    But surely equality has been achieved in the last few months, this all feels so very January. People are so much more open minded now than in those dark days of the past. Why waste time even discussing such outdated attitudes that totally and completely disappeared in February and are certain to never return?!

      My bad for not being in circles where this behavior was common the last 20 years i guess?

        I’ve certainly been there, shocked to realise my personal slice of reality was unusual. At least in this case, it’s a good problem to have.

        When people talk about privilege and checking it, doing that before your other comment is what they are talking about.

    …the dissertation. Which means years of being at a university, though granted it’s unlikely to be 25.

    Feminist Hacker Barbie is the proper meme response to that and that’s 2014/15, but chuds tend to live under rocks so that might explain it.

    It’s all in the wording, but I think it’s also the contradiction between the first and second/third sentences.

    Yes yes, intelligent woman be intimidating to some people.

    Acknowledges that intelligent women are intimidating to some. It also uses present tense, which implies the author knows this is still the case.

    But how old is this, is it still that bad? The “computer girl” could be around 2000.

    Ah “it”. Which it? That some people are intimidated by intelligent women or that the author encountered a ton of sexism?

    I think it’s ok to ask how prevalent sexism still is these days, especially if you personally experience it / don’t participate in a field dominated by the opposite gender.

    Something like “I thought society would have finally realized this behavior wasn’t appropriate after me too, is that not the case?” sounds less tone deaf.

        Ha, I mentally skipped the second yes. Agree, add that to the list.

  You think old men in academia are up to date on their misogyny? Why?
