And any advice for the huge chunk of women (I would guess the majority of women) who are in a job where they are replaceable and therefore can't just "learn to say I AM NOT DONE TALKING" because they'll get reprimanded/fired/ostracized?

Yeah in many, many business situations if you start repeating I AM NOT FINISHED I AM NOT FINISHED I AM NOT FINISHED you're going to get pulled aside for not being cooperative and not being a team player and can't you just be nicer?

Finally, a reason I heap garlic onto everything I cook.

That's my mom's drink of choice. The smell of it will always remind me of when I was a kid and thought all alcohol was disgusting and was judgy about it, and the taste of it will always remind me of being a young adult and getting smashed with my mom off of it.

The SAT has a penalty for guessing - if you have literally 0 clue what the answer is, and guess and answer wrong, it takes points away from your score. If you have 0 clue and leave it blank, the question just doesn't give you any points. When I was in high school there was a lesson all about when it's okay to guess…

You have a problem. Calm yourself.

It's hard to judge because my team is spread out across the country so we only ever talk over phone meetings - which also means that talking over one another is bound to happen at some point due to lag and not having any physical cues that someone is waiting to say something. When the one other woman on my team and I…

Then take it to the next level and start crashing into them. Its fun!

Complete nonsense. Most people think poly = open relationship not multiple marriages.

Is it really true that people only hear negative stories about poly/non-monogomous relationships?

Just from a quick google search:

You'd be shocked how curated we each have our lives. Just look at the news feed on Facebook of a person who grew up in completely different circumstances than you and took a different life path and you'll see what's shared there (both link-wise and opinion-wise) is completely different, gives you a different idea of…

To be fair, often the distinction between "troll" and "actual reader of the blog that has abhorrent opinions" is very thin to outsiders. If I'm an outsider in a blog and go to read the comments and see multiple troll comments, ones specifically designed to make me upset, I wouldn't necessarily be able to tell if those…

There is no reason to equate consciously changing your language due to sociological studies showing it's harmful for the development of children with "being a helicopter". It must be nice to be able to dismiss all concerns with, once again, a broad brush that is as inaccurate as it is sweeping.

I had the SAME REACTION to the gun range. After a few rounds I could feel myself tearing up and then by the time we left I was in full on cry mode. My boyfriend was so confused and thought I was miserable when I was just like....startled by all the noise and had a reaction to it. With all these connected stories I…

This is as unhelpful as saying "Don't overcomplicate life, just breathe in and out and consume calories and water!" or "It's not rocket science to do brain surgery: just learn the thing and do the thing, Christ."

My high school had a rule: for junior and senior prom, you had to have a date. And because it was a Catholic school, it had to be boy-girl. I had a crush on this junior when I was a senior, and asked him to go to the prom with me. He was completely enthusiastic about it and I was ecstatic. All he had to do was get a…

Laws don't matter when it comes to what they allow on their private service....if they say "we don't allow revenge porn, and if you have proof that you don't consent to public naked pictures, we'll suspend your account" then they have the right to do that regardless of what the laws say against revenge porn.

That would be relevant if the social media company was like Facebook, who says "by using Facebook you consent to this". We're talking about a company that is emphatically not saying that by using Twitter you are consenting to revenge porn. In fact, they are looking for proof that you did not consent. It's a completely…
