Late Victorian Holocausts looks fascinating, thanks for bringing it up.

You're right. I overreacted out of frustration, but it's true that misogyny is not a necessary part of manhood, and that men can and should be educated out of it. We CAN hold them accountable, and we do need to, but I'm frustrated that it rarely happens. Most people seem to think that misogyny is not a big deal

How so? Misogyny is not inherent to being a man, but when men are surrounded by a culture that insists they're better than women by virtue of being men, they come to believe it

Men actually believe that they feel emotions more deeply and genuinely than women do. There's not a man alive who doesn't think women are beneath him.

The main cast of Eternal Punishment is adults, and although it suffers from making Maya a silent protagonist when she was such a dynamic character in Innocent Sin, the themes of self-discovery remain very much intact. As a follow-up to Innocent Sin, where high schoolers make heavy sacrifices for the sake of the world, Eternal Punishment shifts the perspective to adults who think, "those are just kids, they shouldn't have to deal with this." (i like persona 2)

I have a few bits of advice. Based on your mentions of schedule A and LiUNA, I'll assume you're on the US. My job is in IT but experiences might differ depending on your field.

Search for jobs on online job boards like Indeed, but apply through the company's website.

Check over your resume and cover letters for typos or misspellings. If you're a student right now, you can have your school's career center look over your resume and help you refine it. My resume sucks ass so I don't really have tips for making it good.

Note the requirements listed in the job description and write down how you fulfill each requirement. If they're looking for 3 years of experience with X, describe some of the projects you've worked on involving X and some things you've accomplished by using X. You don't want to read this out during the interview, but it's important to organize your thoughts ahead of time.

Don't mention your disability in your resume, cover letter, or elsewhere in your application. If possible, don't bring it up in the interview, either. (Some disabilities will be obvious to the interviewer, or you might need accomodations for the interview--in this case, you can't really avoid the interviewer knowing.)

If you really need a job now, apply for jobs you don't want as well as jobs you do.

I'm autistic as well and I had to keep reminding myself to talk more and elaborate on my answers in the interview. I also practiced facial expressions and behaving in a way that made me seem personable. Don't be yourself, be their ideal candidate.

Lie on your resume. Lie in the interview. Make yourself seem more competent and experienced than you actually are.

And finally, have the same favorite author as the hiring manager.

What I get from that is that they're transphobic but don't want to seem like it

People of all political affiliations are united in misogyny

My brother was involved in conservation efforts and as part of that he researched hellbenders. He wasn't allowed to say specifically where he went to look for them for fear that people would go bother them if they found out

I want to learn more about the history and government of the USSR. Obviously this is a very broad area but do you have recommendations for books on the topic?
