So Hilary Clinton’s looking for a gig, anyone think she’d consider reading for the Audiobook ?

To your point- I work at a state agency, so all of our salaries are public record. We can look each other up in moments. And we still are very hesitant and tip toe around using numbers in conversation.

I understand, but culturally we have been conditioned not to talk about it,

Straw-colored is a technical term used with body fluids. It means the fluid is clear-ish and not showing signs of blood or pus.

Skin Cancer!

I work in health care, and I went to an awards ceremony to recognize those who worked on a statewide app to help a vulnerable population access services faster.

I am a teacher in the vicinity of Google headquarters. I have 8 years of experience, a Master’s degree, and am highly qualified. I make the equivalent of $37.50/hour. I had thought (not seriously) that I could sell out and join Google childcare, but not at that measly rate. I would LOVE to be paid the going local…

$18, $21 - either way, those are disgracefully low wages for professionals with Masters degrees, particularly in the high cost of living areas Google has offices. The gender wage disparity is terrible, but nicely sets up a corporate divide and conquer strategy - between the “have littles” and the “have even lesses”.…

This is not just a Google problem sadly. Teaching and child care are both very gendered in treatment and pay. It’s a classic “women dominate the field, but men somehow have the most prestigious positions/make the most money” situation. With teaching, women predominantly teach younger children, and men get pulled…

Safr exists and I think skirts (heh) by by saying that they are women-owned and women-focused, not women-exclusive. I’ve used them once, I’d like to use them more but unfortunately they haven’t hit critical mass of drivers yet so the few times I’ve tried the waits to be picked up have been 30 minutes plus.

This is funny, and I wish I could enjoy it. Unfortunately, I suffer from a rare disorder that makes it impossible for me to laugh at a joke comment unless its premise precisely matches the content of the article. :(

I tell ya what, I’ll explain the situation AROUND the joke and hope something connects for you.

I got your joke! And I find the subsequent mansplaining in the comments even more hilarious.

No, I am stating cliches about women in comedy, but flipping them so that they are about men.

It was relevant to the article, I even got it.

I agree with you and I have to mention that your comment perfectly encapsulates a storyline on Bojack Horseman where a taxi/Uber service with only female drivers serving only women (with safety of women being the main concern) turned into strippers driving cars for mostly men and one of the co-creators of the idea was…

I wish men weren’t cunts all the time. like I wish that wasn’t part of their version of masculinity. things could be so nice.

You guys, Alfred (“Al”) Rava is my neighbor and is a fucking terrorist on Nextdoor. His favorite online pastimes are threatening to sue others who say a bad word against him, ACTUALLY’ing people, and responding to ads to clarify the terms of their policies. He is a nightmare human being.

Holy fucking shit, Lindy. I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Luckily, I doubt the men who made those comments are aware of the vagina's location, so if any of them actually tried to follow through on a rape threat, you'd have time to run away while they were all WHERE'S THE SEX HOLE?
