Going to vent or whatever a bit more. About my anecdote. Just because I need.
These relatives have a brilliant, driven 19yo daughter who has just started her second year of biomedical engineering, who has also been pre accepted into into a medicine program after undergrad. I asked her mother yesterday (the person who asked about the moment of silence) what she thought charlie would have thought about that - because we know what he would say:
-that she was DEI, and taking the place of a more qualified student (male).
- that she should be going to Mrs school, because all she really wants (or should be doing) is finding a husband and having white babies - and she should learn to do this properly.
- that when she becomes a doctor, someone like charlie will expect she is not qualified because she is a women
What I cannot understand is the incredible disconnect from reality. And that's the part that leaves me lacking hope for the immediate future.
