It's no secret that some jobs discriminate based on age and gender. There's a reason that restaurants typically have teenage girls work as hostesses and servers and teenage boys washing dishes or bussing tables. It's not because one group is uniquely skilled at one of these jobs but because of industry conventions. There are still incredibly legal ways jobs can discriminate against certain groups.

In my 30-odd years of life, none of my romantic breakups have affected me quite like when I felt the pain of a friendship breakup. While it was not my fault (trust me), losing Magda and Molly (names changed for privacy) was probably the hardest experience of my life. It's true that people grow apart, but the sudden break in what was once a beautiful and meaningful relationship is always jarring. There really isn't a good rulebook for how to deal with the situation, but that doesn't stop TikToke…
