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.
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.
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.
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."
My biggest challenge as a hiring manager is I want a cover letter that indicates the applicant read and understood the job description. There are days when I look at resumes and then look at the job description and think, "Why the hell is this person applying for this job?"
Moving is expensive both in terms of money and time, so the vast majority of people literally can't afford to do anything other than try to change the offending policy. Saying, "if you don't like it, move" is just naive.
Thank you. This argument drives me batshit crazy. It assumes resources that in all likelihood do not exist. There's also that little problem of finding a job in the new location. It's not easy to find a job out of state, most of the time when you apply they tell you to, "Call when you're in town and available." Moving a family is hard. Moving yourself without the family pretty much doubles your expenses. Then there's finding a new job without an address and getting a new place to live without a job.
Yeah, you can always move.
How the hell do you expect someone to find a job these days without an internet connection? Even retail jobs and temp agencies have online applications. You make a phone call, you show up at the office, you get sent to the bloody web site.
I'd call careers the closest equivalent to class, but yeah, not being able to improve the character turned me off the game when I was still in high school in 198(mumble)
I can get behind that. I know when I played 3/3.5 I never really got the skills done correctly. I liked the streamlining 4e did there, but after getting to know the game, I can definitely see from for a bit more detail.
I only looked at the first play test for 5e and I was not impressed. Range/touch attacks and spell level slots always annoyed me (not to mention shitty hit dice) to the point where I haven't played a Mage since 2e.
I am wary, but one of my group bought the 5e PHB at GenCon so I'll get a gander this weekend.
I'll drink to that. Another DM here. I shot for a balance between role-playing and combat because I have a whole range of preferences in my group. One would be happiest with almost no combat, a couple of the others are all about the crunch.
My big complaint about combat in 4e in how long an individual turn can take, and this especially applies to the players who min-max. Just because you CAN use a move, a minor, a free, and a move action each turn doesn't mean you SHOULD or even that it's desirable.
Weight gain is also a side effect of a shitload of medications. It's not as cut and dried as a lot of people would have you believe. There are social factors and cultural factors and it did not help that the anti-fat era caused the food industry to overload products with sugar and salt.
My telecommuting coincided with moving in with my boyfriend. He's been great, and I made sure I set his expectations to understand that I was NOT going to be doing housework in between conference calls. We managed it even when he was out of work for a few months.

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

damn lies, and statistics.
Only because of the vomiting after eating it. *shudder* some things were not meant to be mixed.

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.

Marriage is first and foremost a formal economic contract. It's only been recently in human history that the majority of people married for love.
I can appreciate artistry whatever the source, but if I don't like someone's causes, I do not spend money on their products.
I do this as well, and I don't go near the office during off-hours unless I send something to the printer.
