Warning:
This is the blog of a feminist, and the content might shock you:
http://scienceblogs.com/thusspakezuska/2007/06/the_playing_field_will_never_b.php#moreHere is what piss me off:
If we have to believe feminists there is lots of hidden sexism against women in science.
However, it might be much easier to look at signs of sexism that aren't hidden:
Prizes in science that exclude males.
Giving priority to females in science.
Lots of talk of equality in the mainstream, but each time we learn that some animals are more equals than others.
People like Lawrence summers who are being fired for trying to bring any scientific debate using data instead of angry denial regarding to the issue of sex and science.
I suppose physicists will have to face anti-male bashing all their lives because this is a field where a 50/50 ratio isn't possible without a great cost of efficiency. So they will have to apologize over and over again for not being able to reach some quotas that would satisfy the narrow-minded resentment of some angry feminists, who write a lot about women and science, but who as women don't write about science!
That's all, I guess I just need to vent. Everywhere I go, I see prizes, money, scholarships reserved for women.
What happened to meritocracy? Are all universities into denial? Will I have to put my head in the sand too to avoid the angry mob? The cost of being an iconoclast is great.
