Alternet: In the Office, Nice Girls Finish Last
So do mean girls. Studies show that women's contributions at work are less likely to be recognized than men's, and it's not for lack of ambition.

Some of the comments to the article will stun you. I set out to report to admins the article was getting trolled, and, just for the heck of it, did a search on one of them. On other issues, pretty much everything he wrote was in line with the libertarian left.

When I see something like this and it looks like a popular sentiment instead of a rare asshole or two, I feel like there is an actual, honest-to-god movement that wants to shove women out of politics and social policy and that it's coming from the left, of all places. I don't get it. Not at all.
