Well, there are about a zillion of their videos on YouTube.

Yo...Stana<br />You were brought up as a boy in the 1960s<br />You were probably encouraged to like male things and steered away from female interests<br />Your wife would have had the opposite experience<br /> Lucy Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-7476597490688380312019-04-10T09:45:30.227-04:002019-04-10T09:45:30.227-04:00My experience of tech-y girls back in the late 195...My experience of tech-y girls back in the late 1950's was a couple girls who had dads who were very deep into their tech work AND both girls were only children. Both competed in our Science Fairs and did well. One went to Purdue in engineering and the other actually graduated early and was accepted to Goucher College (then a women's college). All of the other girls fit themselves into the "female role". The only other exceptions were girls who did well in math who were on the Academic Track, and they mostly played down their abilities, presumably to not put off the boys. There were a few Ham radio enthusiasts, all of them boys."Back in the day" schools were heavily tracked and movement out of the assigned track was almost impossible. Male/female role expectations were enforced.MikkiBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776593599337986303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-2723193000924122602019-04-10T06:20:33.383-04:002019-04-10T06:20:33.383-04:00Seeing that QST cover brought back memories. My ...Seeing that QST cover brought back memories. My Dad’s (W2GUZ) only hobby was ham radio – I still have a boxful call cards he was sent, and maybe I’ll make a display of them. As much as he wanted me to follow suit, I never got past my novice license (KN2APE). Maybe if I could have looked like the lady on the cover, or had more suitable call letters (KN2GAL??) things would have been different. Then again, if I could have looked like the QST cover, things would really have been different! 👧Claire Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12402400706731075152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-34913954566446472942019-04-09T18:10:06.758-04:002019-04-09T18:10:06.758-04:00HEAVENS TO MURGA-FREUD!

Antennas, firearms, knives, obelisks, tall buildings, trains, the list is endless.<br /> If one has doubts of the power of the SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, then you are literally 'flying blind'. Do consult the Freud Encyclopedia. The advertising execs and their art/photog departments know all about this phenom, and they know how to skillfully separate you from your $$$$.<br /> As for me, I drive 'stick', even in high heels ;-).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-11147266419807284072019-04-09T15:48:29.589-04:002019-04-09T15:48:29.589-04:00Not sure you answered her question, Stana, but it ...Not sure you answered her question, Stana, but it was a good answer anyway!<br /><br />See you next month.Caliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280127011882954777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-88177017352480454832019-04-09T13:51:23.642-04:002019-04-09T13:51:23.642-04:00um, it's been a while since I took biology.. b...um, it's been a while since I took biology.. but don't you have an XY body and an XX mind already?
