Thanx to Making Light.

Thanx to The Sideshow.

I hope this works

Beginning a science course with an exercise in which one writes about one's own values helps people think of themselves as individuals with abilities rather than [member of group that can't do this sort of thing]. It's helped black people, and now it's helping women. Smash collectivism!

Thanx to Geek Feminism.
