It Pays To Be A Man, Part 2938573098

Ladies, save this link in your bookmarks bar for A) the next time you negotiate $$$ at work, and B) the next time some idiot tells you the gender pay gap is just a figment of our collective hormonal imagination: the Wall Street Journal put together the cross-industry pay gap calculator we’ve been waiting for. Just type in your occupation, click and seethe away! (Then march your hard-working ass straight to HR and get yourself some equal pay).

In other gender-and-workplace-related news, you’ve gotta read this piece from Time on how transgender men get treated differently professional after their transition. Super interesting because the transgender male perspective comes up so rarely, but when you read quotes like this, it’s a wonder why such a unique POV isn’t covered more:

“Many trans men I spoke with said they had no idea how rough women at work had it until they transitioned. As soon as they came out as men, they found their missteps minimized and their successes amplified. Often, they say, their words carried more weight: They seemed to gain authority and professional respect overnight.”

And to close out this week, it would be a personal failure if I didn’t order you to go check out Ariana’s new album, which dropped today. Enjoy!
