If improving conditions in the workplace for women had been a central agenda for feminist movement in conjunction with efforts to obtain better-paying jobs for women and finding jobs for unemployed women of all classes, feminism would have been seen as a movement addressing the concerns of all women. Feminist focus on careerism, getting women... - http://champagnecandy.tumblr.com/post...

It’s true. Check the mastheads. You can only imagine what the staffs of Dissent and Reason get up to on the Nation cruise every year.
Feminism: accusing a woman reporter of only getting published because of who she fucks, then threatening to “investigate her.”

I turned to this song (and video) to cheer me up after a particularly depressing workday. I love everything about this. And them. - http://champagnecandy.tumblr.com/post...
Broadly, what unites us as a class is opposition to compulsory virtue, to whore stigma. I think it’s fallen out of vogue now that “slut shaming” has been taken on as a term. But the theoretical precursor to that was “whore stigma,” which was proposed in the early nineties by Gail Pheterson. I don’t think she was a sex worker, but she’s an academic... - http://champagnecandy.tumblr.com/post...
Raising the minimum wage benefits more than just low-wage workers. When people make more money, they spend more money and businesses benefit. The Economic Policy Institute estimated that raising the minimum wage to $9.80 would actually create jobs because more people could spend more money. Low-wage workers are more likely than any other income... - http://champagnecandy.tumblr.com/post...
Saying a federal push has made his own efforts to raise the minimum wage in New York more “complex,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo suggested Sunday he might drop language increasing the minimum wage to $8.75 from his budget proposal to allow for further negotiation. - http://champagnecandy.tumblr.com/post...

Today the main barriers to further progress toward gender equity no longer lie in people’s personal attitudes and relationships. Instead, structural impediments prevent people from acting on their egalitarian values, forcing men and women into personal accommodations and rationalizations that do not reflect their preferences. The gender revolution... - http://champagnecandy.tumblr.com/post...
But many lower-profile migrants have virtually no voice on the Hill. Undocumented women laboring as domestic workers in private homes, or day laborers and dishwashers paid under the table, are no less in need of relief. But under the proposals in play, they can only hope for a more limited legalization process, which might impose deep financial... - http://champagnecandy.tumblr.com/post...
As the figure shows, if the minimum wage had kept pace with average wages—i.e., if minimum wage workers saw their paychecks expand at the same rate as the average worker—it would be about $10.50 today. If the minimum wage had kept pace with productivity[i]—i.e., the economy’s overall capacity to generate income— it would be almost $18.75 today.... - http://champagnecandy.tumblr.com/post...
Of all the art forms, poetry is the most economical. It is the one which is the most secret, which requires the least physical labor, the least material, and the one which can be done between shifts, in the hospital pantry, on the subway, and on scraps of surplus paper….As we reclaim our literature, poetry has been the major voice of poor, working... - http://champagnecandy.tumblr.com/post...
I envy them their public love. I myself have only known it in secret, shared it in secret and longed, aw longed to show it - to be able to say out loud what they have no need to say at all: ‘That I have loved only you, surrendered my whole self reckless to you and nobody else. That I want you to love me back and show it to me. That I love the way... - http://champagnecandy.tumblr.com/post...
