I couldn't agree with you more. We need to step up and change the averages of this industry.
There will be many benefits if we do, for our society, for our industry, and for us too. In the meantime, you and I will be in the minority.
I was speaking a bit tongue in cheek about the lsd and sandals, but nevertheless believe we need to work hard to encourage a quilt of diversity: in style and scenes, approaches to the world and epistemology of learning, academic pursuit, politics, local business etc. I aimed to identify the low hanging fruit, where we're most of out to lunch. And the lack of women in our midst is certainly #1 on the list, imo.
