More on Leaning In, a Little Nutpicking…But, Wait, There’s More–Ben Shapiro!
By I wanted to share some quotes and links I found while I was out and about today. And by out and about I mean while sitting on my ass, indoors, typing on my computer, looking for erotic art featuring anthropomorphized animals interesting stuff in my twitter feed.
- This first is just a snippet of a really impactful piece by a Latina woman who tried to “lean in” at work. It didn’t work out very well for her.
But leaning in has its limitations for women in the workplace, and especially for Latinas.

More than once, a lost patient or hospital staff wandering down the hall came to my office door to ask for direction. “Are you the secretary?” they would ask.
- You know how Obama is a secret Muslin bent on bringing Shania Law to Oklahoma? Well, now he’s admitting it.
- And, finally, fun-size culture warrior Ben Shapiro– who I suspect is all jacked-up on Mountain Dew–weighs in on Jason Collins:
