#3: I take the inclusive view of feminism - that it is about ensuring equal rights for everyone regardless of gender or sexuality. Just as I would champion the right of a man to be on the cheerleading squad, I celebrate George Takei's union with his partner.

#1: They're clearly not professional pictures, but certainly I don't know the precise source.

#2: Absolutely I think that the major fundamental changes that need to be made are sociological. But simply "training women" isn't going to address that aspect either. In some ways, going back to feminism, I think the first key is for men to realize that there is actually a problem, and we're still at that stage, sadly. Changing the career path structure is a long-term solution.

#3: Ah. I didn't make the gay-marriage-rights connection. I guess it's a good thing that my brain doesn't even want to think this is an issue?

#2: I completely agree with you about the stupidity of the "training women" plan. Training men, now that might get us somewhere.
