There are "leadership positions" on this mailing list?! Wow, there are two words that make me leave a party.
I became aware of some these cable shows staying with my uncle for a few days. There are also the ones about plastic surgery.
It's incredible to imagine going under the knife to be attractive. Being open-minded it makes sense as some protection from ageism. I work out more for my mental health at this point, but I can see doing it for other practical reasons. I bet many women are more practically-minded than vain when it comes to fitness -- it is just expected, even though it is isn't fair.
I don't think the sexism is just from men, but the overt stuff is mostly from men.

Yep. It is sexist. But lest we get confused, the sexists are men, not women. I'm pummeled on a daily basis for my ... [ahem] "sensitivity". On Twitch recently, some jerk gamer accused me of being a CASUAL just for saying I liked playing co-op games with Renee' ... the Texas analog for being called all sorts of names line "Nancy boy".
I regularly come back to the idea that if women were the majority in leadership positions, our world would be a better place. I don't know if it's true. But we should give it a shot, including on this mailing list.
