    It's called "falling" in love because it feels like falling - not a cute little trip-and-stumble into warm arms but an extended fall as from a precipice, through the darkest midnight-cobalt space, no moorings at all. It's amazing we ever want to invite the sheer chaos of it.

    The thing is, it's not really about aging backwards. It is about what the French call "bien dans sa peau" - comfortable in your own skin -- and Angela Bassett has that. She has the confidence and vitality no one in their 20s could achieve, bc it's EARNED. She's stunning. 💕💕

    Inspired by the truth (and grit) in this story about the weight of depression and eating disorders for a star female athlete

    I think we none of us realize the importance, nay the sweetness, of admiration; it is one of the dying virtues of character.

    This is a great point. Many of the men who do this want to plead innocent misunderstanding, but those are easy to spot and forgive. Malice is not.

    This thread is 👍 and is replicated in all kinds of different organizations, benignly or deliberately. As for the first story, lol, bc the majority of men I’ve known who were harassing women did so with purpose, intent, and malice; it wasn’t a mistake or misunderstanding.

    (By the way, all of this is true in politics too. Political reporters also never talk about it.)

    But also imagine years and years of hearing about things like this and you know why I (and a lot of financial journalists) go heavy on the kittens

    So if you're a professional who's also a woman, and if you feel like some powerful man is not taking you seriously, it's because he's not. And he can't. Because he's never had to take women seriously, not as sovereign beings. Sorry! This ends this bummer thread.

    I normally avoid tweeting about the sordid underbelly of finance -- this being a family Twitter feed for the most part, heavy on the kittens -- but you can't talk about corporate and financial culture properly without understanding how the men in it see gender relations.

    Anyway, reporters have to be a lot less credulous on these backlash stories. Instead of letting guys pretend (anonymously 🙄) that their nonexistent mentoring is coming to an end (🧐) be a little more skeptical and ask how much mentoring they were *ever* doing.

    It's important to understand that a lot of rich, prominent men rarely or never interact w/ women they're not in financial control of: Wives, or employees, or mistresses. They literally have no frame of reference for a professional woman with independent ambitions. Mentoring? Lol.

    These men were never going to mentor any women, they've spent their entire careers keeping women in second-class roles (INCLUDING THE NAME BADGES THEY WEAR), so the idea that has somehow shut down their genderwoke professional generosity is an *enormous* joke.

    If you have not read Anya Schiffrin's brilliant piece on Davos Wives, Davos Mistresses and Davos Aspiring Mistresses, here's your chance to catch up. These men do not largely spend time with women out of professional generosity.

    This story is hilarious because the vast majority of women at Davos are paid escorts and mistresses. These are not men who are interacting with many professional business women, much less mentoring them.

    Here's more on 's Holocaust Museum. It doesn't take a lot of room. Most schools have this space. When you look around at the rise of racism and Nazi movements, you realize how necessary it is to remind students, while young, of history.

    You can't really know how valuable safety and liberty are until you're actively reminded how much they cost, and how many people died without them. Not even a lifetime ago. It is so easy to start the hate that leads to mass murder. No hate, no racism, should be indulged.

    I went to , a school that built an entire Holocaust Center -- a museum within the school building -- so that we would never forget. My best friend, a Ukrainian Jewish refugee, worked there and took people on tours. Every American school district should have this.
