A white male engineer at Google's Mountain View office made big news this weekend, publishing an essay that blasted the company's efforts to recruit women, people of color and other minorities into its ranks and leadership positions.
The backlash has been ferocious, but many believe that the engineer's words reflect the widespread mentality among white men -- a totally dominant hierarchy in tech -- that women and other minorities do not have the mental capacity to meet the standards set by their superior white male minds and competencies.

EMILY's List is putting 50 House and Senate Republicans "On Notice" for 2018 in a new campaign. Hopefully, Emily's List will also take seriously the threat from Democratic leadership and develop -- in concert with Planned Parenthood, NARAL and other non-negotiable stalwarts of women's rights -- a strategy to deal with this self-defeating Democratic-leadership male stupidity. We can then contribute to special campaigns targeting anti-choice Democratic candidates wooed by the new Democrats Boys Club. They've got my money.

Selena Gomez Covers InStyle US September 2017 Fashion Issue, Lensed By Phil Poynter
Pop superstar Selena Gomez covers the September 2017 fashion issue of InStyle US, styled by Kate Young in Miu Miu, Alexander McQueen, Coach 1941, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana. Fashion photographer Phil Poynter flashes Gomez, who is interviewed by Laura Brown, who describes Gomez:
Gomez has a particularly potent power: Her celebrity comes not just from what she creates, how she looks, and whom she dates but from how she has suffered and how she has picked herself up. She is not a great advocate of the kind of childhood fame she experienced on the Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place. “I think it is really dysfunctional to be in this industry at a young age where you’re figuring out who you are. I don’t recommend it.”
Gomez also talks with joy about her adult relationship -- as opposed to being Justin Bieber's fan girl -- with The Weeknd, who has his own celebrity gaggle on the cover of Harper's Bazaar US's September fashion issue.

NYT Writer Bari Weiss Challenges 'Radical' Ideology Of Women's March Quartet
In the midst of our Trump tears, The Women's March mobilized our anger and our anxieties on Jan. 21. Writing for The New York Times, Bari Weiss reminds us of the tremendous unity that seemed to exist among Democrats and progressives on that historic day.
Four exceptional women — Tamika Mallory, Bob Bland, Carmen Perez and Linda Sarsour — were the faces of the march. All well-known in progressive circles, the quartet was widely praised, writes Weiss.

Jordan's Parliament joined voted Tuesday to revoke a law allowing rapists to escape criminal prosecution if they marry their victims. Such laws are widespread in the Arab world as well as in the Philippines, a majority Catholic country, and have served benefit rapists for centuries.

For more than 20 years, Laurene Powell Jobs has engaged in education-reform through her organization, Emerson Collective. In her March 2016 Vogue interview, Powell explained why she's always been attracted to Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Transcendentalists.
“So there’s Emerson’s idea of self-reliance,” she explained to Robert Sullivan, who explains that self-reliance is a big theme for Powell Jobs, given her rural New Jersey roots and current status as one of the world's richest people. “I’ve always had this idea that you have to make the most of things,” she says. “And then collective because I wanted the idea that you achieve your goals with people, because good ideas come from a lot of places.”
Laurene Powell Jobs and her Emerson Collective made news this week with the announcement that they have bought a majority stake in The Atlantic magazine and website. David G. Bradley, the chairman and owner of Atlantic Media will retain a minority stake in The Atlantic and will continue as chairman and operating partner for at least three to five years, writes The Atlantic. In a letter to his staff, Bradley wrote that Emerson Collective will most likely assume full ownership of The Atlantic within five years.
Emerson Collective already has significant investments in media, from movie-production companies such as Anonymous Content to start-ups such as The California Sunday Magazine. The organization has provided support to several nonprofit journalism outlets, including the Marshall Project and ProPublica.
In a statement, Powell Jobs noted that her inspiring muse Ralph Waldo Emerson was a co-founder of The Atlantic. She praised the highly-profitable, expending audience magazine for the breadth and scope of its purpose: to “bring about equality for all people; to illuminate and defend the American idea; to celebrate American culture and literature; and to cover our marvelous, and sometimes messy, democratic experiment.”
