- "I recently watched the first season of Mad Men on DVD. I got that it the sexism and misogyny in it were retro. I assumed the creators were painting a picture of how things once were, not how they long for things to be. In fact, I took a lot of it as an ironic nod to how much better things are now. But the supreme irony was that the show itself really was misogynistic in several places."
- "Nadifo Yusuf, a Muslim Canadian woman, claims that she was fired from her job scanning boxes at a UPS delivery plant in Toronto because she refused to hike up her skirt above her knees. "
