I wish I had known earlier

On December 6, 1989, 14 women were killed for being female engineering students. Since then, female enrollment in engineering and science programs has dropped in that country (Canada). There was an international day of rememberence in Canada for the dead, and I think that’s laudable.
Personally, I think it’s appalling that I didn’t know about that massacre, even though I am a woman who excelled in math and science and now works in a tech field. I hope I always remember the massacre. It’s proof that women can be killed for breaking into men’s professions, even here in the Western World.
If I seem cranky and angry lately, it’s probably because my health hasn’t been so great. Nothing like the constant irritation of poor health to make me peeved by things I could otherwise take in stride.
But then, is this stuff I should be able to take in stride?
