The 9 year old was raped by a 21 year old and the 15 year old was raped by a 22 year old. Haven't looked into the rest.
My head is all for strict interpretation of the constitution; my heart is pissed because a violent crime is a violent crime. #gardasil

But most young women without children, including myself until recently, think about things like "harassment" and "wage gaps" when sexual discrimination comes up, without really understanding how much issues of motherhood not only contribute to harassment and wage gaps, but are totally valid issues by themselves. Because I think I used to feel like women who chose to have babies were choosing their choice and they'd have to deal with the consequences of their choice, and so "mother's issues" were not "women's issues," because not all women have kids. But that's simplistic, naive, and kind of spectacularly dumb. But issues of motherhood and career are usually shunted into their own world of discussion and discrimination, instead of being dealt with as one more aspect of run of the mill misogyny. And I really liked that she explicitly brought them together.

On the other hand, I hate that she feels the need to do this. Because it does send this other message that somehow women have to justify how their career choices affect their family (or lack thereof). We don't see male Nobel Prize winners pictured with their kids because we don't judge men's accomplishments based on how they affected their families. We judge them and their accomplishments based on their work alone. I wish it could be this way for women too.

I think my use of scare quotes has become erratic as the day goes on, and for much of this comment I've been talking about men and women as concepts of genders, not actual people.

I agree, and I think that ties in to what I said about how even people without kids should be able to have better life balance than the current average workplace allows. I do understand that this is what she was going for and I like that. I agree with her that I would like to see more men bring their families up on stage when their big accomplishments are being rewarded and to see more men talking about how they balance family and personal lives.

Fancy production crew walks into lab: Hold up a beaker... It doesn't matter if you haven't toucher a beaker in 10 years.... let's mix up some random colored water and put it in various beakers that you can hold up.... cells growing with no context to the shot.. do it.

The green liquid? 1X PBS with calibration dye in it. Total nonsense. But damn, did it look good in the context of the piece they did.
