Although the idea of a cruise is not at all appealing to me personally, I think it’s great that you and others with the same needs can have this option.

Often it doesn’t matter for a couple of reasons:

That was your takeaway? Several of my past workplaces have promoted many mediocre men over qualified women, and this has been the same experience among all of my female friends. I’m not sure why you think your unsuccessful attempt to discredit a valid comment is at all valuable.

Temperance above me is spot on. If you’re hesitant about direct confrontation for job security reasons, you can even use humor; how about something like “have you HEARD (male coworker’s) charming phone persona?? (*stop smiling*) As for me, I have a deadline within the next couple of hours that requires complete…

The choice seems like a balance of appeal toward targeted demographics, palatability for others, compatibility of policy similarities and differences, enough experience but not too much as to leave a vulnerability in the event they vacate their current position. I’m really eager to see how she arrives at her final…

I’ve been hearing this mediocrity for years, especially among the reality TV audition shows. All the white kids stretch out every word in that meandering forced vibrato. There’s no way they’re learning this via traditional instruction...more like they’re self-taught after years of top 40 stations.

I intensely dislike her music and am also not denying appropriation. I do wonder if age has anything to do with it, given that anyone born after 1980 has grown up with more than one generation of inbred artist appropriation (think 1990s boy bands and beyond). At this point you can’t really separate the components of…

I already see his potential to steal the crown of my all-time favorite reality TV villain, Toni from Paradise Hotel

I end up half watching while preparing dinner in the kitchen and swear these are actual contestants (in addition to Chad): Chat. Chet. Chaz. Jared. and so on

Many feminists have come of age not too long ago when instant access to information (often via a device in your pocket) is/was a given. The idea that sex work is sometimes not oppressive is still relatively new for the masses, and it’s going to take a lot of older people more time to adjust to this concept when…

PRIEST, COME JOIN US.

Their political history’s foundation partially comprises corruption, so it’s most likely inevitable. According to my Brazilian friends (and comments above), the issue isn’t whether or not her scandal itself was surprising, but rather the fact she underperformed according to her promises.

All of my Brazilian friends have said that Temer (and beyond) will be far worse than Dilma. Keep in mind that government corruption is ingrained within Brazil’s foundation to such an extent that you can’t simply say “well she should have avoided controversy.” So yes, within the context of Brazil’s history this is…

Interesting list of sources you have there. I generally see these associated with angry Clinton commentary from the BoBs on my Facebook feed.

WORLD’S CRAPPIEST CICADAS!!

I’m a Clinton supporter, and I supported the Ferguson protests because I knew they would be the catalyst for consistent action beyond the protests themselves. I observed Occupy with curiosity, but no one made much effort to turn that energy into a sustainable movement with voter education and drives. And that’s what I…

Maybe: “If he’s kidding, what’s the reason for focusing on the same ‘jokes’ toward women, Mexicans, and Muslims? Is this necessary to appeal to the bottom of the barrel? Are you implying his supporters either find them funny or agreeable? If so, are you enthusiastic to be on the same team with that crowd?”

The BoBs keep furiously posting poll after poll on my Facebook feed as if Sanders has been subjected to any GOP attacks, and general polls within the primary period count anyway. Then I realize these are people who have never followed nor participated in an election and have quite a bit to learn.

Yes to all of your points!

Great point! I don’t even think most men are intentionally doing so or aware of it, but rather the absence of a personal stake so it never occurs to them that their female peers could use the support.
