do other feminists?

After reading some stuff on how exam markers/recruiters discriminate based on perceived gender I feel like I've let my DC down.

DD does have a kind of strong sounding name but it's no Morgan.

Christ, 2011 seems like such an innocent time. I can’t imagine the joy of just feeling guilty that I’d given my DDs names that made examiners realise they were female, as opposed to havjng brought them into a world of #me too, rape trials, incel and self-id....

This is good about sex bias. Apparently even women have an unconscious bias against women:
