C.J. didn’t bother asking Bieber for the money because he “didn’t want to bother him.”

Sexism is not a wrong perpetuated by men. It’s an institutional force that affects all of us. The fact that motherhood results in lower pay for women is sexism at work, as it reflects a system that values certain kinds of work over others, and accommodates people who have fewer family responsibilities (men) while…

Yeah, it’s also a huge reason companies are hesitant to even hire early-mid 20 year old women. They can basically hear your biological clock a tickin away.

If you want to have a child, but you also want to continue working, it’s really hard. A lot of new mothers are forced to quit their jobs (even if they’d rather…

Yes, but child rearing is part of the economic problem- this is a societally-necessary task that overwhelmingly affects women more than men, and women are not compensated for performing this work. This is why some countries have started to pay people to have children and stay home with them- women are reluctant to…

I hate this so much, I had a pretty decent job and I got pregnant and my husband and I decided that I was gonna stay home at least for 5 years raising our child. My replacement was hired and it was a guy, when training him it came up that his salary was going to be 20k more a year than I made and his qualification…

I don’t think the study really proves sexism has nothing to do with it.

Somebody needs to get this delicate flower into a safe space.

It’s always a decent idea to have the phone number for the National Lawyer’s Guild (the NLG) with you at a large march, just in case. It’s extremely unlikely to be necessary but having it might mean the difference between waiting hours in jail and waiting a day or more.

If voters are still voting republican they deserve whatever they get.

ill be there!

For jezzies who are going, one of us (formerly known as Tampa BeeAtch) set up a meetup group so we can coordinate and find one another. Here it is: https://www.meetup.com/JEZZIEs-March-on-Washington-Meetup/

Boston too! There are buses coming in from Western MA and the Cape. I think Chicago, San Francisco, and a lot of other cities will have marches on the 21st too.

This type of energy is good for Democrats and must be channeled for grassroots organizing in opposing Trump’s agenda, the 2018 midterms and in local races across the country. Now that the Republicans are in complete control (as they were last decade), it’s time to give them a taste of their own medicine.

For me, racism is a constant struggle because I was raised in an environment where casual racism was common - even in people who felt they weren’t racist. Thus recognizing that you have this nurtured drive to distrust that which is different goes a long way to removing it from your daily life. But it is always there,…

Seriously. Call a white person a “racist” and watch them lose their shit. You can call them “peckerwood,” “honky,” and “cracker” all day long and get nothing but a shit-eating grin. But call a white person “racist” and you’d think they were burning down Tara all over again.

I call bullshit. Everyone knows that the only real ethnic slur for a white person is “racist.”

I thought the whole point of Brexit is that you could say this stuff now

Because he’s on probation and if he’s in violation there should be consequences.

Johnny is gonna be the topic of a really depressing 30 for 30 in five years.

Johnny’s idea of cutting back on the money he spends on partying is to roll up a ten dollar bill rather than a twenty in the club’s bathroom.
