| | | | | February 23, 2018 | | Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Glossier raises a big round, Kylie Jenner may have tanked Snap’s stock, and Barclays is paying female investment bankers less than half (half!) of what their male colleagues are earning. Have a wonderful weekend. | | | | • #MyPaycheckToo. Apologies in advance for setting your blood boiling first thing Friday morning. But Barclays, the first big U.K. bank to publish its gender pay gap under country's new disclosure laws, has revealed that it pays its female investment bankers just under half as much as their male colleagues (on average). That gap widens to 79% for bonuses paid to employees at its corporate and investment bank. | | The disparity is exacerbated by the fact that men dominate the bank's top ranks. Less than a third of Barclay's senior managers are female, and only a single woman, interim chief compliance officer Laura Padovani, sits on its nine-member group executive committee.

While there's still a lot to do in terms of outing sexual harassers and assaulters, this story suggests just how overdue we are for that particular reckoning. So allow me to steal a term from this Bloomberg story and say: the paytriarchy is next. Bloomberg | | | | . | | |  | | . | | | | | | | • Glossier get flossier.

Recode • Kylie snaps back. On Wednesday, Kylie Jenner joined the ranks of Snapchat users complaining about the platform's latest redesign, tweeting that she no longer opens the app. The next day, shares of Snap fell as much as 7% in trading—helping the company shed over $1 billion in value, bringing its market cap to about $22 billion. What do you think? Was it the Kylie Effect? Fortune • Shutting it down. Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lawrence are having none of Harvey Weinstein's attempts to use their previous comments to bolster his attempt to win the dismissal of a lawsuit accusing him of sexual misconduct. Both actresses have released withering statements dismissing the ploy and asserting their support of the women who are accusing Weinstein of abuse. Th producer has since apologized.
