Get ready to facepalm, people! In no particular order, here are the top anti-feminist gaffes of 2014:
“It’s not really about asking for the raise but knowing and having faith that the system will actually give you the right raises as you go along. And that I think might be one of the additional superpowers that quite frankly women who don’t ask for raises have. Because that’s good karma, that’ll come back.”
–Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during a panel at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference
“Let’s be honest. Does anyone not believe that Congressman Annie Kuster is as ugly as sin? And I hope I haven’t offended sin.”
–Rep. Steve Vaillancourt (R-NH) in a blog post about fellow Congressmember Ann McLane Kuster (D-NH)
“You have nothing against feminism itself, but when did it become a thing that every celebrity had to state their position on whether this word applies to them, like some politician declaring a party? Let’s stick to the issues and quit throwing this label around like ticker tape at a Susan B. Anthony parade.”
–TIME correspondent Katy Steinmetz in the magazine’s controversial “worst words” poll
