While doing so, I again realized that most commentary and advice out there is for women - arguably because female academics tend to be under much more scrutiny in these matters.

Hello 1b, My name is Sergen, today I’d like to speak about the gun control in the United States. Gun control is difficult subject matter, and has many grey areas.
