Emotions: They're Actually Crucial To Making Good... →
stfusexists:
This article was sent to me by mollymillions. It’s a pretty good article that points out that even if we were to buy into the stereotype that all women are more emotional than all men, being emotional does not actual hinder decision-making.

I’d really like to visit Norway again.

Ha! Glad this got found, I was so bummed it didn’t get allowed online. Oh, the law. Anyway, holy shit this feels like a long time ago.
