| | Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Employers are struggling to get inside the heads of young women, Chelsea Handler spills some details on her new Netflix show, and I dare any of you to tell me to smile. Have a wonderful Thursday. | |

| | • Makes the world go 'round. As employers focus on wooing and retaining millennials, there's been increasing attention paid to (rather flimsy) evidence suggesting that young women are more likely to burn out and leave their jobs than their male counterparts, as well as to the overblown notion that twenty- and early thirty-somethings are dropping out to have children. But a study finds that the No. 1 reason young women give for quitting is more straightforward—and identical to a top response of young men: They found a better salary elsewhere. Fortune | |

| | Don't tell her to smile. Every woman who has ever been told to "Smile!" by some stranger on the street cringed on Tuesday night when MSNBC host Joe Scarborough tweeted the following message to Hillary Clinton about her four Super Tuesday primary victories: "Smile. You just had a big night. #PrimaryDay." At this point, we are used to hearing Clinton criticized for her voice, which—depending on who you ask—is either too loud, too angry, too flat, or too shrill. And while Tuesday night was no different, there was something about Scarborough's comment that grated in a unique and visceral way. What is it about being told to smile? There's the idea that smiling makes women look "prettier," and the implication that appearing attractive to men is one of our responsibilities. Then there's the condescension of being told the correct way to feel. (You should always be happy!) Of course, a smile also makes you look friendlier—or perhaps I should say, more docile. It's a way of neutralizing a woman who might otherwise be read as a potentially threatening presence. Whatever it is, Twitter users felt it and were quick to react to Scarborough's directive.
