As a young female voter, I hate Hillary Clinton. I have hated her for a very long time. She comes off as completely disingenuous, power hungry for powers’ sake, and lacking in any real motivation or direction. What are the problems she wants to fix? Ever since her first go at this, I’ve completely resented the idea…

I absolutely agree with you that Dowd is an asshole, but this part is utter bullshit:

That’s pretty dumb.

Didn’t it take a German to get to the moon and make the bomb?

Too bad the people partly responsible for the The Bomb and going to the moon are from Germany. Also early, experimental TVs, movie theatres and studios.

aw shit yall we got a trekkie ready to start some shit in here

One of my oldest female friendships is rooted in middle school mutual Star Wars fandom!

Jesus. I’m 34 and grew up with Star Wars. I went to see the updated films in theaters in the 90’s. I cut school to see the first showing of Phantom Menace having bought the tickets 3 weeks in advance. I have the original VHS box set that I am NEVER getting rid of since it’s the BEST version. And I wasn’t the only girl…

Kind of, yeah. That’s kind of how science works. There’s a lot of maybes with scientific research and it’s foolish to say something is definitive until it is.

I think I like that there is a control stick option. I do use it for some games, and when I do, it’s way better than a D-pad. More importantly, a control stick can function as a D-pad when it needs to, but a D-pad can’t function like a control stick. So, it makes sense that they’d go that direction instead.

I call BS on that. STEM, with tech in particular, is treated as a boys club and women are almost always either looked down upon in terms of skills and capabilities or only viewed at as eye candy. That is something I can personally attest to. I’ve seen resumes come in from women and the only time they even get a chance…
