Long story short, I'm a volunteer judge for a local history competition. One of my students is presenting on Title IX for hers. She's only about 12 or 13, so of course I don't expect anything substantial.
In the feedback section, I'm gently encouraging her to 1) not take her rights as a girl for granted, 2) reach out to women born before 1972 to get some eye witness testimonies to the pre-Title IX women's world for her project, and 3) understand just how important Title IX was for American girls and women.
Hopefully, it'll plant a seed in this girl's head not to take her rights for granted. So many young people don't understand how much worse the Western world used to be for us.
Yep. I saw a post on Reddit freaking out because of an email from a hiring manager who sent it to the wrong person - she was telling others not to hire "pronoun people" and the Reddit TPAs lost their shit. She's 100% right though. It's a red flag for unreasonable behavior and selfishness.
I bet there were many, many, many more such mails, who got to the right person no problem.
Because she is right.
