Never get more than the thumbnail on vids here, but I remember her from something...

Anyway, I can guess why more women aren't in electronics. I can but I won't.

I can guess why more women aren't in welding. I have a bunch, and I'm only sure I was wrong a lot.

So I have taught a dozen or more, explaining that my theory about why there aren't more women in welding is because there aren't more women in welding. My youngest student (12) just brought her project back, because she wasn't happy with the fit. Practiced 4 solid hours, then added her weld.

I don't consider it a win to have taught her, so much as who she might reach.

The 'Walsh Question' 'What Is A Woman?' I'll put an answer here when someone posts one that is clear and comprehensible, by apostates to the Faith.

Update: I've been offered one!

I noticed they didn't quote what he said that was of concern. I guess I'll just take their word for it. Maybe I can get a refund on 'The God Delusion', and go pull down my posts from RDF.

I mean, he MUST have said horrible, inhuman things, right? They probably just didn't quote it because they don't want to be cancelled themselves.

Idiots. Unless their goal is to give the right another reason to complain about "wokeness", this accomplishes nothing.

... In a Twitter post on 10 April, he wrote: “In 2015, Rachel Dolezal, a white chapter president of NAACP, was vilified for identifying as Black.

“Some men choose to identify as women, and some women choose to identify as men. You will be vilified if you deny that they literally are what they identify as. Discuss.”

He later clarified his comments: “I do not intend to disparage trans people. I see that my academic ‘Discuss’ question has been misconstrued as such and I deplore this.

“It was also not my intent to ally in any way with Republican bigots in US now exploiting this issue .”

...

The Independent has contacted Mr Dawkins for comment.

But the scientist told The Times “the honour hadn’t meant enough to me to be worth recording in my CV”.

Always nice to hear your thoughts on things. Do try to sample your own advice though. It could serve you well.

Fox News' latest absurd bogeyman. Never mind global warming, systemic racism and police violence, the worst wealth inequality in US history, the worst pandemic in a century... No, just ignore all that because the REAL problem... the real (latest) thing DESTROYING the greatest nation god ever created is "wokeism". Yes, that's right, "wokeism" is the left's new religion and it will surely destroy the universe if conservatives don't come together to put a stop to it.
