I'm mostly used to the maleness (I find this post amusing), but the all male + 75% conservative is wearing.

Almost anything I say is automatically bleeding heart liberal and hippie treehugger, even when it isn't.... You should stay.


By US standards I've turned into lefty-leaning liberal snowflake.
By UK standards I'm a Maggie-worshipping Tory.
Go figure

I'd probably have to live in Oregon or somewhere if we ever went back. But it's miserable and rainy there, so what's the point?
