The link to the makeup case is funny. Mom spent her career as a flight attendant sneaking by supervisors so they wouldn't catch her without enough makeup on -- they had a full-scale mandated face you were supposed to wear, foundation, eyes, blush, lips, and Mom tended to slide by with just lipstick.
Heh. So much of that piece makes me smile. Rory now has a full-blown makeup case. If i wear chapstick, it's getting fancy...
After reading 1, I went through to the link, expecting to see a makeup case.
I've been hit on with "you look like you just put chapstick on and walk out the door" as code for "you're totally gay, right?" It worked.
Working for men is pretty much a losing proposition, right? Unless you get pretty lucky?

Right, because if you get lucky with a man you're working for, you can sue for sexual harrassment and then retire.
Nope. I've had three great male bosses in a row. All of them dedicated to my advancement (more dedicated than I am), all of them supportive of work-life balance. Two women on my floor were hired when they were seven months pregnant.

This sounds... a bit fishy.
Work in maintenance, not law (science plots #2 and #3).

The link in the original post contains this link from the NYT, which might as well be reported from Mars. Who are these people?
NY Times' subjects are from Mars, Earthlings are from Venus.
Yeah, seriously, who are these people? Doesn't everyone know that Miranda's Steve is a barman not a waiter, who doesn't give up working to become a SAHD but does often take care of Brady due to his shift patterns, and eventually opens his own bar. Jeez, fact-checkers.
OT For someone used to getting there info on things Ivory Coast related from the French press, it is very, very strange to read about Inhofe, Robertson and other leading lights of the American hard right singing Gbagbo's praises. We're talking a Marxist whose best friends in France tend to be on the left wing of the French Socialist Party. True, for obvious reasons his anti-imperialist rhetoric tended to be much more directed at France than the US, but still. What's next, an embrace of Ortega? (Like Gbagbo, a socially ultra-conservative and ostentatiously devout Christian these days). And related, with all the black and white coverage on the Ivory Coast, it's worth remembering that out of power Gbagbo was a pro-democracy activist who Ouattara threw in jail when he was running the place. Meet the new boss, just like the old boss.
