Want vs. Actual

I wanted to find this old post about teenage mutant ninja turtles (of all things) for some reason...it was weird because I remember it appearing on my phone months ago and not knowing how I got to it...it may been something I tapped before drifting off to sleep....it could have mentioned splinter and zen... believe it also had to do with mentoring and trust and role models and daughters...and I had an idea that it would be so nice to read again....but, OH WELL. Couldn't find it. So... INSTEAD... ACTUAL exasperation from these other things I did find.

"Out of 200 sales job queries, the woman wearing a low-cut top attracted 62 more interview offers than their more conservatively dressed counterpart. And just in case you’re thinking, Well, maybe that kiiiiiiinda makes sense for sales jobs, since a lower cut top might come across as more youthful and fun and stylish, guess what? The same thing happened with accounting jobs, which you would think would be more conservative: there were 68 more interview offers for the woman in the low-cut top."

"If a recent Yahoo News article is any indication, a great many men have yet to discover that sexism is wrong, but have determined that it is simply unfashionable, and must therefore be exercised judiciously.
