Someone has remarked that 'An ideal math talk should have one proof and one joke and they should not be the same'.
You haven’t experienced awkwardness until you’ve seen a three-million-dollar piece of software cry.
If I could be half the person my dog is, I'd be twice the human I am.

Young women know that something is off; they know that the world is a messed-up place. They know that the world is a sexist place because they've had experiences in their own life; they see things happening to their friends, to their parents. But because feminism isn't widely accepted, because they don't necessarily have access to feminist thought or to feminist groups, they don't necessarily have a language to put behind the feelings and the thoughts that they're having. And they certainly don't have a support system to let them know like, hey, that's okay; you're right, that is screwed up.
