    I’m sure your conclusions were ignored. But not because of your gender, it’s because they didn’t like what you had to say. Buddy, I’ve seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. As “one of the boys” men feel comfortable telling me things like “I’ll never let a girl fly on my endorsement” ( this person being a flight instructor). And “Is there a different mechanic I can talk to?” Before she even gave him a diagnosis. Or flat out ignoring a really good suggestion in a meeting at a brand new school I worked at. Only to have a male colleague suggest the same thing an hour later to praise and action. Shit’s fucked.

    I don’t think the shadows at night thing is genetics. Think that’s more of a paying attention lol. People say they can’t see and that’s because they’re looking for details and colour. In the dark you’re looking for outlines and shadows. I learned this from my flight instructor. But it’s a skill more people need to learn. This isn’t to say night blindness doesn’t exist.

    I read this, don’t know if it’s true, that in the UK the sentence used to be “hang by the neck” but then they cut the rope before a guy died. He argued that the sentence was to hang by the neck, and the sentence was fulfilled. The judge agreed and from then on it was “hang by the neck till dead”. Might be totally made up but I want it to be true
