I think your first three paragraphs are fine, but your conclusion sounds very much like a casual justification for sexism. That doesn't sit well with me. (Among other things) I am not soft spoken. That fact actually gets me a lot of social friction for failing to be what people expect from a woman. I am trying to sort the wheat from the chaff. I hope to start blogging soon in a "thinking out loud" manner. My hope is to sort a few things out for myself and maybe help other people think through the problem space a tad. I am not ready to write about it. I have started several posts and the attempt is just not going well, plus I am hip deep in other goals right this minute. My hope is to "bring solutions, not complaints." And justifications for the current status quo are just inherently problematic and a great way to provoke ugly reactions. But thank you for replying. I realize it involves sticking your neck out.
