I don't think the lamp is that bad and as a black woman, I probably wouldn't be offended if I saw this in a person's house. The key difference is the figure in the lamp is not depicted as an awful caricature, like the mammy lamp. I could totally see my mom having it in her living room. This lamp pays homage while the…

You sounds like a lovely person to work for and not at all like the worst stereotypes of HR people.

Thank you for your reasoned response. I know it is much more productive to be snarky than to analyze my statement for any validity. I'm sure your indignation will serve you well.

THIS is why people don't take feminism nor feminist seriously. While asking for permission may be rooted in a tradition that also came with a dowry and linked to inheritance, it has now developed into a sign of respect shown to the bride-to-be's family. So unless they haggle over the number of goats or other livestock…

It was for a gaming company. I'm in Denmark and the company was looking for native English speakers, so they posted an add in a professional group of international employees that are living in Denmark.

I got the best job I have ever done in my life through LinkedIn.

But how do you find a recruiter for specific company?

I looked into an internship with the UN for my master's program and was disgusted that they expected interns to work 40hrs a week, unpaid. Plus you can't work during that time and they don't even cover your travel expenses. Fuck that shit, fuck it, fuck it, fuck it!!!!

I think I've been around the Danes too much and they would never, never, never invite themselves over to someone's house. Home gatherings are planned, even down to the activities so an unexpected guest would throw the homeowner into a tizzy.

Which is why I qualified the statement with "friends and partners excluded". A relationship has already been established with these people, and they are people that have most likely been invited to your house before. At the very least, mutual interest has been established. They like you and you like them. But a person…

Oh girl, that's a tough one. I'd imagine about 50k, and you would still need to budget.

Nope, still stand by my statement. A person can invite the person over to their place. A person can ask someone out. But unless they already have a relationship established, asking to come over to their place is presumptuous and rude. The reason why is because you are imposing yourself into someone's personal space.…

No one should ask for an invite. Especially at 3am, on the night of your first date. Unless things went really, really, really well, I would advise you to move on. Sorry =(

I will talk to with the honesty and compassion I would show to my closest friends: He is not going to make you happy and I would urge you to reconsider entering into a relationship with him. He has violated your trust by not being open about the other woman, a forgivable transgression since you were not together. But…

Please for the love of all that is holy explain this fake wedding!

I thought that was the best article I've ever read on any site. Period.

Oh no, I totally agree with you! Sorry if I was unclear, but I you touched on the main points that have bothered me about modern feminism.

THIS is why I don't identify as a feminist.
