Anyone remember which day the commenters were talking about this? I’d like to send to my sister.
Thanks.

Bow ties? God, these are aren’t quite as bad as the 1980s ties, but they’re close.
I can’t recall if I discussed the NYT Op-Ed here, but I included a link to it on Jezebel.com. It was an excellent article that raised a lot of issues that women, especially young women, don’t want to hear, namely, that to be a professional, especially a doctor, is not just to add a fancy line on a resume and that you can’t have it all.
Furthermore, if women aren’t using their degrees, people who don’t like women are going to find a way to hinder their getting degrees and good professional opportunities. It will be 1930 all over again.
