Not even following the link and wsj is usually paywalled anyway, but just seeing the headline and I am totally not surprised. I mean, part of the reason I'm here is because I know the jig is up, and it drives me absolutely nuts how the world has everything ass backwards.

It's nice to have supportive male voices on here, especially yours! I have two teenage daughter and hearing voices like yours gives me hope that they will be supported. It's scary out there. It's getting scarier.
Thank you. I do hope that a lot of it is generational, and that young people have grown up in a world with more women in positions of authority, with mothers and fathers being more equal, and with women and their stories being better represented in mainstream culture (movies, TV, etc.), such that they're so much less inclined to even be able to think the old ways. I do admit to some concerns about young people and gender: whether the rise in identification as non-binary means they think they have to get rid of gender altogether, rather than be able to have two different, sometimes complementary, groups who can be treated equally, and, the higher number of biological sex females identifying as trans among teens, which makes me think at least some of it is they feel hopeless that women will ever be treated with respect. But I also remember that, at 45, maybe that's just my old man way of thinking, and that I need to trust the young people even more yet.
Waverly, good for you! One of the proudest parenting moments I had was when my then maybe 8 or 9 year old son came to me with a small fistful of money he had saved, and asked me if I could help him donate it to an abortion rights group. He had seen a news piece on the anti-abortion movement, and he was incensed that anyone thought they had the right to tell women what to do with their bodies.
HeтАЩs 35 now, and still a loud and proud feminist. When Trump was inaugurated, I was sick, and couldnтАЩt attend the WomenтАЩs March locally. He was living in another state, but he sent me photos of himself at the March where he lived. He texted me that he was marching for me, because he knew I couldnтАЩt.
He gets everything. HeтАЩs my only child. IтАЩm just hoping I can live long enough to pay off my house for him, without living so long I run out of money!
We could all do with more humility. And if we're doing something as a society to make that hard for men in particular, we should be looking to change it.

Wow, he is just awesome. Please tell him I said so. Increase his distribution in your will if you have one.
Joe,
He gets everything. HeтАЩs my only child. IтАЩm just hoping I can live long enough to pay off my house for him, without living so long I run out of money!
Thanks for sharing that article! It's not surprising that female surgeons might have less post-op problems.
