They are SO adorable. What was the book?

Oh, man, I’ve been there. I’ve definitely gotten into it with my uncles about whether women still experience professional discrimination. I can tell them that I, a woman in 2014 working in a female-dominated industry, have experienced gendered discrimination, with numerous examples, and they still don’t think it’s a pervasive problem. It’s really frustrating.

Yes! She does a lot of really excellent features at the Toast.

Me toooo but I will probably wait for Christmas.

When I encounter something like this, I often give up on it early because I don’t want to spend time with a book that excludes me as a possible audience. And other times, I’m able to enjoy the book anyway. It’s unpredictable. Here’s the wonderful Alyssa Rosenberg on problematic art you love: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/act-four/wp/2014/08/13/a-brief-guide-to-defending-your-favorite-politically-offensive-pop-culture/

Ahaha, that would be the most adorable freak out ever.

I really liked the film! Nobody else seemed to, but I thought it was delightful.

I saw that article — the Code Switch blog IS great. It’s one of the first things I read in the morning with my coffee. I hadn’t heard of Who We Be, but it sounds excellent.

Yuck, I’m sorry. That sounds tremendously frustrating. I’ve been in similar professional situations myself, and it just sucks.

SAME HERE but also I don’t remember it that well. Maybe Netflix will change it!
