Digital Sparks // The women’s issues edition

A newsletter delivered by TinyLetter.

1. Looking Like That, She Was Asking For It. Right?
“I am writing this because, as Billy Crystal said in Mr. Saturday Night, ‘It’s a comic’s job, when he sees bullshit, he calls bullshit’.”

2. How My Employer Put the “FML” in FMLA
Right then and there, on my kitchen floor, I understood with absolute clarity why women quit their jobs after having kids. I will never, ever question it again.

3. Black girls’ sexual burden: Why Mo’ne Davis was really called a “slut”
“[J]ust think about what you’re doing before you actually do it.”

4. Joni Mitchell is not a “60s folksinger”
