I would be nice to be out of the grays at some point too...le sigh...

For a Gucci bag, maybe. :)

Speaking of changing work culture for women, I’d like to Jezzie-discuss this excerpt from Adequate Man. How many of you ladies out there have been assigned event planning in the workplace? This response caught my eye because both parties are most likely male and the advice was to act like the work is “beneath” him. Do…

Okay, I know this is off topic, but I don’t see any other good story to Jezzie-discuss this excerpt from Adequate Man. How many of you ladies out there have been assigned event planning in the workplace? This response caught my eye because both parties are most likely male and the advice was to act like the work is…

Replace “friend” with “this jerk I know”...how horrible! Unless there is a gaping wound on your arms, no one is feeling sick, aside from that awful jerk.

This.

Minkcoat is suggesting censorship. I hope you reject that. From an academic perspective, most informed intellectual Jewish circles would say that EVERYONE has a stake in learning and teaching about genocide.

Incidentally, this is true in other countries as well. I’ve noticed that real Spaniards in real Spain (not whatever Mexico-Spain this lady was poppin’ off about) who instruct immigrants to speak Castilian have only a middling grasp on their mother language themselves. There’s usually a similar power dynamic…

I guess so, which is...weird, but I always assumed women were more susceptible to hangovers. No science to back that up, just personal experience. Regardless, a cup of kalitmotxo is essentially a ticket to a hangover...

Round that list out with an incest-themed title, and you should start your own site!

Amazing. Whenever I come across a name that...specific, I marvel at how BOTH parents agreed it would be the best label for their child.

When I chose “kalimotxohangover” I didn’t think of it as masculine or feminine, but apparently many readers on Jezebel read it as masculine. I’ve received a few catty “that’s because you’re a man!” responses, which was surprising. My real name is unmistakably girly, so it’s actually been kind of refreshing to stroll…

Yeah. Hmm. I’ve traveled quite a bit for research trips in grad school—Europe, Middle East, Latin America. I’ve traveled some in the US, but not as much (funding dictates where I travel). I’ve had to deal with enough creepers/sexual harassment than I care to think about, and I’m not sleeping in parks. How can a single…

This text reminds me of Bloomberg speaking in “Spanish” during Hurricane Irene. LOL. Thanks for the memories! (But seriously thanks for trying).

Thank you. I will now follow this as religiously as I would any GOOP “article.”

Solid action plan, I can do all of these things.

I actually don’t mind Honeyfund. I mean, a lot of couples already have the place mats and salt shakers, but their guests still want to get them something. I’ve seen what happens when couples don’t register for something...weird art, etc.

This. Can we all just buy ourselves a bottle of wine (or beer) that weekend, and pat ourselves on not the back for not perpetuating this woman’s professional narcissism? Good grief.

1. Yes.

Can there (pretty please) be a summer series of day-in-life of all the different staff? Cherry on top?
