Off-topic, but back in 1996 The Craft girls were my absolute fashion icons. I wish that look was still in style now because I would wear the shit out of it.

There are words in this comment, yet it is strangely incomprehensible.

It’s sick enough that girls are discouraged from pursuing science from a young age, but I really can’t stand the idea of all these bright young minds being subject to so much adversity even after they’ve entered the field.

In July 2014, an online survey of field scientists found that almost two-thirds of 666 respondents had been sexually harassed at a field [site],

Honestly, I think it’s because as a female you are worried you’ll be judged if you don’t show up. Dudes just take for granted that they can stay home when they are sick, their kid is sick, or it’s dangerous to travel.

When I listen to the misogyny experiences endured by EVERY WOMAN I KNOW, it becomes clear that too many men are behaving horribly EVERY GODDAMN DAY to women. My fellow men, DO NOT come at me with some version of “not all men.” I have seen too much and it infuriates me that I can’t do more to stop this shit from…

Man, Pittsburgh never makes it onto Jez for anything good.

The #YesAllWomen campaign seems like a million years ago now. Remember how it started a national conversation (that I thought would actually have an impact... boy was I wrong)?

“Why can’t women just be direct and honest if they don’t want to go out with you?!”

I feel a kind of tired anger over this. Sometimes it just feels like things will never change.
