But the press didn't show that.
Just like they did after WW II, pretending that all the superheroes who were women went "home".
Adapt. Because change is coming regardless.

oh, wait, no, those were just account stealing gold pirates and people using bots.
God those are so annoying.
Way to go, Blizz!
I see you didn't read 2.
There are measures for each of these, but each is controlled by a different set of actors.
But hey, let's have a long discussion and not invite the people that actually need to change to it, that will work.
Imagine this.
You're in an automated car, driving home from a party.
Patch Tuesday rolls up and it's a bad one. 30 patches, which if all applied at the same time will brick your car for 30 minutes and reboot 5 times.
You're on a cliff road and the car is at the speed limit.
Do you wish you had windows now?
What it tends to come down to are three things:
1. Can you get published? Especially in top rated journals.
2. Can you become tenure faculty with research grants. Saying you'll increase it by 10 percent when it's only 1 percent means it's now 1.1 percent.
3. Can you get awards?
I've seen more change occur due to the above three focii than the other stuff, but then I work in a mostly female branch of science (which didn't used to be so, that happened quite recently).
I'm hoping that the same will occur with my intended new field (engineering) as well. There is no reason why it can't.
And my mom lives on the other side of the continent.
Think about it.
So, in short, similar to nail salon workers or shrimping boat workers.

The moral is get your mitts off of my personal thoughts on my encrypted laptop and cell phone!
Can you scan it for hazards? Sure.
Can you ask me to turn it on? Sure.
Can you ask me to unlock the encrypted device? NO!
So long as an American citizen is travelling within the US, even if by air, there is no justification for any search or seizure of his or her personal documents, thoughts, or even religion.
My laptop may contain personal information, and only with a specific court order by a judge (not a blanket warrant for "all Americans") can they force us to reveal our personal data or thoughts.
It doesn't matter what their excuse is.
Can they scan it for potential hazards, or ask us to turn it on to "prove" it is not a hazard?
Sure.
But that is all the Gestapo can do.
Force me into an OS and you're dead to me.
Even an OS stolen from CP/M.
You're saying Wallingford isn't middle class? How do you work that out?
You can afford $1 million for a house on a median wage of $40,000 for a family?
I see. And is this with or without the imaginary unicorn garden?
It's not families.
It's people.
People are migrating here, and will migrate here, for many reasons: good wages, good minimum wage, no state income tax, no state capital gains tax (except houses above $1 million), we have water (somewhat), we have a green city, and we have top level education that most can afford.
And we have a lot of tech and other jobs being created all the time.
