Allison Schieffelin is my hero
Today she and the EEOC leveled a $54 million bitchslap against her former employers for being insensitive, sexist pigs.
Today at lunch, the men in my office walked down the stairs and out the door, heading downtown for a "business lunch" so they could make company changing decisions in the privacy of their boy's only club. One of them actually said "No estrogen allowed," as he was shutting the door. I would take it as the joke they intended if these men didn't have meetings like this almost every day, locked away in a room upstairs, rarely including a single woman. I would chuckle along with everyone else if I didn't see that every high-paying, executive position was held by a man.
Today, Allison Schieffelin in my hero.
