I wish we had a scale of sexism so we could figure out what's ok and what isn't. That would come in handy.
Are men ever told to smile more? Any man in here? By a woman.
God damn it, Al Franken.
All the time. Patient satisfaction scores are a big deal in medicine right now, and we have provider coaches going around all the time telling us to greet people warmly, smile more, thank them for their time, etc.
Context does matter, after all.
God damn it, Al Franken.

hoooo, boy.My thoughts exactly .
I don't recall people really telling me I needed to smile more. I'm sure there were some who did at some point, but I don't remember that ever really being a thing for me the way it has for other people. The big thing people tend to say about me is, "You're always so quiet. Speak up more!
If they could only see you here! Such good posting.

So many things about this, where to begin. "When I was younger and prettier", for starters.
I was spitting mad when I saw tweeter in chief tweet snark at Franken yesterday.
Pussy grabber says what?
At this point, I have no reason to doubt any of these accusers - not that I'm anybody. And a lot of these accused men are acknowledging their assholery.
But - and to keep this close to the board - what if someone accused a Bono, for instance? For whatever reason. There are pictures of Bono cavorting with young women in bathing suits. Plenty of people dislike Bono - it would be knives out.
I'm not sure we're equipped as a culture to deal with this correctly.

. I’m thrilled that victims are empowered to come forward, but I’m not sure anyone has led a mistake free life and the culture is different than it was 30 years ago. (But then, I don’t take pictures like the Frankin picture, so ... dunno, pondering a lot of this stuff right now).
Several women attacked Moore’s accusers, saying the stories of abuse they’ve heard from multiple news outlets smell fishy. Martha Shiber, 79, wondered why one of the young women didn’t tell her parents she’d been attacked.
“She didn’t say anything to her mother about it ― why didn’t she tell her mom? Why didn’t the mother say anything about it?” Shiber said to HuffPost. “Roy has a beautiful wife! Why would he want to fool with some ugly-looking woman? She needs a sign over her head asking to pay for somebody to be with her.”
Even if the allegations turned out to be true, some voters wouldn’t be swayed. Montgomery native Tim Hensley, 58, was seen arguing with a protester just outside the event. The protester held a sign that read “Roy Moore is a pedophile.” Hensley told HuffPost that he’d forgive Moore for sexual assault.
“Nothing’s really gonna change my mind,” he said. “This was 40 years ago. I probably did some things I wasn’t proud of then. I’d forgive him unless we found out about something, say, five years ago.”
