Kwit - Yes, it’s sad. They aren’t easy fields! I hold a biology degree, a master’s in biology education, and another in special education. 8 years of higher learning. All are seen as female-dominated, so less valuable and less worthy of the pay they deserve. The reverse can be seen… Read More

My great aunt was a very liberal woman for her time, coming into adulthood in the mid-1940s. She was a very rebellious person, going against her conservative Christian upbringing, and had a number of flings around town that resulted in pregnancies. To this day, our family doesn’t… Read More

Quentin Coldwater 100%. To kill off your queer, mentally ill lead who had suicidal ideation and then explain it away with “yes, you died, but your friends think you’re a hero and you can finally be happy now”?! (After queerbaiting fans for seasons!) It was triggering as all hell.… Read More
