  • Why is no one worried about the obvious decay of democracy under Biden and the DNC? 2020 was a very obvious act of anti-democracy when they messed with the prelims, no one got all bent out of shape. Just all piled on board. No one Saud a peep when they chose Harris was VP either, even though she was (is) terrible.

    I can’t take anyone seriously who is crying about losing our democracy. We haven’t had democracy recently. The DNC did everything they could to prop up people who would do their bidding, and ignored the voters until the voters had no choice but to fall in line.










  • I’m a woman in STEM. I only went to a CC, so maybe there’s a difference there, but I didn’t experience much sexism in my time there.

    I have experienced it at work, but usually from the younger, unsocialized men. Is it a problem? Sure, but I’ll take that over my bosses being sexist.

    Also, along with the sexism does come some privilege. When I do something wrong, I tend to get taken easier on when it comes to punishment. I also am able to form… different (non-sexial) bonds with the higher ups. These dynamics are much different to any bonds I had with female bosses from my previous field of work, and they’re different than the bonds the higher ups have with my male counterparts. I can say that I don’t worry about being laid off or fired.

    However, I’m also fairly certain that I have a sharp awareness of these bonds and how to manipulate them to get what I want.

    Not trying to poo-poo any sexism claims, just that there’s also certainly a privilege to be had being a woman minority in a male-dominated field.
