Thank you @AOC for highlighting the #genderbias that women face *every day.* And for the record, not hiring or firing a woman because she’s pregnant is AGAINST THE LAW.
I was in a conversation*this year* w/ many people in the room &one guy asked if he could rescind a job offer if he found out a candidate was pregnant.
In my early 20s I was told that if I got engaged, don’t wear the ring to interviews to better my odds.
This is *present day.*
