Thanks for the update on her career trajectory in the law. I wasn't sure where she was at, but knew she'd failed the bar at least twice. I was going to point this out, but unlike Wurtzel, I decided not to comment on another woman's life without proper information.
Agreed. I don't understand how anyone can't see that the opinion of "everyone does what I think, or you're wrong!" is ridiculous. Maybe if she had to make the choices that most women working a full time job and running a family had to make, her opinion would change. Then again, her lack of self-awareness is staggering, so...
Thank you. I think the Ann-Marie Slaughter cover article in the new issue of The Atlantic addresses a lot of these issues facing working women/mothers, and also calls out the feminists who disparage women who have to make the choices to dial things back a little bit to ensure they are taking care of both their personal and professional lives.
I feel like there is a layer of judgmental/near "mean girl" behavior that goes on in the feminist community, with regard to the position that if you don't put career above all, you have let down several generations of women (those before you, in your generation, and in the next generation). It's unfair, and not particularly "feminist" as far as I am concerned.
-Treats their significant others like shit.
-Treats service staff poorly, and/or doesn't tip.
-Is cheap.
-Is unkind to others for sport.
-Is a male who was a womens studies major in college.
-Hasn't had a carb "in years."
I have Comcast and it's now available On Demand if anyone is interested in seeing it in the comfort of their own, or a friend's, home.
Looking at the map, it's a bit farther west than I thought it was (more St. Ben's than Lakeview?). It's still not a neighborhood I am drawn to, but if I had a ton of kids, maybe I would be.
It's good to know that moving to Chicago and landing in Lakeview or Wrigleyville before you know any better isn't just limited to 22 year olds moving here. At least they can blame the Apartment People, though. What's your excuse, Rosie?
Also, that place looks pretty meh.
Indeed. Brad, Billy Bob, her brother.....maybe she's just into b words?
All three of these people leave me confused as to why I am supposed to care about them, or how they continue to have "acting" careers. I can't stand how Pitt in particular, though, is cast as this "every man," down to earth, Midwestern type guy. The dude seems like a completely vapid dick, but kudos to him for dipping his quill in the ink sullied by Billy Bob Thornton of all people. Delish!
I just booked plane tickets to fly into Portland and out of Seattle a week later. The rest is pretty much open ended, but I can't believe I can have an entire week off work. My original plan was to go drink beers in Belgium and Amsterdam, but it fell through. Boo.
