....says the person who actually called me a snowflake?

You can look at alllllll the stuff I post here, but not a single instance of that word being used. But no no, definitely make assumptions. Those don’t at all make you sound foolish.

Ooohh. Snowflake! Sick burn! So edgy and fresh!

What business is it of yours what the fuck I do?

Two different people needed to see it and Kinja is nothing if not useless for showing people the whole conversation unless they actively dig through it and don’t go off notifications (like I do). So... fuck that original map, people need to see this even if I post it a hundred times! :D

Career paths - women still aren’t as encouraged to work in higher paying jobs.

Well, when I posted critique here it got me unfollowed. So, there you go.

Does this mean gerrymandered districts are insurmountable?

That’s without even taking into account issues like gerrymandering.

Why not? Are they scared of a negative response? Do they fear critique? I should hope not. Are they afraid of dissenting opinions? Maybe. At the least, they sure like to keep anyone not in-line with them in the greys. Not sure what complaining about stuff has to do with it. And 2/3? That is an overestimate. At least…

Yea, it is pretty tragic how they actively try to discourage anything that doesn’t follow their narrative lockstep. Pitiful. Kinja is truly the worst platform for actual discourse.

It isn’t about me. It is the principle of it. Apparently you either follow lockstep or you go to the greys. It is sad that no level of discourse beyond their narrative is tolerated.

And I guess calling out Katherine for the wage gap bullshit got me unfollowed by Fusion. Good to see honest, real discussion is discouraged when it doesn’t fall lockstep in with their blog’s agenda. Huh.

That isn’t what it is saying. And no, not patriarchal anything. The career paths, hours worked (part vs full), education obtained, pay negotiated, time served in positions, field entered, etc etc. all factor into pay.

And so I can at least be productive while I am at it, I think the solution would be to protect…

The gender pay gap is real. It affects women at every level of every industry, and it’s far more pronounced for women of color. So we absolutely don’t need to rely on faulty statistics to bolster the case for paying women what they deserve.

All the replies to this were just the most Jez comments imaginable.

If it is anything like most of the country, the GOP has gerrymandered their way to success above actually earning it.

Shocking, truly, that anything could sink lower than Congressional approval ratings.

Yea, clearly that is what I am saying. OBVIOUSLY. Good job.
