60% of male managers now say they’re uncomfortable mentoring women.

The #MeToo and Time’s Up movements have brought huge attention to the challenges women face at work, but a new survey finds that 60% of male managers say they’re uncomfortable mentoring, working one-on-one or socializing with a woman.

According to the survey, released by LeanIn.org and SurveyMonkey, that’s a 33% increase from last year.

Senior-level men also say they are 12 times more likely to be hesitant about one-on-one meetings with a junior woman than they are a junior man, nine times more likely to be hesitant to travel with a junior woman for work than a junior man, and six times more likely to be hesitant to have a work dinner with a junior woman than a junior man.

It's okay everybody, the 10 year old kid gave me permission.

I thought that was kinda funny, at least by politician standards. If Biden can keep up the silly off-the-cuff remarks and fight Trump on his strongest point, he's got 2020 made.

I just realized that smilie isn't a guy preparing to sip a cup of coffee btw. If the white is a beard, what the fuck is up with his poop-looking mouth?

 

[CiG]

I don't know that in the #MeToo era, implying that a kid can give consent is going to go over so well with the Democrats, especially him being a pretty creepy Old White Male™.

I was going to be sympathetic since a disabling spinal cord injury as a shitty thing to live with, and I don't really care how much food a person eats as long as I don't have to sit next to them on an airplane, but

But while monomaniacal exercise and diet work for some people, they don’t for most: A staggering 95 percent to 98 percent of attempts to lose weight by the general public fail for reasons that “are biological and irreversible,” wrote Michael Hobbes in HuffPost last year. Relying on these two solutions as “the primary treatment for those in larger bodies, particularly those who also have disabilities, ignores the lived experience of the individual and is not evidence-based medicine,” said Louise D. Metz, a physician connected to the Association for Size Diversity and Health.

lmao, that paragraph actually triggered me slightly. Not sure whether "monomaniacal exercise and diet", "evidence-based medicine", or "Association for Size Diversity and Health" was the most offensive bit.

 

[CiG]

"those in larger bodies" is also a gem.

It's 1641 all over again.

"evidence-based medicine" lmao
