It was a good article. I'm realizing I like working in mostly female environments, or at least at all girl's schools, better than mostly male dominated enviornments.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
t massive generalisation In predominantly female environments, someone or ones wants me to be their BFF. In male environments, I get to be the buddy. t /massive generalisation
No prize for guessing which one I prefer.

HA! That's one way of looking at it. But in the male dominated environments I have experienced(like the high school of my school) only 4 men talk during meetings and they are the only ones who get heard in decisions. In the elementary school here (all female) they use consensus (which is irritating to me personally) to make deicisons and it's harder but the workers are happier.

Every now and then, I get the urge to act superior. I am usually pretty quickly reminded how not, but honestly, it's fun for a few minutes there.

What is even happening?
I think expensive is associated with high-class. Not equated.And some of this is location and culture (subculture) dependent, I think. Some of the rattiest looking Yankees (in the New England sense, particularly Mainers) you'll ever see, are filthy rich, and live a spartan life.

With groups of women, I can feel like I missed something key when learning to socialise. Which I probably did, being raised in a mostly female family and going to all girls schools from age 11.
