So delightful to talk with @amiesouzareilly.bsky.social about her intricate debut!

Brevity / Dinty W. Moore@dintywmoore.bsky.social · last yr.

There is a value to writing traumatic experiences right away, to catch that intensity and rawness... However, for this project, time and space allowed me to zoom out and see that what happened to us was not an isolated incident... ~ @amiesouzareilly.bsky.social brevity.wordpress.com/2025/06/13/l...

great article about the devaluation of absolutely anything where women achieve 50%. which is a thing.

screenshot from the article:

Other disciplines that have experienced male flight include:

Biology. While most STEM professions remain male dominated, 10 years ago biology became a 50/50 male/female split. By 2022, 62% of biology majors were women. Biology is now often considered the “easiest” of the STEM majors.

Interior Design. William Morris is considered the father of interior design. After finishing his education at Oxford, he began an architectural design school called “the Firm”— just for men. Many universities had interior design programs. Until women began to enter the design space, at which point it was relegated to a mere “hobby.” Since the influx of women, interior design programs have been pulled from almost all universities.

Teaching. In the 18th century, schooling in colonial America was reserved for the white and the wealthy. Most tutors were men who taught boys. By the middle of the 19th century, girls started becoming students and women became teachers. Consequently, men swiftly left the profession, the pay dropped and teaching was no longer considered a prestigious occupation.

Similar patterns of male flight have occurred in nursing, cheerleading, social work, architecture, gymnastics, library sciences and psychology.

It's not just in regard to college enrollment that we don't talk about misogyny, it's pretty much everything. Many of us bloggers talked about Dobbs and the fury of women during the runup to the election. There was much less in the news and practically no notice in the polls.
