You COULD always interview her by Zoom, you know ... Maybe even in your monthly (?) Zoom chats so other "faithful" readers could ask a "pointed" question or two? Apropos of which, you might take a close look at that Welcome post of hers and at my comment there as well, and at others in several of her other posts:

Big part of the problem with feminism in general, which she has more or less danced around without actually confronting it, is various contradictory premises that, as she Herself put it, has reduced "most of contemporary feminism to risible absurdity".

But apropos of which, and of I think your rather too quick dismissal of "advanced math" which covers a lot of ground, you might give some consideration to George Boole's "The Laws of Thought" -- more or less the foundation of Boolean logic and the whole edifice created by digital computers -- particularly since one of your claims to fame and fortune is, if I'm not mistaken, apparently a championing of critical thinking:

A tough slog -- at least I find it so -- though not least because of its 19th century English. But, maybe arguably, such laws are part and parcel of that "advanced math" of yours, and a large reason for that "risible absurdity" that she is, supposedly, grappling with. Another bit of "advanced math" that you both might give some consideration to, though it's not like the principle hasn't been around for some 900 years:

“In classical logic, intuitionistic logic, and similar logical systems, the principle of explosion is the law according to which any statement can be proven from a contradiction. That is, from a contradiction, any proposition (including its negation) can be inferred; this is known as deductive explosion.

Latin: ex falso [sequitur] quodlibet, 'from falsehood, anything [follows]'; or ex contradictione [sequitur] quodlibet, 'from contradiction, anything [follows]'.”
