    Literally first question on a job application. I'm going to say no, because it's not.

    So here's a kind-of idea that might be of some use, re accommodations for women. It seems to me we might be able to consider them of two kinds, maybe 'contingent' and 'fixed'. The contingent kind are in place due to women being historically disadvantaged, and due to the prevalence of sexism and misogyny in society--these are things like women's shortlists, women's awards, reserved places for women. The fixed kind will always be required, even if women and men had completely equal treatment in every sector of society--these are things like different strength requirements for some jobs, maternity leave, different medical requirements. I wonder if this way of looking at it might help some people who remain 'iffy' about 'special treatment' for women.

    @GalacticTurtle And another component of this 'understanding your sexed body' curriculum, for girls, should be 'medical issues relating only to women are not well understood because up until very recently the medical profession, consisting almost entirely of men, had zero interest in anything that didn't affect them'--including the relevant chapter(s) from Caroline Criado Perez. And, if they're ready, maybe teaching even more about the history of Western medicine's treatment of women:

    These are all such fantastic ideas. What I'm realising after reading this is that 'sex ed' actually means 'education about your sex (now that you're approaching puberty and need some understanding about what you need to know to safely and successfully live in a female body)' rather than just 'what we think you need to know about human reproduction'.

    Also really good idea to start talking about menopause early. I mentioned the other day that we had a women's meeting at work to discuss menopause and it was blowing all of their minds--but they were very eager to learn and prepare, as well as to understand the experience of their older female relatives and colleagues (many women at this meeting talked about how they now understood their mothers better). I knew absolutely nothing about menopause when I started--but I was also extremely lucky to have had a relatively easy menopause; if I'd gone through half of what some of these women described I don't know what I'd have done (one woman said suicide stats for women 45-55 are pretty high).

    @senryu Definitely. I've posted here before about my realisations about 'ambition'. Women don't get the high status/high salary jobs, you see, because women just aren't 'ambitious' enough to take the risks and make the sacrifices. Leaving aside how women don't get the same overt rewards for achievement that men do, the reason men are so fired up to become 'successful' (in whatever political, social or economic way our culture defines it) is because the number one reward for 'successful' men is raping rights, and that's really all they want.

    @PennyLope @GalacticTurtle Men still don't realise that women can actually leave. Up until very recently we really didn't have a choice--since we had little or no access to resources not via a man, we had to do our best with the resource-provider we ended up with. They really don't get that we now have agency (difficult as it still is, physically and financially, for so many women to sever a connection with a man).

    @GalacticTurtle This isn't rocket science. Women are having fewer kids because they can't find men they can trust to raise a family with. (And now, unlike at any other time in history, women can choose whether and with whom to raise a family, because for the first time in history many, even most, of us have other options.)

    @GalacticTurtle I was just looking her up...it seems like she's doing a lot of really important feminist work. And I don't see a word online about her husband or children (if she has them). Hm.

    @Ladyfat I do remember someone pointing out that showering in the morning Vs evening indicates what kind of work you do...and if you work the late shift or are exhausted you may just skip the evening.

    Watching the 2015 Macbeth (maybe I should have saved it for coronation day). Eerie and atmospheric, though very gory. A couple of the scenes really work.

    Every time I see a new version of a play I've seen dozens of times I learn something new. In this one--Macbeth talking about being on a barren throne, and that Banquo will have the advantage of his sin, is casually pointing a sword at Lady Macbeth's womb. I don't know why I never thought about the fact that in those days when a couple didn't have children it was the woman's fault. And when Fleance runs from his father's murder, the witches take him up so he's not found by the murderers.

    I still like the green screen Macbeth best as a film adaptation.

    @jmakesart It is good but it's a bit 'punching down'; she's an actual philosopher and he's some dude with an MA.
