Women need a room of their own. Women's groups tend to focus a lot on women's roles as mothers, or serving mothers. If there is going to be a woman-focused group it is best that the group is focused on women being people, not just parents that exist to serve others. Mothers are people too you know!

For some reason women are generally encouraged to do web design and javascript and in women's programming courses people hesitate to introduce meatier topics like go etc. I don't know why this is. Stuff is presented as being very "hard" even when the women present are math majors.

Stuff I've noticed Over the years

• Women often are made to feel guilty for doing stuff for the sheer intellectual pleasure of doing it.
• It is ok to not work in children's education
• It is ok not to do stuff for the benefit of charity
• Building yourself and your mind is the best thing you can do for society because then you are all that you can be
