  Ok but, awful as this is, “you should consider it” is funny, ngl

    Yeah, it’s a sexist comment implying she isn’t either qualified to be at the conference, or mistaking her for a passerby who is unaffiliated, and should consider working there. Either way, I don’t find sexism funny. Dunno why anybody would, but hey, I’m just some guy on the internet, so you do you.

    I don’t think it’s that funny, just a sad defense for not being able to recognize that someone belongs at the conference instead of among the customer service staff.

      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 Why waste time even discussing such outdated attitudes that totally and completely disappeared in February and are certain to never return?!

      …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.

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

    Are you a woman? I’ve never met a woman who hasn’t had some experience with this. Sexism is everywhere, andnif you haven’t really experienced it, that’s bcz you’re a guy.

      Don’t know what the other comment was, but everyone has experienced sexism. It’s inevitable that inaccurate gender stereotypes will be applied to you at some time. For men it’s just the “stop emoting you fucking pussy” or “you suck at nurturing so don’t even try.”

      The patriarchy fucks us all.
