I miss the days when #Romance genre's high/low position in publishing & literary canon was the most hotly debated topic in my twitterverse.

America's stringent adherence to a two-sex paradigm is inconsistent with science #ScienceMarch https://t.co/Wj4DROIvh2

.@redwyne So hard to answer.
I don't think there should be a rule against leggings for anybody.
I don't think the company should bully

[Pamela Blogslacker @badass_romance]

This frantic corporate distinction just means @united 's sexist dress code affects fewer ppl. Applying it by shaming children reprehensible.

[Pamela Blogslacker @badass_romance]

This piece did zero to change my mind re. @united position. It doesn't matter "pass travel" vs. paying customer. @shannonrwatts 1/2 https://t.co/ceklnaq2X2

[The New York Times @nytimes]

United Airlines barred 2 women from boarding a flight after a gate agent decided they were dressed inappropriately https://t.co/7fF6eWlM20

[Amee Vanderpool @girlsreallyrule]

Rules for dress that disproportionately affect girls and women are outdated and need to be changed immediately, @United.

[Pamela Blogslacker @badass_romance]

I have to agree. Special rules for "company benefit" travel don't make this any less sexist, problematic. Girls were policed, men were not. https://t.co/cSGBACsgLp

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

.@JeremyStahl Thanks for mansplaining Jeremy. I tweeted United about it and their nonsensical responses made it national news.

[Pamela Blogslacker @badass_romance]

@washingtonpost is following @united #leggings debacle where a corporation sexualizes & body shames girls @luzcita https://t.co/MOsHZNKJGW

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

2) This behavior is sexist and sexualizes young girls. Not to mention that the families were mortified and inconveninced.

[Rebecca @rebeccahurd_]

@united Are you really trying to sexualize a 10 year old girl for wearing leggings ???? https://t.co/iMlWR2SKZG

[Pamela Blogslacker @badass_romance]

@texasinafrica @united Is this for real?? If I buy a ticket I have made a contract not to wear leggings?? Talk abt an alternative fact!!

[Yoni Appelbaum @YAppelbaum]

39% *of schools* reported a decline, 35% an increase, and 26% no change. Why hasn’t this tweet been deleted? https://t.co/Wyvyz3sLHf

[Pamela Blogslacker @badass_romance]

This will still destablize universities and tuition economics, which is surely part of the agenda. But the much-RTd first tweet was wrong. https://t.co/gOduD2L2EK

Clarification: Applications from international students are down at 40 percent of schools surveyed https://t.co/Ym9aKJ6cm0

@miss_batesreads @emilyjanehubb Thank you! I remember much delight about this book, and can see why. In spades!

[Pamela Blogslacker @badass_romance]

I need to go read now. #readingromance is one of my happy places and it's nice to be back.

[Pamela Blogslacker @badass_romance]

Just suddenly realized have been craving that killer combination of fluid writing, tart dialogue & authentic journey to HEA. #amreading

[Pamela Blogslacker @badass_romance]

After many moons reading outside romance genre, started A Woman Entangled by @Cecilia_Grant today. So so good, from word one. #discomfiture
