All of this, and it's not just the sciences. There's a reason I'm not getting back on line to do academia the way I'm supposed to, and it's not just because I'm an impatient sod. It's because the rules of the game are cruel and stacked and center on a sort of gender-policing I can neither pass nor endure.
I have heard male tenured professors say in one breath that their female students are always better than their male students and say in the next "if doesn't want to fuck me, why is she in my class?"
It's a big bucket of no thank you, and I admire the women in my life who are getting their PhDs from reasonably sane departments where they aren't being subjected to this sort of shit. But it's out there, and we all know it.
