best years of my life are still ahead of me

"My husband is state sanctioned murderer with extreme paranoia that is ready to whip out a gun and start blasting at a moments notice. I feel so safe!"

“Why isnt there a girl version of the ww2/ancient rome/napoleonic war/cold war history boy” one teenage girls are very much interested in those topics as well they just tend to speak up less about it because those spaces are full of misogynist assholes. Two it’s because reporting back from the field the main camps of interest for teenage girls tend to be messy dynastic collapses (the Plantagenets, the Romanovs, Maria Antoinette), what I’m gonna call disaster history (the Titanic, Chernobyl, the triangle shirtwaist factory fire that one is serious business to them), gross wacky medical shit, and most popular of all what I would describe as a naescent desire to get to the heart of all human evil and understand what could motivate it (imperialism, genocide, eugenics).

Can't wait for the field to be 50% women and suddenly become a "girl thing" and not all that serious or important and have men leave the field in droves. It sucks that this happens to every field that women get into (biology, real estate, etc.,) but also I hope to live to see the day when men start saying "ugh, the Roman Empire and World War II are for girls" with full sincerity.

Ooh! Spot the industrial safety device! The worker has to press a 'stab the cheese' button with both hands. This is because if they're doing that, neither of their hands can be within the cheese stabbing zone.

This cheese is being stabbed safely
