EFE TEN CINCO!

Here’s another option. Stop setting every show in New York (or LA). The city doesn’t play a role in most of the shows, and the rest of the country isn’t as enamoured of NY as TV producers like to pretend.

It’s a lot better to watch fictional funny strangers in an apartment that’s much nicer than my house than t is to watch obnoxious real-life people 10 years younger than me buying a home with a budget that was 10X mine, as it is on HGTV.

To be fair, half of the second season of Kimmy Schmidt is about that neighborhood gentrifying. It’s not like they were ignoring it.

To answer the headline- my mom. My mom cares about the unrealistic apartment size standards set by tv shows. She was especially appalled by the living units on Friends, so much so that I couldn’t watch it until I moved into a dorm for school. And then, when sharing a 250 (tops) sq ft living space with a stranger, I…

Yeah, it’s not hipsters, there’s just overlap between artists and hipsters. It’s always been the art people move in because rent is cheap/ownership is affordable, then the students show up because the artists made the neighborhood “cool”, then the yuppies show up to profit off the students and their parents.

It’s refreshing to see slightly-more realistic apartment types. It’s one of the reasons I love Broad City. Not only do the apartments remind me of ones I’ve lived in or had friends live in (NY area), but their jobs aren’t glamorous.

On a related note: In episode 2F09 when Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that…

I’m all for zero tolerance. Get rid of all the perverts and predators.

Yes. Please. Even better if you call out men who take/parrot women’s ideas and contributions. It is always appreciated when someone jumps in to point out that the idea Nickerson shared that everybody is nodding at actually originated with Nancy. And it discourages the next guy from doing the same thing, because it…

Wow, Anna Merlan, what a great suggestion! Hey everyone! Anna Merlan just suggested we should listen to what Stassa said! Way to go, Anna Merlan!

As a man, I have a great idea.
If women would like to be heard more in the workplace, when one woman makes a point, the other women in the room should reiterate the idea and credit the initial speaker.

I was all on board and excited about this stratagem until you ended the article with discussion of maternity leave and pumping rooms. Surely that wasn’t all the female voices had to say (not that parental issues aren’t important, but these were cabinet members and high-level staffers, right? Surely they had more to…

I love it, but I think your points are completely true. Not only that, but the Obama WH is a space where people are more to the left- there is still tons of sexism on the left, but men are less likely to admit to and embrace it. In an actively hostile work environment, or even a more neutral space, women sticking up…

It also requires that the women you work with are able to see the disparity, and want to change it.

Except his daughters. One as concubine and one as maid.

I love you, Bobby. I didn't realize what I was missing until I met you.

“We don’t hate her because she’s a woman! Her being a woman has nothing to do with it!”

Basket of deplorables? You don’t say....

The assault had a long impact on Davis’ sister: “From there, a precocious, very intelligent, very creative child grew up to be frail, angry, a drug addict by the time she was 20,”
