“Yes, being in a female dominated field, I do know what it means to be marginalized. “
oh
my
god
omg
oh my fucking god
The really ugly part is they’ve actually done multiple sociological studies on this, and guess what the result is? Men in female-dominated fields aren’t marginalized at all; they get special treatment and are fast-tracked to the top, getting more credit for their work, faster promotions, and greater pay and benefits than their female colleagues.
I legit wrote up a whole thing about dwarf beards and the different types of braids (they have three distinct genders and some smaller variations of non-trinary genders that are less common but still recognized) and how the braids indicate like a whole host of things beyond gender including marital status, preferences of partner, and whether or not they wish to raise children with a potential mate, and it was awesome but then something happened and i lost it and i will be forever sad.
Conversely, elves did not know what A Gender fucking was until they met humans. They only have one pronoun, and it causes a lot of confusion to outsiders. This is why it’s hard to tell the difference between male and female elves – they don’t give a shit about separating the two.
This is so so cool. I love elves just, , not knowing what a gender is.
humans, meeting elves for the first time: are you… man or woman?
elf: i am elf?
human: no i mean what gender are you
elf: *gesturing wildly to themselves* elf???? ELF??
