From ieee
Female IEEE members say they face significant discrimination in the workplace, including demeaning comments, inappropriate job-interview questions, and exclusion from networking events and important business meetings.
Those were among the most common negative experiences reported by more than 4,500 members—associate member grade and above—from around the world who answered a survey IEEE conducted in 2017. The results were released last year.
Almost half of those surveyed worked in academia, and about 30 percent were from private industry. The rest worked for governmental or nonprofit institutions, or were graduate students or self-employed. The majority of respondents (65 percent) lived outside the United States.

Mules are born sterile. They may have penises that drag on the ground, but they can't do much with them.

"Animal husbandry" does not mean what you think it means, Runaway. Maybe the mule just wasn't that into you.

You must be Catholic if you think a penis can only be used to procreate.
