    I’ve heard of women who were pirate captains, ex-slaves who were pirate captains, gay pirate captains, and pirate captains of pretty much all races…

    …so yeah, pirates, surprisingly open work place.

    I think they were also known to attack privateers, who were state authorised pirates run by the monarchies and colonial governments of the world.
