"We do too much helping men get ahead." I guess we think it is going to be reciprocated across the board?

I'd like to learn more tech too--I majored in art, but the technology for things like 3-D printers seems to be getting more accessible. Some of the computer design programs look kind of challenging, but I taught myself inDesign for another project last year, so maybe I'm not totally out of luck yet.

I'm sorry about your cousins! That would be stressful. Some guys might like a woman who doesn't challenge his abilities, but I think that is getting more rare.
