Becoming irretrievably undesirable to men was like top 5 reasons for doing a PhD, for me. I'm not sure why they seem to think it's a negative 😆

Thank you for sharing our article - and your kind words! It's so wonderful to hear it has connected with people

thank you! That is really nice and not angry/bleak like so many, super interesting.

Thank you!
