I'm guessing that the upshot of this chart is that there are even fewer decent female characters than I'd thought, and Zoe isn't one of them. However, I'm assuming there are very few decent male characters too, because the bar is damned high. This makes the field look less sexist to me, not more. Just makes writing look like crap.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aw, that's too bad.

Sean, no one has called you an asshole. I can only speak for myself, but you have caused no lingering offense, and I would hate to see you feel wounded over a passing conversation.
I suspect that the continuing discussion about titles has more to do with the way we tend to dissect language and social custom here at b.org. I don't know that we've discussed this one before.

Most of my students address me as "Professor" (no last name there, just Professor), even though I'm not actually a professor. I usually don't say anything, mostly because explaining to them that I'm not a professor would take too much time. I introduce myself and sign all my class emails as Dr. LastName, but I think most of them can't figure out how to pronounce my last name, so they just go with Professor. There are a few who've started calling me Dr. LastInitial, and I'm fine with that.

I thought you had a tenure-track position, Hil. Is that not the case?

Nope, I'm a lecturer.

Oy vey. I just had to potentially start something on Facebook. Really sad story -- I guess someone one of my contacts knows was killed by a hit and run driver. But he says she was killed by some "foreigner," someone else responds he was probably illegal... But I saw a TV story where they actually talked to the guy and he sounds 100% local. So I had to mention it. Because come ON.

Okay, I know people take their cosplay seriously, and some of the results are excellent, but $4K, seriously? My mind, she is naive and blown. Because that's just the dosh, not the work.
