No, it's not illegal because HR departments usually set wages based on a formula that has A LOT of wiggle room. This is really a multi-pronged problem.

1) Men are more likely to negotiate, in part because their demands are met more positively than those from a woman. Some of this is just sexism and fear of women…

You're going to need to cite that, please. Moreover, we're talking here about jobs in the WHITE HOUSE, not overall in the entire economic sector. I can't imagine that White House employees, as presumably non-exempt workers, get overtime. More to the point, Jezebel looked up the actual salaries, which showed men…

Actually, she's ethnically Russian, born in a breakaway republic in Moldova, living in Ukraine.

That is literally not related to this conversation at all, considering that the whole "rationale" that the Ottomans gave for ethnic cleansing was that the Armenians sided with the Russian Empire in a war. Whether or not Armenians have been historically brutalized is not at all related to the question of whether or…

Everywhere I've ever been. I'll give you that Armenians are sort of at the edge of whiteness, in that they are swarthier than your average Swede (but not more so than your average Central or Southern Italian). They are also Christian, which is a big signifier of "whiteness" in the West.

The Holodomor (basically a forced famine) was in 32-33, but there was a smaller famine across the USSR in 46-47. However, the post-war famine was related to drought and the war, as well as probably some mismanagement. It wasn't a tool of repression the way the earlier famine had been.

The effect is enhanced with special contact lenses. So it is both makeup and the lenses that make her eyes look enormous.

It just goes to show how very sheltered this woman is, if the worst example of miscegenation she can think of is when two different kinds of White people hook up.

The amazing part is that she's from Ukraine. Stalin didn't die until 1953 and Khrushchev's secret speech (generally regarding as the turning point away from Stalinism) wasn't until 1956. So she is literally glorifying an era in which millions were killed in the gulags of the Soviet Union.

Right? So...Brown is a Democrat with the body of a Republican (Schwarzenegger)? How is that an insult?

I used to live overseas, in a part of the world fetishized for its beautiful and "obedient" women. I can't tell you how many times I met dudes who had come over to meet their beloveds, only to find out that they had been completely and totally scammed. It happened all the time. Part of me felt bad for them, as they…

They make seats that rear face to 40 lbs and then you can turn them around and use them for years as a forward-facing five-point harness until 70 or 80 lbs. I use a Radian, but other people swear by Britax or the Graco Fit4Me. Basically, all you have to do is look for a "convertible" carseat - one that will allow…

Kids will tend to have their legs splayed or crossed in front of them, not pushed up to their nose. Besides, as Carmen Sandiego says below, a broken leg is way better than a severed spinal cord.

With that said, crash test data has not shown an increased rate of lower extremity injury among rear-facing children when…

Um....yeah. Probably. I mean, when you have young kids you find yourself saying lots of things among adults that you wouldn't expect to. It just gets to be a habit and then you find yourself excusing yourself to use the "potty" in front of your boss.

I'm with ReasonWeeps2. The Gay Mafia didn't hold a gun to his head and make him resign. He was forced out because his political activities were bringing negative attention to the organization and the product. That's pretty much how capitalism works. When you take a public position that offends a large number of…

Honestly, I think it started when it became no longer acceptable to tell kids to sit "Indian Style."

Also, I genuinely do not know whether the phrase "Indian Style" referred to South Asians or Native Americans. I can see the case for both.

Good for you. I'm a stickler for carseat safety. It's easy when they are babies, but things get a little harder when they get older and you're sick of buckling a five-point harness on your kindergartner (some are easy for kids to buckle themselves, others less so). But it really is worth it given how common…

We rear-faced until three even though my oldest was tall for her age. Honestly, I only turned her because she had noticed that she was the only one still rear-facing at preschool drop-off. Comfort-wise, she never had any objections.

Most kids will happily sit criss-cross-applesauce even if they can't stick their legs straight out rear facing. Here are some photos that one blogger put together: http://thestir.cafemom.com/toddler/120133…

That's the recommendation. The law is 1 in most states, but the recommendation is 2 AND 20 lbs. Here's an article on the new guidelines: http://www.parenting.com/article/car-se…
