  I honestly have to pretend that sexism in STEM is nowhere near as bad as I know it is for the sake of my own mental health. I’ve heard incredible stories of blatant sexism from colleagues and friends that I just can’t fathom

    I’ve had to defend a close friend from repeated advances and touching, she was an engineer, he was 40 years older than her. It’s a problem. I’ve had good friends get taken advantage of by a PI. Gross. It’s the power dynamic in academia too where one person controls the career outcome of the PhD student. It’s really nuts out there. It’s getting better but that takes time and awareness.

    Is the individual context not that in STEM women often face sexism, not something else?

      Do you think that the Prime Ministers wife is less privileged than the Romanian miner? How would you address the discrepancy with the group prescription?

        No, no one things that, because part of the context there is that one of the people is married to a head of state, and one is a coal miner

        Do you think STEM women don’t face sexism? Address what I said, not something else.

    Lmao guck off you debate pervert

    You don’t get to say a bunch of dumb shit then pose one thought terminating question to try to pigeonhole somebody into saying you’re technically not wrong on this one thing (even though you are) and refusing to engage with the dozens of people whonare explaining to you why you’re wrong about pretty much everything.

      I have no issue being wrong, and I haven’t refused to engage with anyone on anything, and no one has explained anything that I haven’t addressed so thats a lie. Unlike a teenage edgelord, I’m willing to accept that I don’t know everything and I’m open to learning something. But when people start rattling off that certain groups of people are superior or inferior to justify the scapegoating of their problems because they came to that conclusion after watching other people do it, it merits further clarification.

        Then just be wrong and shut the fuck up and stop insisting you aren’t wrong when 20 other people are showing you way more patience than you deserve in explaining the myriad of reas9ns you’re wrong.
