In the article she also talks about how her co-workers are having the same problems, though. Working additional jobs, barely able to eat a decent meal. Companies that can well afford to pay people enough to live on choose not to. I think a person should be able to work 40 hours a week and be able to have food, shelter and build up some savings.

Why aren't you condemning the asshole who can't control themselves? That's who the problem is in your scenario. Your analogy likening a woman in a short skirt to a piece of meat says a lot about you.

I wonder that myself. It could be f or the same job with four different managers, which doesn't say much for the team. Or maybe she's an asshole in person and that eclipses her skills and talent.

I've been told after an interview that, "We have a strong internal candidate," which says the hiring manager thought so little of my time, he interviewed me with no intention of hiring me. I think it's a good idea to see what's out there, but I'd interview selectively, always.

And don't talk about sex, politics, or religion. Also--HR is not your friend

Drugs. Hormones. I was on depo-provera in my twenties and I gained weight without changing my eating or exercise habits. Relative of mine took Seroquel for sleep, same damn thing. Simple eating less doesn't work in cases like this.

damn lies, and statistics.

Only because of the vomiting after eating it. *shudder* some things were not meant to be mixed.

With that comment, I'd think you'd want to encourage women into STEM fields so they make more money. Maybe they would need less from social services if they had more earning power. Besides being motivated by competition vs cooperation, men and women learn differently, and I can't help but wonder if a different approach might encourage them more, especially if it was done earlier. The forcing of girls into traditional American gender roles starts with the first time someone puts her in a pink outfit. Then come the dolls and the kitchen sets and the praise for being pretty vs being say, smart or athletic. Being told to be demure and "ladylike" (I so hate that word). It happens with boys too. Blue outfits, praise for being tough, conflating manhood with physical prowess. By the time kids hit ten, a whole lot of them have been socialized to fit into narrow roles and it's too late to get them interested in topics outside traditional roles. I'm not saying every parent does this. If you look at what toys are for sale and what kids choose for college majors, you can get a good idea.

Maximize the minimum happiness? Um, no. Parents have an obligation to raise kids to be functional members of society, ideally with values that include complying with applicable laws. Happiness is important, but I think it's more practical to teach a kid how to figure out what makes him or her happy.

I would like to buy you a totally platonic drink. That was massively well-said.

I'm guessing you haven't met a competent project manager.

Design =/= project management. Not by a long shot.

I have to admit, I never looked into the labor practices when I started getting groceries delivered. I can tell you the Fresh Direct employees I've dealt with have all been friendly happy people and those from PeaPod in my zip code (they're based out of your local Stop & Shop) are general shits. Unfortunately screwing temp labor or contractors is not news. I know someone who worked a contract job with no benefits for 7 years because it was the highest paying gig in the county.

Since it became a hashtag after Eliot Rodger was found to have spent time on MRA and PUA sites. Because a whole lot of women are sick of being told, "Not all men harass," (and variations thereof) when they could be saying things like, "That shouldn't happen to you. I don't condone it and if I see it, I'll stop it."
