You know what you almost never see in a survey? A 100 percent agreement rate. It just doesn't happen, unless the sample size is like six ten-year-old boys and the question is "do you find fake fart noises amusing?" And even then you might get one outlier who insists that burps are way funnier. So
I was once pretty much promised a sciency job in grad school until a man who "had to support a family" applied. That is exactly what I was told. And I'm white! I can sympathize with the women spoken of her--it is probably worse for them.
One place I worked, a male board member thought he had an idea during one meeting, and tried explaining it to an engineer co-worker of mine as "It's like a make- up compact!". She almost rolled her eyes out of their sockets.
Sometimes it works in my favor. When my first niece was born, and relatives other than immediate family weren't allowed in, I just put on a lab coat, grabbed a clipboard and walked right in without anyone stopping me.
Hey, I'm glad you're here to mop up this puddle of truth that got spilled all over my computer screen. Wait, you're not the janitor? Sorry. You look so much like one, I'm sure you get mistaken for one all the time.
Disqus is dangerous. I am a horrible person. Especially when I am mad, which I become when white men minimize sexism and racism. Can't even snark. You should probably ban me.

And that's why I love working for Planned Parenthood, the only dude in my office is the very white janitor;-)
I know! It's scary.
"IT" = ?
ISTR Crick at least was good about acknowledging Franklin's contributions after-the-fact; it's Watson who's been an all-around jackass.
See how confusing gay marriage can be?
Oh wait...

True story- a place I worked, I asked the interviewee who he had seen so far.
"Uh, Ken, Roman, Gerry, Ian, Clarence and uh, your female engineer. What was her name? Judy? Jackie?"
He didn't get the job.

your avatar is divine.
I got into science specifically to avoid cubicle life. Good to hear you escaped as well!
I didn't realize Scott Adams is such a dickhead.
