No, she had no idea different fabrics existed and breathed differently until you, sweetheart. ;)

When I apply this to other social issues I cringe though.

Willful ignorance is to pretend those are the same.

You sound intentionally dense here. Your comment was a complaint that the author focused on women’s dress code issues and not men’s dress code issues. Someone called you out and pointed out boys in skirts and other men’s dress code inequality stories have already been covered on Jezebel and you’re just like “I didn’t…

Agreed it’s very stupid. Banning cleavage in a workplace setting, fine, but shoulders?? I’m the type who will rock sleeveless or weird cut-out patterns even in winter because I sweat a ridiculous amount and walk everywhere. Undershirts help but only so much. My giant pit stains halfway down my shirt are definitely…

I’m sorry but now you sound willfully ignorant. They felt ashamed because companies almost universally shame any employment gap, even if it is to raise children or care for sick family members or any other care-giving role. Acting like you aren’t aware of this makes me take your opinions considerably less seriously.

They have NOT been normalized, why else would so many mothers I knew growing up as a kid have felt ashamed about going back into the job market after having kids? You’re barely allowed to acknowledge you took time off to have kids and as you said on other posts, companies don’t care which is lovely.

I agreed with the phrase “I was at home with my baby”...

A matter-of-fact statement on a resume with those words would work, fair. :)

Fair enough in today’s corporate climate, I suppose. And of course if a person wants to return to a given field, they should stay abreast of changes in said field and needed skills.

PREACH! I was single for 5 glorious years and while I love having half the chores done by someone else and having sex most days, there are moments - like when he takes away my pillow I use as a cool adult teddy bear cuz I’ve hit him with it too many times that night, or farts ON me while asleep in bed, or sings…

Jesus H. Christ. I’m 29 & cannot even BEGIN to imagine a state of mind where grooming a 17yo sounds like a good idea to me. The fact the people defend that shit with legality instead of the obvious immorality and predatory nature of it is astonishing.

Oh boy. An ex slapped me randomly in the face with his dick once and I thought it was...funny? We were a very happy trusting couple and he had read about mushroom stamps and felt goofy. I burst out laughing, not offended.

So would you mention pregnancy on a resume at all or just not mention why there’s a gap?

What’s unprofessional about Pregnancy Pause, though? Ideas on better phrasing?

No!

As a gum-chewer who doesn’t mind other gum-chewers, please just let us know it bugs you! I now ask people if my gum is cool because I’ve turned off dudes I’m dating with the gum-chewing but some of us have never been told. (Again, doesn’t bug everyone, has never bugged me but some people are sensitive to noises or…

If I were famous giving interviews on the red carpet I would have constant gum to avoid dry mouth.

Aww, but Charlotte and Harry!!

Women like Gillian Anderson give me hope I’ll age hotly.
