      I always thought it was amazing that I got to know a few relatively conservative women at Stanford given how few there are statistically speaking. To run that gauntlet and not come out a complete liberal is impressive.

      My Stanford PhD sister was always, always the Progressive’s Progressive.  She used to have an interesting interpretation of Marx’s “From-each-according-to-his-ability, to-each-according-to-their-need” slogan.  Her twist was that ability in that context should also be infused with inclination.

      In other words, as she once told me, she should get paid the same amount for working 20 hours a week that I got paid for working 60 hours a week “because working’s your thing, man, it’s not my thing.” Direct quote.

      Of course, these days, she’s employed her Stanford PhD to make some decent money, and she’s watching how much she’s paying in taxes, and — naturally — feels that she’s paying too much.

      So your sister is a closet conservative? 🙂

      I would say she is a partially-out-of-the-closet conservative.  Definitely a social progressive but with conservative financial leanings.
