So Sit up straight and pull in your abs. Holding your chin up and nodding your head occasionally also projects confidence. It makes people think you’re engaged.*
Yet, in just the past year, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that a woman can be fired if her boss finds her attractive, a New York court decided that unpaid interns can't sue for sexual harassment, and the Paycheck Fairness Act was defeated by Republicans who claimed women actually prefer lower-paying jobs.**
I couldn't believe that: a woman can be fired if her boss finds her attractive; a New York court decided that unpaid interns can't sue for sexual harassment; or the Paycheck Fairness Act was defeated by Republicans who claimed women actually prefer lower-paying jobs as stated above so I Googled them, Apparently everyone knows about these cases but me and they certainly are true. It is because an attractive woman can be a threat to a marriage because he is afraid he will have an affair with her; unpaid interns are not considered employees; women are lower paid so they are less likely to be laid off!***
