interesting. i'd like to know more about what she found out.

as far as internalizing stereotypes? i don't think i ever thought i was part of some stereotype. i've had experiences where people tried to peg me as such with ignorant shit like, "you're good at math, right? let mojo figure out the lunch tab and what everybody owes." sorry, that ain't me.

and in regard to career choices? hell, i didn't know what i wanted to do. in fact, i fell into my job, i didn't seek out a career in law enforcement.
