I think I want to be you.

Sorry, but when you use the phrase "real women" as a way to refer to "average women", you're just as guilty as the people who hold up models as an ideal of beauty. If you need to denigrate a group of women as "not real" versus another group, then you're missing the point.

no one is playing stupid. People do recognize the phrase for what it is. Body shaming anyone is not ok. Hence the "we're all real."

i had the pleasure of working a 5 month graphic design contract at apple. i was worried about the dress code, so for the first few days i "dressed up" (wore tights with skirts, sweaters, button-downs, etc). i finally asked my boss about the dress code, and she used the example of the guy in his 40's with electric blue…

I've found a new tech role model! :)

Videographer/writer here, I get that lot too. I'm always annoyed and make it a point to give them the look that questions whether or not it's a blatant insult or just a casual faux pas.

Oh, the men can throw the shade like a queen. Perhaps they were expecting a fashionable Asian sidekick of a woman? Perhaps an attractive woman tech recruiter? A "social media" helpmate? The events coordinator? A tech project manager who is really just a fancy secretary until she marries? These are the women they…

Sounds like GDC (well, and all other big tech or game industry cons)

This is my friend's dog! She is gonna flip when she sees he's famous!!!!

Yeah, it's irresponsible of her parents to want her to grow up in a stable country. So selfish.

I used to be one of those women (advanced degree, getting paid a LOT less for doing the same job while dressed to the nines). Now, I have a "man's job". You know. The kind where you can actually buy a house, pay all your bills, go on vacation, and plan for a future, all without a partner, if you choose.

What is it? Because I think we all want to work for you!

Interesting post and absolutely true. Years ago, a friend of mine kept track of just how much she spent on stockings (she still had to wear them to work in the late 90s) and it was hundreds of dollars a year. Add on makeup, haircuts, dry cleaning, and clothes, clothes, clothes and women often spend thousands more than…

If I had money I'd invest some in your company because lol

I like that you told potential investors to fuck right off.

I love that you are able to say no to those guys! You and your business partner sound awesome!

Wtf? Men are rude to you?

Yep. And as founders you can do that, most of the other women know well that they would be putting their jobs at risk to not dress in an accepted manner.

These shots are gorgeous, but I'm a little surprised that Estee Lauder chose a teenage model—I've always thought of them as an "old lady" brand. Maybe they're trying to change their image.

I've been sitting on this for a long time, but I think I'll strike while the iron's hot. I have video of Johnny Manziel reciting book 22 of the Odyssey (in Greek), while recreating a near-perfect copy of Caravaggio's Head of Medusa. At the 1:23 mark, he puts down his brushes, takes up a chisel, and etches "Rodin was a…
