  • I wonder why women don’t normally take those kinds of jobs. Could it be that men have often made these kinds of jobs a “boys club,” forcing women to constantly prove themselves and deal with harassment so they feel unwelcomed? I mean, it couldn’t be that, even after women were allowed to do these jobs, they faced an uphill battle getting in, let alone being taken seriously. I mean, damn those women for not enlisting until it was legal (even though many women worked as spies, nurses, and even disguised themselves to fight, but whatever. ).

    Hear that women, we’re having fun. We’re just looking for comforts such as * reads notes * bodily autonomy and the privilege of, let’s see, ah yes, the privilege to talk about what issues we may be facing and to truly be seen as equal and not just “beta men.” Male political issues are well and good though. That’s not on the list, thank goodness🫂

    Not often I think, unless you read a lot of historical documents/letters. But even a lot of those are transcribed these days. So likely only people working with doctors (and even then, probably just specific medications). Outside of the data entry job, I don’t think it’s come up in my life outside of school.

    That’s true. But the chart was more like, “this is what cursive looks like” sort of thing. Like, some people couldn’t recognize a curve “G” or other “different” letters. But I’ve certainly seen some cursive that might as well have been an alien language 🤣

    I agree that it takes practice, but I wasn’t aware (until that job) that most people learned how to write their name only. I had to learn it when I was in 2nd or 3rd, then I kept it up because note taking was faster. But I don’t think it’s stopping anyone from doing anything unless you’re going through hand written docs all the time. Just surprised me at the time.

    When I worked data entry, there was a chart for cursive as people couldn’t understand cursive writing, and these were adults. I think this may check out (not because they’re lacking, but because they probably weren’t taught).
