I guess this is the sort of comment I should expect from someone bragging about being โ€œunhingedโ€ ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

This is a much more respectful way of voicing this perspective than anyone else on this thread so thank you. I just did not think the nastiness directed at the OP by others was necessary or helpful which is why I felt the need to say something.

I said I donโ€™t interpret this comment the same way and actually it does add something, to offer that there is another perspective. Your opinion is no more the final word than mine is and Iโ€™m under no obligation to abide by your imagined cues to be silent.

Again, I donโ€™t interpret people pointing out that older women had it worse as trying to shut down my experience but you do you

I just donโ€™t take it as a personal affront when people older than me point this out ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, Katherine Johnson, etc. Seems relevant being that this fundamental problem is far from being in any way unique to recent decades and is in fact just one piece of a larger history.

Is it that bizarre of a comment though? The only assumptions I see are in your response. I am in the age cohort you mention but donโ€™t bristle at being reminded that women older than me had it worse. They did, and there are plenty of battles I never had to fight because they did.

That's how you can tell human authors from AI.

AI will put in some em dashes, then apologise and take them out when told off.

Human authors will climb the filing cabinet, hissing, and defend their right to em dashes with a loaded stapler.

Trump is taking a huge dump on everything but sure not putting your hand on your heart or taking your hat off during the anthem is a bridge too far.

Have never cared for forced displays of patriotism but this sort of theatre really grinds my gears right now.

FFS Iโ€™d like to see the same reverence for democracy as a system as symbols like a flag or anthem from these people.

I never considered this could have driven my own preference in some way. Irony is it becomes more challenging to live in these areas when you have kids.

Perhaps the โ€œcrisisโ€ is an obsession with having some sort of rulebook on how to perform masculinity, rather than doing the work of learning who you are and what you want out of life. As a person.

I didnโ€™t need to adopt a societal prescription for how I perform femininity to avoid a โ€œfemininity crisis.โ€

Dersh has been banging this drum since Trump1 & the really good news is: ostracism works, even on the shameless.

Tons of people miss this--the shameless are hyper-sensitive to stigma.

Civil society should use this free, non-violent tool to punish destructive people a lot more often. It works.

Well maybe go talk to those people and not me because the point of my post was not about either of their respective politics

Flight out of JFK got cancelled and they rebooked us to an earlier flight while we were on our way from Ireland, and now I see why. Yikes, lucky we are getting out.

We went to a comedy show in Dublin our first night in Ireland and at least one comic found a minute to do exactly this

On a completely related note, wife was casually perusing houses in Mexico last night and if she gave me the go ahead Iโ€™d be ready to go. Hard to imagine life in TX will be good for us. bsky.app/profile/angr...

One thing I canโ€™t stop thinking about is that Mexico elected a female PhD climate scientist as president, and her approval rating is 75%.

Meanwhile, our fellow Americans elected an anti-intellectual climate denying felonious rapist and traitor, rather than elect a smart, strong woman.

Will people still want to go to these colleges? I donโ€™t intend to push my kid in a particular direction, but if this were their desire no way Iโ€™d contribute a dime to the endeavor.

May still find a way to fit Cliffs of Moher tomorrow but no regrets about prioritizing Connemara National park ๐Ÿ˜Š

Received the best most direct travel advice of my life from Irish bellman at my hotel. He offered to help us prioritize sights for the last leg of our trip, and I asked about Cliffs of Moher.

โ€œYou get there and youโ€™re like yep itโ€™s some cliffs.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚
