I think therefore I ruminate. Tech sector plebeian. I tweet about feminism, Seattle, the great PNW, technology, books, food, music, liberal politics. Sometimes I cuss. Low estrogen levels: FAFO.

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place.
Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

Because it’s not just Bari Weiss’ CBS asking this question—in the last few months, I’ve been approached by half a dozen different shows looking to ‘debate’ the same topic.
I even got a request from NPR-distributed “Open to Debate” to see if I’d weigh in on “Has Feminism Hurt Women?”

In a conversation about discrimination and harassment in the tech sector, a younger female told me “Callie, you’re so strong.”
“No, I’m not strong,” I said. “I’m a woman over 50 with no more fucks and a lawyer.”

Thoughts on bike commuting in Chandler, AZ:
1. It is flat here, which is so nice for cycling.
2. Hyper-awareness and defensive cycling are imperative at intersections. 90% of drivers at intersections were turning right while looking left. If I wasn't paying attention, I would have been hit.
