Still on a feminist rant

I'm still annoyed about the Nature paper. I've read it. I got Mr Bob and a labmate to read it. I've gone through the experimental again. We've discussed various bias factors.

It still comes down to sexist, f%ing jerks! And you know, I've got it somewhat easy. It shouldn't be so bad. Science and scientific output is (at least somewhat)quantifiable. You write papers in specific journals and people read those papers and reference them. I don't understand how people have skewed ideas.

So now I will rant on behalf of all women who can't find a nice quantifiable paper to tell them they are undervalued and 5 times smarter than the world thinks they are. It's so stupidly unfair. It's worse in business and softer professions.

You know what's worst?

I believe half this stuff as well. When a woman talks, I'll pay attention to her clothes. When I see a Chinese name, I'll skip the talk or devalue the paper.

OK, off to write a research proposal and get myself a prof job on the coat tails of my husband.

To all women reading this, you are smarter than most people (even you) think you are, so go do something clever.
