Any woman who doesn’t get inspired to become a serial killer (a la Dexter) after working in business is a feminist hero. HUGS.

THIS! I cannot stand any of them because of their “faith” (cult) and obvious lack of intellect, strength of character - or whatever excuse they have for not getting away from those criminal, tax-evading sickos. OR, worse, if they’re pretending for career advancement.
I have a professional job, have been called “shrill” and “bitchy” because I was forceful and refused to take shit from anyone, went through a divorce, and was a single mother who faced repercussions and ridicule at work when I needed to care for my child. I AM A FEMINIST HERO, TOO! Who knew? I thought I was just an…
Read it again. (Italics mine)
Anderson’s pay on the show originally was half of Duchovny’s largely in part to her being a new actress. I’m glad that she was later able to get pay equity both on the old series & new. That said, today, she’s arguably a more prominent star (e.g. higher rated on IMDB) and an Emmy winner for best actress for her work…
the network initially required Scully to always stand a few feet behind Mulder
I’d argue she is actually more famous than duchovney now. Especially after Hannibal and The Fall. Other than Californication, has Duchovney done anything of note? Not to mention she hasn’t had any addiction problems, is generally a better actress, and somehow managed to Benjamin button herself.
It’s awesome she was able to get equal pay, and even more awesome that she’s not being quiet about the bullshit. Hopefully this will continue to encourage other female co-stars to speak out about things like this.
I like how PR time was spent on you because Bratz can’t sustain a sassy post mocking their stupid idea
I got married at 30, with an advanced degree, a good job, and a growing career. We never had “money issues”... we are mostly on the same page when it comes to the money. We both earned similar amounts. We both worked hard and agreed on the importance of saving for retirement, minimizing debt, etc. We eventually…
When I was younger I worked at a charity thrift store which was mostly run by elderly women volunteers. They’d sit around the break room table with their sandwiches and sometimes give us younger girls advice and the one unanimous thing they all had to tell us — literally all of them — was don’t get married.
As someone who has worked with survivors of domestic violence and as someone who is below the poverty line (because I chose a career that works with survivors of domestic violence), these articles feel like such a heavy “should” that so many can't accomplish. I appreciate your acknowledgment that this is a pipe dream…
Even better: just don’t get married.
I agree with what you’re writing and the importance of having some degree of financial freedom, but being in a relationship requires some mutual financial sharing. My wife & I have separate checking accounts, but the lion’s share goes into the joint bill-paying one. What did you find particularly horrifying about The…
I adore you, Jennifer, and I support your goals, but I’m pretty sure Helen Mirren is going to do the bikini thing before you.
That was great!
