Men behave worse when they outnumber women. Put a woman alone in a meeting with four men, and 70 per cent of the interruptions she receives from men are negative. Turn it round so that you have four women and one man in the room: just 20 per cent of the interruptions women receive from men are negative. As the study says, when women predominate, 'Men undergo a drastic change. They become far less aggressive.'
Even very small boys - aged between three and a half and five - interrupt girls twice as often as the little girls interrupt them. Parents also interrupt daughters more often than sons, creating a pattern of behaviour in their children: the boys see that it is legitimate to interrupt girls and girls learn to expect it. This is setting children the example of the authority gap at such an impressionable age. It is iniquitous, but parents probably don't even realize they are doing it.

What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas

Day 2 of Funguary has been completed! Today's drawing was based on the lilac coral fungus. I always like to turn coral fungi into mermaids because 1 thematically appropriate and 2 I love drawing mermaids. Plus it gives me an excuse to use Krista's watercolor brushes :D

Taco
She was pretty fun to do since she has my favorite design in the show. (Love it when objects have accessories and scars)
Mic and Pickle are both her exs, she just keeps their trinkets cuz she's got issues (and Mic's because ya know, it's an invisibow). She and Pickle were queer platonic.
Taco's armless and uses prosthetics (like Baseball), tho it's hard to tell because of the long gloves. Prosthetic and S1 design below
Also please note: I know I said they're exs but please don't tag as ship for Mic/Taco it makes me uncomfortable

i like it when stories go "this person has done irredeemable, unforgivable things, but they want to change and do better, so not even their victims have the right to deny that"

In teaching her about oppression, be careful not to turn the oppressed into saints. Saintliness is not a prerequisite for dignity. People who are unkind and dishonest still deserve dignity. Property rights for Nigerian women, for example, is a major feminist issue, and the women do not need to be good and angelic to be allowed their property rights.
– Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2016) Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions, p. 58.
