And so ends the Great Antibacterial Soap War in the Footsteps household, with me victorious. Also, with hands smelling lightly of lavender, because I really like that smell.

Professional infection preventionist here: unless you’re doing a surgical scrub, regular soap works fine. The point of soap is WASHING OFF stuff, not killing it. That’s what sanitizer is for (save C. diff or norovirus; see: washing off stuff).

This is not why they have been banned. They do plenty - the reason(s) for the ban in consumer products is that they are unnecessary and also harmful.

As a microbiologist I’ve been trying to get people to stop using that shit for years, but I think I finally gave up a little while back. Yay, FDA!

Does this mean I won’t have to spend 10 minutes in the soap aisle trying to find one of the two handsoaps that aren’t anti-bacterial now?! This is brilliant news! Down with the bacteria hysteria and up with good old fashioned soap and just actually washing your hands.

The only thing that’s more shit-smeared than the bathroom doorknob are all of our phones. I’m still alive.

There have been actually studies on this. In general, employers (both male and female) reward male candidates/employees for negotiating, but they punish women for it. Men who negotiate are seen as strong and confident and adept at establishing their own value. Women who negotiate are seen as greedy, ungrateful…

It’s complicated- black men weren’t being lynched because white women were offended that they looked at them, it was white men thinking white women belonged to them, and punishing black men for looking at their trophies. I don’t really believe black men have it better than white women, I think they mostly face the…

Start blocking off afternoons on your calendar and wearing very nice business clothing/makeup/haircut/polished shoes on those mornings. Even if you’re not interviewing elsewhere, make them think you are.

Black men were considered worthy of a right to vote long before white/any women were.

Zero surprise here. The shock and occasional angerI have sometimes seen from managers when their female employees ask for a raise or complain about their compensation is telling. Even when a dude asks for a raise and doesn’t get it, at least the manager is not surprised and/or offended by the question. Women are still…

I’m sure he thought this witty call-out would result in getting to see her tits, naturally

I mean, how did he imagine that was going to go?

Why does anyone go to a show to yell stupid things at the people onstage? Why did he buy a ticket? Was he given a ticket? Why did he show up? Where’s the fun in yelling stupid shit at someone who has a) a microphone, b) spotlights, c) security, and d) years of professional experience dealing with bozos like you?

“Don’t pretend you don’t speak English. You just yelled “Show us your tits!...don’t get shy.”

While Sweden is not it’s natural habitat (see: Twitter), the douchebag has spread to every corner of the globe through aggressive mating strategies.

“I’ll show my tits when I want to,” she concluded

TITS actually means Temporary International Trade Sanctions and he was curious about the extent to which they were going to be implemented under Clinton, since Schumer is somewhat close to her inner circle.

I dunno, she looks pretty volumptuous to me.

“Breast implants” does not equal “curvy”, Taylor.
