I am a 46 year old Canadian. I have a wife and two kids. I was 13 when 99 Luftballons was a hit. When I was 15, I was terrified that the Persian Gulf Crisis would spill over and create a nuclear conflict. My parents talk about the Cuban Missile Crisis and have more than once, said that they seriously debated bringing…
Sally is a Hero!!!
This is a really, really good panel & thank-you (Jezebel) for helping to host it.
On the education of kids with special needs:
the Imitation Game largely erased the role of female computers in code breaking during WWII
I am actually a little grateful that Mickeysfsfsf is contributing to this thread, because his attitude and arguments are actually very common amongst the new tech transplants in the area, and I think he gives a first-hand demonstration of why there is such a backlash against the new tech industry.

My brother just finished the OBGYN part of med school and told me that, contrary to what my instincts may tell me, using birth control and not having a period at all is perfectly fine and is not going to fuck me up in any way. Maybe I should look into that.
OMG this! My threshold for contributing to class is that I thoroughly understand the material AND have something substantial AND novel to add. With guys, they seem to believe they’re blessing the proceedings with the sound of their inane, uninformed fucking voices.
After TAing more than a dozen classes, I wish I could say I was even a little bit surprised by this. Moderately prepared male students speak up more than the highest-achieving female students, and then other students assume they must know what they’re talking about or they wouldn’t volunteer so much. Exceptions…
In 1940, my grandparents got married. It was the first marriage, and first real relationship, for both of them.
Cold here in Boston too! (Okay just outside but close enough. It would take me 2 mins to be in Boston proper.) Snuggled with a soft blanket and a kitty. Maybe making hot chocolate.
