They say that’s a pretty good chunk of change for the ninties.
Who is “they”? And you’d better stop listening to “they” because “they” are ignorant.
To put the $35,000 in context, the average annual wage in 1990 was $21,000; in 2010 it was $41,700. (http://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/AWI.html) So, no, $35,000 was peanuts as far as a settlement goes even back in the 1990s. And we are not talking about settlements; these women received *severance packages*.
I have had enough experience with this kind of thing to know *exactly* what a severance package of roughly one year’s salary means. It means the dismissed employee has got squat.
And all your silly “BWHAHAHAHA!!!”, “RIIIGGGGHHHHT”, “LOL!!!”, and “Gawwwwd” do not dissuade me from what I know from personal experience. Sorry.

Thirty five thousand may be squat to you, standard somewhere and even called “severance pay”, but to the conservative base in the real world ninties, that would be a truck load of money, a “settlement” straight up, and
certainly suggesting there was a problem. When a woman, er, women, (times three) avoid the guy like the plague there is a problem. The smoke here smells by now.
