    Thank you, that’s decent of you. I get comments like that a lot and I have never had someone respond with an apology. There are also definite cases of employer discrimination that affect these statistics in more or less subtle ways, too- we know for a fact it took us longer to get any calls back because we didn’t have a car even though we live in a metro area, and that my wife has a deep voice that people get really shitty about. Both of those things lead to her getting passed over, in our experience anyway. When I was a younger guy it would have been super easy for me, but I am not either of those things anymore too, lol.

      That’s kind of you to say, but I was clearly i the wrong based off assumptions I made based on myself and my privilege, I have able bodied, if not able minded privilege.

      For what it’s worth, I truly do regret that comment. I was bitter about all the office workers complaining about how the economy is finally hard for them too because it’s always been hard for people without that access. It led to me punching towards a comrade. Th
