This is often driven by media portrayal. If young women aren’t seeing women being portrayed as directors in media, they might not make the mental leap to “I want to be a director, and I think it’s possible”. For example, the x files led to women in stem having more confidence in their choice of career (STEM career). https://geenadavisinstitute.org/research/the-scully-effect-i-want-to-believe-in-stem/
So well under half is a big change.
No racist thinks their racist. They think they’re right.
I really love these games. I like the silly little puzzles with the good music and art. The lack of story never really bothered me because every single person you meet is so unique looking that it enables a lot of people-watching imagination on my part. I just think they’re neat :)
Oh nice, thanks for the recommendations
That definitely makes sense. What’s a good SF book you’ve read recently?
I just had a friend tell me he loved the whole series (with caveats), why didn’t you like it?
My favorite internet video on the subject: https://youtu.be/WlP9aJnzyZw
Foresters. You have to have a degree(most are 2 years, but still), and you can make less than the fed poverty rate. The exception is a federal job, but those are very competitive.
You need to get some gray hair dye. Apply only a little, where people’s hair mostly starts to go grey, and then come in to one of your shifts. When the first person comments on it, act surprised and say “the witches curse was real! She said I would lost 13 years for encroaching on her house in the woods!” This way, you will get even more sympathy for being older. Your youth was stolen from you.
I do agree with you about the ick of it all, especially with it winning the tony like you mentioned. I think musicals have a weird relationship with reality, which can make creepy characters/situations hit different people in different ways. I think phantom/love never dies is a prime example of this.
And I get that this is a forum, but people get replies to their comments sent to their inbox, and it feels weird when I post something and then people disagree as if they aren’t in a discussion with me.
If someone said they enjoy something, why did you reply about how you think it’s bad? It’s a story that means a lot to them. I know this is the Internet where the other users don’t have feelings, but come on.
It may have a lot of the stylings of adult swim, but I think that lower decks is far more focused. Obviously it all comes down to taste, but you should really give it another go and definitely try strange new worlds. Strange new worlds is classic trek done so well.
I love the first two games. They are mainly great because of the humor, so your mileage may vary, but I really enjoy them.
Is that a fun way of saying glasses?
This has very little to do with my opinion of women’s agency and has more to do with my opinion on human agency in general. I have known many women in my stem field who are better than me at my job, and I know many that have faced discrimination/hostile work places.
I mention the Scully effect (see also the uhura effect) because as humans, we aren’t immune from propaganda, and when media companies accidentally or purposefully make a character that inspired people, it seems weird to not acknowledge it?
The number of big Hollywood directors is small, so general workplace trends might not be as noticable, but I still think that the typical director in media is depicted as male. I think that would have a noticable effect if you could find two populations who had experienced different depictions in media, and polled them about dream jobs.
