But as I started to edit on Sunday evening, I realized I honestly got everything I needed out of the conversations that I had with Professor Sinkowitz and with Q and Aaron parts one two and three and I decided or realized

1:18.6

rather with the help of a good friend that while I address some of the issues of these spaces being just as male

1:26.2

dominated I didn't address it with the voice of women so in my own way of pointing out the problem, I was exacerbating the problem.

1:36.2

And so Wendy Muse, let me start by saying this.

1:40.4

There's rarely been something that I have said that I don't go back later and see that the women I generally hang with have said already and when I say hang I mean online
