If by aggressive you mean frequent, it’s true. I try to post frequently on this thread to keep up the interest and the post count. In four years of posting, neither boy has been confronted by my posts. My CC friends know me well --some IRL. My CC friends have been invaluable in their advice regarding my son’s academic pursuits (non-architectural).

I post frequently because I wonder if something like this forum could be a better agent for institutional change. It’s possible that some sexist aspects of the profession could be changed via wider discussion on the internet–between the generations. I’m hoping some of the female students get to school and question why the majority of student publications are devoted to male work, why the school lecture series is mostly populated by male architects etc etc.

Hopefully, my advice will assist other young students get into lead design positions and practice ownership–esp female architects. Time will tell. The kids will have to get back to me and let me know.
