Totally similar experiences. Men also don’t ever help kids who SO CLEARLY need help. I was picking up food the other day (broad daylight, in front of shops) and walking to my car when I saw/heard these two maybe 10 yr old boys struggling to get their bikes locked to the weird bike rack because they couldn’t maneuver…

Public record (county assessor will have it). If it’s an LLC or LP, the secretary of state’s business record division will be able to tell you who the partners are, and the agent for service of process. Sometimes this leads to the people, sometimes it leads to another shell company, and sometimes it leads to a dead…

I am trying to figure out of these are hud-subsidized properties that now require affordable rents, or if he just got the types of insurance that any one of us who wants to go buy a qualifying a 5+ unit rental property can get. If it’s the first, I have issues with that, if it’s the second, meh, anyone can do it.

Here’s the thing — she literally gets no time off at all when the Senate is in session. She can’t predict — hell, we can’t predict — when a vote will take place, whether it will be delayed (ahem Rand Paul), how long it will take etc. She can plan for some childcare with her husband and a nanny, but she can’t possibly…

I had been working at a company for about a year, and was the top producer and basically needed no oversight. I ask my male boss for a raise. Fucker had the gall to tell me that I didn’t deserve a raise because I didn’t smile enough. I didn’t work with the public — I sat a computer all day. I soon found out (when…

I am at a Not Explicitly Racist Agency and it’s not impacting my social life. I guess that could also be because I do civil rights work, am in a liberal city/state, and I always preface my place of employment with a statement about disliking Trump. I have been very disappointed in some of the policy shifts we have…

It was such a #metoo moment and she didn’t realize it. She felt she owed him sex because she ended up in a hotel room with him. The internalized misogyny and just...ugh.

As a lawyer, the minute he told the NYT that he paid the hush money, I was digging up the NY rules of professional conduct to check out this exact rule, because as you say, every state has one. I wonder if there is an open Bar investigation into him, because there should be.

If any of the assets were ill-gotten (i.e. the result of money laundering), they can be seized even if awarded in a divorce. Forfeiture laws target the money/property, not the person, so the state just needs to prove the connection to a crime. Assets that were not acquired as a result of a criminal activity can be…

Read it, and if you continued to read my post you would see that was step one in the list of things I’d do.

Special case.

Um, if someone told me to put my dog in the bin, I’d be like, “Yo there is a dog in there.” And if they continued to insist, I would ask to speak to the head attendant, and then the pilot. And if they still insisted, I’d get my ass off that plane. NOTHING would cause me to put my dog in the overhead bin. I would risk…

they were always out at the entrance to my college campus, too. smart kiddos.

I went door-to-door in my neighborhood as a kid, with my mom or dad trailing a house behind me. It was hard because I was shy, but I did it. When it came time to deliver, I loaded up the wagon, and dropped them off. We also ran our own tables at that age. For the most part, when I see tables, I see the girls doing the…

TBH, I only use the pressure cook, sauté and steam functions as well.

I’m obsessed with my IP and have had it for a good 6 months. I also turned a few coworkers and family members into fanatics. No one is afraid or spewing things into the air.

My boss at my last job asked those of us who were getting paid more (we negotiated a higher salary because we basically did her job) to keep it quiet. I refused. Everyone knew why I got paid more (seniority, duties0, and had no problem with it. When they started taking on those duties or other higher-level duties, we…

Agreed. I think if you care about women and women’s issues, and lifting all women up, then you need to be cognizant about the fact that race/ethnicity impact how women experience different women’s issues. It’s not enough to fight for equal pay — you need to fight for equal pay that overcomes not just the gender gap,…

I need you to re-read what you wrote in the context of both AnnNova’s statement and the larger conversation of this post. AnnNova’s entire post was about the creepy and inappropriate behavior being exhibited by her landlord and his son, both of whom live on-site, and who are making her uncomfortable. My entire post…

Sooooo I’ve actually been a fair housing attorney for some time now, and I’ve seen a lot (even worse than what is described in the article). The creepiest son? Yeah, that’s probably going to escalate. He’s been preening around you — walking around with his shirt off and trying to “help you.” You have clearly rejected…
