Half of all scientists stop publishing after 10 years, with women more likely to leave than men, especially for biologists: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03222-7 #nature #science #sciencecareers #sexism
Women have only been recognised as farmers in Australia for 30 years.
""Women's work on farms was not counted because we weren't considered farmers," said Ms Johnson, a fifth-generation farmer from Victoria's north east.
On farm documents, women were referred to as "non-productive" silent partners, according to fellow rebel Anna Lottkowitz, who was the Victorian agriculture department's first female beef officer."
In a psych lecture about cross-cultural and Indigenous psychology, and there's a white man (fellow student) taking up all the time to talk about how hard it is to be stereotyped.
Dude, you're giving endless examples of how the white man stereotypes are correct.

@Troggie good thing there are no #womenInTech developing #AI who might be offended that you cast such a broad generalization about them
It's always such a giveaway that they mention parents before disabled people.
Disabled people aren't important enough, but abled parents OTOH...
My university and the professional societies I belong/ed to all rushed to push back on online options as soon as abled people felt they didn't need them and were content for things to remain inaccessible and dangerous for disabled people.

Ein letzter Gedanke zu dieser unsäglichen un_partei #fdp unter #lindner: es sind vor allem #frauen die auf Gehwegen weite Wege laufen, tragen, schieben, schleppen & schlendern.. Wenn FußgängerInnen wegen #auto weiter zurück gedrängt werden sollen, zeigt das neben #grünenhass auch den #frauenhass und die #toxischemannlichkeit dieser gurkentruppe in der #ampel. #verkehrswende #GewaltgegenFrau #misogynie #trumpism #sexism #patriarchat #männerwelten #privilege #suv
About sex segregation in sports...
[Note: here "women" and "men" can be read as "cis women" and "cis men," but usually when I talk about women and men I mean all of them, cis, trans, nonbinary, and more.]
Despite what some people say, sex segregation in sports is NOT for the protection of women's health. Women are not that fragile.
Sex segregation in sports is for the protection of men's egos, which are that fragile.
We don't know women's true capabilities at the current moment. We are barely beginning to emerge from a long period of enforced ignorance about women's capacity for strength and athletic achievement. Example number one million or so:
For decades, the idea that “lighter is faster,” was the reigning mythology passed on by most track coaches when it came to conditioning, especially to endurance athletes. Coaches would encourage young female runners, who often have higher body …

For decades, the idea that “lighter is faster,” was the reigning mythology passed on by most track coaches when it came to conditioning, especially to endurance athletes. Coaches would encourage young female runners, who often have higher body fat percentages than their male counterparts, to lose weight to improve performance.
Today, many women runners are flipping the script. They’re discovering how dangerous undernourishment can be – including the risks of disordered eating – and are seeking out coaching that supports proper fueling. The old model of coaching for thinness is gradually giving way to an emphasis on strength and stamina.
Undernourishment by athletes competing at high levels can have a number of bad health effects; one of them is bone micro-fractures. I have seen TERFs citing the prevalence of micro-fractures among women athletes as proof that women need protection from competing with men--but in reality it's evidence that women in sports are being systematically discouraged from adequately nourishing themselves.
Until sexism is eradicated, nobody can make any blanket statements about women's capacity for athletic achievement.

Cry biggots, cry...
Despite massive sexist and racist attacks against her, she won the gold medal at Olympics.
Congratulations to her for not giving up and showing the world how strong women fight back against bigotry and hate.
PS. I don't see any of those vocal "woman-life-freedom" folk posting anything in support of her.

#Republican VP nom Sen #JDVance has a history of making disparaging remarks toward people w/o children, a CNN KFile review of his comments shows, including #fundraising off his infamous #ChildlessCatLadies remarks in a series of emails that called Democratic leaders “#ChildlessSociopaths” who “don’t have a direct stake in this country.”
