In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, โmy priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.โ
The lawyer I hired told me I didnโt have a case because discrimination like โthatโ was almost impossible to prove.
So I got pissed.
Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.
Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.
That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? Sheโs a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.
Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.
@Ashraf210669@glenn_tunes I hate how he speaks over anyone. If I were her I would've made my voice louder "OH SIR, HOW'D YOU COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT HE WAS REFERRING TO YOU?".
He is absolutely a victim, and she should have been blacklisted from Hollywood as soon as she began preying on him. They met when she was directing a movie he was in. She said she was โimpressed by his professionalismโ during his audition, considering his age. AKA she pulled the bullshit โyouโre so mature for your ageโ card and began dating him once the movie was finished. From the start, there has been a clear power imbalance.
At 18, he became a stepfather to her two kids, with one of them only being 6 years younger than him when he started dating their mother. He was 20 when they had their first child, and she was 43. She is all he knows. He was 18 and was starting out in acting, while she was an established director. If the genders were reversed, there would be much more backlash and media coverage of their relationship. She preyed on a barely legal teen.
People make jokes online, but she 100% groomed him, and he is a victim who probably doesn't even realize it. It's even more tragic when children are brought into the mix. If he left her now, it would affect their four children, who aren't aware of what their mom did and why it was wrong. He's been with her for the majority of his life now. At this point, I don't think he'll ever choose to leave, but I hope he at least knows that what happened to him was not normal or okay. I also hope he will protect his children so that they are not taken advantage of like he was.
@Dwavid@emkenobi She canโt even drink yet. After 25, age gaps donโt matter.. but 20? Two years ago she was in high school, she canโt drink, and her brain isnโt even fully developed. Yeah, thereโs an issue.
@Metripod67G@shaman2263@broadwaybabyto No, the OP means to say that the opposite of the woke left wing party are right wing pedophiles. Hope I helped you understand better.
Right/MAGA = Pedo
Left/Democrats = Woke
I saw my husband differently after something that happened at the grocery store.
We were in line when the cashier, trying to be funny, said,โจโWow, youโve got your hands full. Bet she spends all your money too, huh?โ
A couple people chuckled.
I felt that familiar, small smile forming the one women use when theyโre about to brush off something uncomfortable.
Before I could say anything, my husband looked at him and said,โจโShe built half of what we have. Iโm lucky she lets me spend hers.โ
It wasnโt loud.โจIt wasnโt aggressive.โจIt was calm. Certain.
The cashier went quiet.
He didnโt turn it into banter.โจHe didnโt let it slide to keep things easy.โจHe corrected it without making me the punchline.
And in that moment, I felt something settle in my chest.
It wasnโt about money. It was about respect.
He didnโt need a dramatic scene.โจHe just made it clear Iโm not the joke in any room heโs in.
And I realized,โจitโs one thing to be loved in private.
Itโs another thing to be honored in public.
Thatโs when I knew I was safe.
So cool to see all the versions together and I have never actually had the chance to see a version 1 in action. The whole taking off the top to chance the battery was something!
