Many years ago my website had a stats page that showed the gender of sparkleball.com visitors. That sounded kind of bogus to me then, that the algorithms were that smart , but the stats were intriguing. Readership was exactly 50/50 male and female. Then Joni wrote. She was an arts teacher in Scotland who used sparkleballs as a craft in her classes for at-risk teenage boys. It was their favorite craft activity, she said, and coming up with crafts the boys liked hadn’t been easy. So her boys liked a craft that was equally popular with girls! Of course, today anyone can do anything. Men crochet. Women weld. And there are 56 different genders on Facebook. But I like equality, and equality is what 50/50 means to me. Welcome all.
