Feminists

The entire thread is great. I didn't receive anything like this kind of support when I entered college in the early 1970's. My advisor did everything he could to discourage me from going into my chosen profession, including trying to gross me out with graphic descriptions. I loved science throughout my school years. I chose going into veterinary medicine because I thought the ecological field was overcrowded. After trying hard to discourage me, he actually told me to "go home and have babies ". I ended up dropping out of college. I tried to go back several times at later points in my life, but never managed to make it through. I have always wondered how different my life would have been if I had been met with a supportive counselor and system back when I first entered college. Congratulations to everyone who managed to make it through college. This horrid mess with the SC trying to overturn Roe vs Wade and take away human rights and personhood from over half the population makes it crystal clear that now, more than ever, we need more women elected to important positions in government and industry. Getting a good solid education in science and math can really help. MAY PATRIARCHY FALL!!!
