AnneWimsey replies on Dec 19, 2018:

@ForesterJenny no, very very few as Nuclear submarine hands-on builders...lots of female clerical (much lower pay!) support staff, of course. I myself, before they hired women there, worked 3 part-time jobs, waitress/bartender. Altho I made good money, not one of them had benefits, such as vacations, of course no insurance or retirement. All I did was change uniforms & drive from one to the other, I had to live at home as a single mother as my young child needed care, and I worked crazy hours. When I heard EB was hiring women, I got down there in a heartbeat. 3 months later I had my own place, a new car, health benefits, normal 40-hour day hours with (gasp!) Overtime and regular raises! While dirty & sometimes dangerous, the work was no more physically demanding than working in a cotton mill or pants-manufacturing sweatshop, or even bartending like I had done before. Absolute Heaven!

Better to get vital work done than be venerated as a "hero" because you got caught...and therefore can resist no more.

@maturin1919 ASSumptions do not flatter anyone. I have been divorced twice, the lat one not what I wanted, after 33years of marriage. What exactly do I not understand, according to you? I just love when they ask for advice, then nastily disrespect me....how about the rest of you?

Basic biology. Hunters have bigger brains/ intelligence than herbivous because you need smarts to hunt if you want to survive, the ability to learn. Our teeth and gut bacteria are designed for consuming meat. We eat both. We are omnivores.

@David1955 freshly killed meat/fish is not only delicious raw, but packed with nutrients that are killed by cooking. Sushi or steak tartare, anyone?
