My wife is not and she's a social justice warrior feminist and outspoken LGBQT+ ally too.

Her employers over the years have sometimes come courting her just to pad out their own "diversity statements.".

Unfortunately they didn't always like what they got, once she'd start banging heads with the good old boys at the top.

There are always good old boys at the top. This is the U.S.A..

My wife is still teaching, it's her favorite job in the world and her calling, but teaching is not her full time job.

Whatever you do, you do not want to be or pretend to be this guy:

You're never going to be a Toruk Makto.

It ruins the whole fucking movie.

Be humble.
