We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. If everyone seeing this today donates $5, we will meet our goal for 2019. |

I actually learned paranoia by trying to be an academic in the early 90s. despite all the "women are equal" crap, I was never taken seriously in our Native-L list serve comments, till I started going by T. Lastname, instead of Tanya Lastname.
I changed my online presence at that time to "Kip" which was gender unspecific, and people actually took me more seriously.
Even here, I didn't ID as female for maybe 2 or 3 months. how's that for paranoid.
