This is so cool. I run workshops and a component is gender stereotypes and our roles in society. A colleague told dme that women’s and girls archery is on the rise since The Hunger Games became popular and that animated movie Brave. I wonder how many more examples there are. What about men’s examples?

It does not speak well for women if they need a film to get them interested in science and technology.

Gillian Anderson is sublime. Beautiful beyond measure, intelligent, kind-hearted and such an amazing actress.
