I go for criminally ignorant on this one. They don’t seem to know enough to be intentionally cruel.

I’m okay with “Ma’am”; to me, it’s a truncated slang version of “Empress”.

Suggestion: Instead of deleting their humiliating bot call out, perhaps fix their wage gap.

They, like just about everyone else, got the info on corsets wrong.
Hmmm, I grew up reading science-fiction - my whole family read it - but I never got into Asimov’s work, except for a few short stories. Mom didn’t either; she preferred Ursula K. LeGuin and especially Anne McCaffrey. But my dad and brother were nuts about his work.
Me, I liked Ray Bradbury, Jack L. Chalker (a lot!), and Piers Anthony, as well as Madeline L’Engle.

There is an annual international Rosa Luxemburg conference!
I know this because the nephew (in his 40’s, not a kid) of friends of mine is a Luxemburg researcher, has written a number of books on her work, and stayed with me one year when the conference was in the States (he was coming from Germany).
I can’t say how her work fares in relation to other philosophers in academia, but at least I can verify that she is not entirely forgotten!
