I can’t remember which airline it was - I’m leaning towards it being American, as they were who usually did the first leg of my journey - but I was bumped off a flight to JFK from DC due to overbooking two days before Christmas several years back. Obviously at that time of year, everyone is desparate to get home on…

Just to make it clear. The aircraft was not “overbooked”. It only became overbooked when four additional United employees showed up late and demanded seats.

I’m on several job posting lists. No joke, this morning I got a job opening ad for a public relations specialist for United. I can only hope it’s because United’s entire department threw their hands up and quit yesterday.

Would it be fair to say that the Wage Gap is the symptom and not the disease?

Oh, I’m sure! I’m sure there’s oversimplification on both sides. However, every article or argument I’ve read from equal pay supporters acknowledges factors like the one Goldin mentioned. So the way I see it, at least, it’s sort of like, yeah, of course there are other factors to consider, that’s what we’ve been…

-“You can’t mansplain away the wage gap”
-First two comments “Hold my beer”

Both points agree there still is a gap, so I guess that’s progress. However, I feel both are saying that it is the women’s fault. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Regarding Freddie’s point about parenting: Maybe you’re right. There still is a gap.…

Bianca del Rio gif party right here, right now. I will get things started:

This idea would not go over well at fucking all WB should steer clear. So, that’s what they’re 100% doing.

Exactly even the misogynists over on reddit are like “there has to be at least one woman writter in Hollywood better than Joss. Come on Warner bros.”

me in 2007 if i heard this : OMG JOSS WHEDON IS GOING TO DO A BATGIRL MOVIE HOLY SHIT WOW WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

me now hearing this: meh, wonder how he’s going to fuck it up oh well

Madeleine...you can’t just tease us like that. We need a picture of the manicure!

We really need some form of Jezzie meetup thing that is like ... a message board for regions so we can all make adult friends? I see this repeatedly on here, and it seems like people who frequent this site might appreciate finding other like people in the real world. I am 31 and in Austin, and could seriously use some…

It’s about female journalists, not photographers specifically, but War Torn: Stories of War from the Women Reporters Who Covered Vietnam is excellent.

Here’s a few gifs:

How are any of these things incompatible with actual feminism? If you think they are, and deserve a special label of “Conservative Feminism” (which doesn’t really exist), then you don’t actually understand what feminism is. For example, we should definitely have home ec classes in schools, but they should be required…

Ex cop here.

When I was in university in US, I was part of women’s engineering society. I would get at presentations for new students why I was part of organization.

I read that in my head as “Men Says” rather than a play on the word “menses”. And upon further reading, I don’t think my initial interpretation was all that far off.

I love the sign-making supplies idea! Also, as a fellow Bostonian (well, Boston-area-n, anyway) I feel like we should figure out a way to organize a Jezebel Resistance group to coordinate transportation down the DC and other activities...
