So, I did a piece for the New York Post about the sexiness of doormen. As one friend mentioned, the appeal has a lot to do with the fact that “They’re handsome, protective figures — who you also are in charge of.” More
I recently spoke at Yale University, where it was icy and Gothic, everyone was very nice and very smart, and I was reminded of what it was like to be 21 and not know how to order a cocktail yet. I was also reminded of what it was like to be able to say, “I study literature” (or philosophy, or economics) and have that mean basically full-time: I LIVE THE LIFE OF THE MIND. Oh, college!
Specifically, I was the guest at a Master’s Tea, wherein the master of one of Yale’s residential colleges chats with a guest about some interesting topic. We drank Earl Grey. It was very civilized. Although the posters for my talk said nothing gender-specific, almost everyone who showed up was female. I just have that vibe, I guess. More
As you get older, you start to figure things out. I’ve spent months looking at and contemplating this copy of The Atlantic that is somehow always on my desk, and I’ve come to some conclusions. Here are some thoughts on ways you, personally, can “have it all.” More
Women do indeed get the worst shit to deal with. In the days before contraception, having a uterus was pretty much a full-time job. A job filled with blood, pain, hormones, and a high probability of death. Had I been born 150 years ago, I would Albert Nobbs myself in a second. I would trade it all for a sundry shop and a stovepipe hat. More
I recently went out with somebody who, upon my discussion of writing about Kate Middleton‘s pregnancy, asked, “Who is Kate Middleton?”
My head snapped towards him and gave him a look. “Who? Who is Kate Middleton? Meaning you have no idea?”
How is that possible?, I wondered, until I realized that it was kind of crazy how pervasive Middleton feels in my and anybody else’s mind who follows the media whatsoever. But does that mean she’s powerful? More
I just had drinks with a friend who is a career coach in her sixties. She hasn’t read any Bullish columns, and when I told her that I often suggest that young women totally forget about work/life balance until at least age 30, she was visibly startled. I told her that it’s hard out there, and if you follow the crowd, there will not be any Social Security for you when you need it, and you don’t want to be in the same boat as the rest of the crowd. I’m not sure she believed me. More
I put out a call on Facebook: “Do I know any transmen who are willing to talk (anonymously is fine) about having access to sexist discussions one would not, as a woman, have access to?” More
According to The Daily Mail everyone in charge at your office is a narcissist or a psychopath, or maybe just Machiavellian.They explain: More
That’s terrible! I’m so sorry! (Hugs, ice cream, vodka!) You don’t deserve this! More

Reading this Craigslist ad is probably the most unusual thing we’ve experienced today, but then, we never worked for a chef who farted on us.
Not like one West Village Chef’s staff. The chef himself explains, on Craigslist, that: More
