti-feminist motives. The motives for name changes vary widely, as I have come to find. Feminism is, for me, about breaking down expectations…
