Hopefully I can get back into my old job next year and with her promotion we should be doing better than we ever have but getting there has been one of the most difficult tasks we have ever undertaken, and it doesn't help that I have fibromyalgia. #futurism

I mean, what kind of hellish nightmare of a future would it have been if Greg became a rocket cadet, but ended up with a plain wife?
There would be no point in fighting for that. #futurism

Well it's a matter of time, really. Universities have more women than men in more than noticeable numbers. I think this applies to all countries right now, I'm not sure.
I say, serves you right. Lazy and dumb are not qualities that should be passed on to the future generations.
We'll see what happens in the next 20 years, maybe 10.
WE'LL SEE.

Anyway in USA at working age there isn't more women than men? And with the economy in the way it is most jobs being lost are typical male (construction and alike). but once these jobs start again will be hiring men for it.
I don't know how it is in the US but where I went to college there were three main buildings divided by subject, in the humans and social studies there wasn't visible diference of numbers between sexs but on the engeniring there was a lot more men and on the bio studies there were more women. #futurism

"What stupid ending, this guy instead of doing a story about equal right ends up doing something that gives reason to a sex dominance over other."
did you miss the part where this is from the 1950s? you know, before women could vote and stuff? #futurism

But she was so plain and so non-aggressive in her push for the vote. We don't want the girls to know that it was people like Alice Paul and their crazy radicalism and sometimes violent protests that REALLY got the vote in motion... #futurism

The biggest, if not the only reason female employees are increasing so much is so the workforce only has to get 80% of the pay they already do, from corporate fatcats who are just as much male chauvanists today as they were 80 years ago.
It's like when sweatshop owners smuggle in workers from China, Mexico and India, then wonder where all these foreigners came from. #futurism
