May 13 Miscellany
by CarolineToday is my half birthday. I’ve been quiet lately, and it’s because I’m a lousy jerk!
Today’s Miscellany is a short but meaningful lady edition.
The New York Times has an eye-opening piece about woman-on-woman workplace bullying. Last night I had dinner with one of my favorite women, and we talked about how relating to coworkers can be difficult, but I’ve never seen or heard of anything like this in workplaces — however, every female in America who went to or currently goes to public school knows how mean girls can be.
This Guardian piece offers 10 things you must tell your teenage girl, even if she won’t know how true they are until later. Especially interesting to me: “New research shows that girls who are given alcohol before the age of 18 by their parents are more likely to develop a drinking problem.”
