    Who or what brought you to Tildes?

    I am brand new, I was lead here through a r/dataisbeautiful post about r/drama banning r/teenagers posters and revealing the amount of grown men harassing teens and faking being teens. Like I knew about the jailbait thing and in general the whole massive amount of online predators, but something about this one just hit a little harder. So in this comment chain on this awful post someone mentioned an alternative, and someone else was like it's the dude who made the AutoModerator. I clicked on links and sent an email and here I am, not 24 hrs later and really into it.

    What's the inspiration behind your username?

    In leaving Reddit I wanted to leave that one behind, TrixieLee is a better spelling of my OG handle back in the days of dialup and Barbie.com. One of my dad's bar buddies called me Trixie Lee growing up and my dad carried it on, probs to piss off mom and here I am dusting it off again.
    I haven't explored the site enough to make requests or suggestions yet but boy am I hype to here.

    I've been working on this print campaign for a while but it's just not coming together, it's like a massive admissions brochure for a private school - while they do have content up on the site I've also had to research and come up with the copy and track down images on ex employees desktops saved in their own weird folders. Makes me realize that I need to organize my files way better and looks like I've come up with my next project to keep my employed for a while - figuring out how they are going to manage and organize there photos.

    I'm also still in school - last semester finally - but this professor who is so so so disorganized and absentminded is teaching 3 of my 5 classes. For example, she failed me in a course last semester because she didn't remember who I was. Not only am doing the work but then also documenting that I did the work.

    To date she has never responded to an email. But she like to face time and text - and loves me when she remembers who I am.

    I do have the pleasure of taking a drawing class - and it's amazing. Honestly makes the politics worth it.

    I also haven't done my laundry in almost 3 weeks - down to bike shorts as underwear but still have 2 weeks of professional outfits and like 3 years non professional (I think I need to downsize my closet)

    That's this week! Let's hope the next is cleaner.

    Well now we are getting philosophical, or theoretical. One idea is that gender in general is a social construct - built by unspoken agreements and just understandings in their specific societies....

    Well now we are getting philosophical, or theoretical.
    One idea is that gender in general is a social construct - built by unspoken agreements and just understandings in their specific societies. So what is to be manly in America is different than being manly in Puerto Rico or Sweden or Papau New Guinea. Margaret Mead wrote this book, Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, in like the 30s (I read this almost 2 years ago now so deets may be fuzzy.) But basically one society she studied had women who were socialized to be agressive as part of their role as a woman - and the men were socialized to be meek and compliant.
    But that's just to say that maleness and femaleness aren't inherently one way or the other - society makes them so.
