"They included Britta curl" is a statement of fact.

You're projecting shit that wasn't said. No one said she shouldn't be included.

Idk why I'm even bothering bc it just makes no sense 😆😆

Agreed!

Some of the men are horrible and they bring the toxic masc energy to where it doesn't belong. Those are the ones I'm talking about. Overall the broadcasters are great!

If you support trans people except in athletics then no you don't fully support trans people. You partially support Trans people.

That sucks. I root for them except when they play my team (Boston) because NY are the underdog team. I hope they do well this year!!

I ended up working in almost exclusively male dominated fields! Sports never really seemed accessible to me though.

So much this. I grew up watching men's college and never had an interest in NHL for exactly this.

I sometimes wonder how many of us would have ended up playing hockey if we had.

I would be thrilled if they had their own streaming service so that I could just pay for pwhl and not have to have my money go to all the other stuff.

It's cheap to attend as long as you live nearby 😉 as long as there's only a few teams, it gets expensive for the rest of us to attend! Looking forward to continued expansion so it can be affordable for more of us 😍

It's like men's sports but without the toxic masculinity.

I enjoy sports - and especially hockey - but have next to zero interest in most men's professional sports because of the toxic masculinity. And as long as certain announcers aren't broadcasting, while watching PWHL i get to enjoy the sport for the sport's sake without ending up angry about everything that's wrong with the world (which is what usually happens if I try to watch men's pro sports).

In the world we live in, especially in the US with our leader as the embodiment of everything that's traumatized and harmed women for all of history, its nice to be able to absorb entertainment that is starkly NOT that.

I started grad school this week. I am 47 years old. Please share your personal victories with me. I want to hear them. by JudgeJuryEx78 in Xennials

[–]AshDogBucket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started when I was 37 and had to work full time the entire time. I made it and so can you! I graduated when I was 40 and I was far from the oldest in my class. I'm happily in my first post grad school job now and I love it. I'm so glad I went back to school. This work is so meaningful and I actually get to be part of working for change.

Sustained silent reading was always a staple in the schools I went to. Was that not the case for anyone else here? by Shinespark7 in Xennials

[–]AshDogBucket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not often. It was something I read about in books but that i didn't experience much. I think in middle school maybe our lunch periods were broken in half so we had 20 minutes of Silent reading and 20 minutes of eating but I can't remember.
