"When I was interviewed by the head of the department, he asked what I wanted to do as a career. When I said reporter, he told me that wasn’t a very good job for a woman. Especially if I wanted a family." #LDS #BYU https://t.co/xIlHugD9Jp

Lol I had a moment today. Guys actually say this crap:

“I prefer girls not to have a career or to want a small one. Family Studies is a good Mom major. If they study something like engineering they’re never gonna use it...” @HeardAtBYU

I’m still trying to process last night. My nightmare: sitting in an empty theatre with the rest of the cast and crew because no one showed up. That didn’t happen! Instead representatives left fund raisers to support our movie #JaneandEmma thank you! @RepMiaLove 💕💕

A new study finds that men in STEM subject areas overestimate their own intelligence and credentials, underestimate the abilities of female colleagues, and that as a result, women themselves doubt their abilities — even when evidence says otherwise. https://t.co/nAev5JmCSy

@tisheli @wgu Congratulations! 👊🏻

It's been almost four years since I quit teaching and went back to school. I started at @wgu on 1/1/17 with 81 credits to go. Today I am a software engineer, and I have more than doubled my teacher's salary.

This is aspiring.
