Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Fingers crossed, Jilli. You need a break and Giant Tech Company needs a housegoth!
I have been informed that the hiring manager knows who I am, remembers me from around Microsoft, AND has a copy of my book in his office. Please oh please oh please.
IO (shallow, but good)N, Pete went to the local cupcake place and brought me back two (TWO!) GF cupcakes, chocolate and chocolate salted caramel. I had half of each, and they are DELICIOUS.
All kinds of job~ma, Jilli!

Well, it's more like he fails to see "the pervs" as existing in a continuum with a whole bunch of other toxic elements of western culture, like the madonna-whore dichotomy, and the sexualization of women in the media, and the push-back against feminism. That stuff's all inter-related, and in fact includes things that are toxic to men, like the way sitcoms and commercials (and Judd Apatow) portray men as emotionally immature and irresponsible, and women as obsessive goal-oriented harpies.
... argh. But hey, the work day is over and I can go home and do dishes like a responsible member of society! (And then make oatmeal-whiskey bread.)
Happy Birthday Anne!
And he seems to think that if we can just isolate and shame "the pervs", that everything will be all better. As if there's a bright and definable line separating the pervs from the rest of this culture.
I bet he also thinks rape is only a stranger jumping out of a bush in a dark alley (I know, shut up, it's a weird alley) in the wrong part of town.
Typo,
