I work in a semi-technical offshoot of (ducks!) online marketing. I’ve always had rationalist tendencies, and reading the material on this website has had a “coming home” feeling for me. I appreciate the high level of discourse and the low levels of status-seeking behaviors.
I am female, and I read with interest the discussion on gender, but unfortunately I do not think I can contribute much to that topic, because I have been told repeatedly that I am “not like other women.” I certainly don’t think it would be a good idea to generalize from my example what other women think or feel (although to be honest the same could be said about my ability to represent the general populace).
I found my way here through the Harry Potter story, which a friend sent to me knowing that I would appreciate the themes. I am enjoying it tremendously.
