What Explains the Lesbian Wage Premium? →
on average, lesbians make 6% more than straight women. The predominant theory is that straight women expect to end up with a male partner who makes significantly more than they do; lesbians expect to end up with a female partner who makes a similar amount.  Regardless of sexuality, asking for more money is one place to begin. Just sayin.

I think this is a complete misuse of the term because it implies choice. A digital divide is a class and resource based divide not a...

How To Think About the Internet
Me: If you were trying to get people to think critically about how they discover, trust and understand information they find online, what questions would you suggest they ask? What questions would you ask of research experts to help average internet users be more critical and savvy about trusting online content or identifying online authorities or experts?
