Just don't keel over from a heart attack cuz of it please. <br /><br />The kicker at my workplace is the focus on assimilation. We do online training sessions about diversity, with no mention of privilege, but slide after slide about assimilation. Do Not Force Women and Minority Men To Assimilate. Take your quiz and get your certificate after all that learning. So what happens? The old white dudes hire more white dudes, and definitely DO NOT have to "worry" about assimilation! They hire dudes cut from the same cloth!

I do agree that women without kids in academia have the great advantage of not having too many promotions to worry about (one to Associate Prof, one to tenured prof - often at the same time as Associate Prof - and one to Full Prof.)<br /><br />Academia is a job that can easily take over your life, and I do feel that women who need to pick up their kids from daycare are frowned upon in some places because they have to cancel research meetings if their kid is sick, can't stay late etc. In my observations, they do finish the job once the kid is in bed, but it's easy for people to make (wrong) assumptions.<br /><br />The other issue is that a lot of academics in science and engineering need grants to keep their lab running, and I think white males tend to invite each other more often to collaborate on grants but women are more likely to be left out.Aureliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14038095725480635509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789440268562059889.post-12275170951069769322010-09-06T12:17:18.176-07:002010-09-06T12:17:18.176-07:00Sorry to link to Dansdata AGAIN, but today's p...Sorry to link to Dansdata AGAIN, but today's post might cause your safety valve to burst: <br /><br />http://dansdata.blogsome.com/2010/09/04/psychoacoustics-again-again-and-again/<br /><br />In summary: Trained musicians thought that formally dressed women played better, despite the audio being identical; classical orchestra's female representation increased when auditions were behind a screen.FatBigotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789440268562059889.post-34993431597103196452010-09-06T11:07:55.097-07:002010-09-06T11:07:55.097-07:00Awesome post!

I am in a techical field (...Great post, FrauTech! <br /><br />I am in a techical field (border of physics/electrical engineering) where women are severely underrepresented, but I have never worked in industry. The situations you describe sound really terrible... In academia, I think once you are hired you no longer have a boss, so many of the day-to-day supervisor/supervisee issues you describe, which can result in firing, are not there. It looks like I should really count my blessings that I have the job I do...<br /><br />It seems to me that for every educated woman who does decide to leave in order to have a family, the powers that be feel more entitled to stifle the careers of 50 other women on the basis of "not worth consideration/promotion for reasons of possessing and potentially using a uterus". <br /><br />I have been visiting your site intermittently, but I think I have officially become a fan. Keep up the good work!GMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872461021953583473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789440268562059889.post-5899135222181284692010-09-05T11:11:14.886-07:002010-09-05T11:11:14.886-07:00I'm in the 1% club too.

I was so mad after reading that link so I am going to assume you meant with your post that you don't agree on the "whining".... since that is what I agree with. That it is something else, and not whining...)<br /><br />I think what makes me most sad tonight though is that I have realized how many of my fellow female grad student collegues who are now in a part time job with nothing to do with the graduate degree.... which means that they are now on the "why do we let women go through grad school if they are not going to use it" even though there might be more to it than that. but still, they are (uninentionally but still) making the argument that I am probably going to go to part time and therefore I shouldn't get that promotion since I will "probably" be home raising those babies for my babies daddy... if I ever have children that is. sometimes I long to be 45+ and be able to say "clearly no children, give me the effing job alright?!")<br /><br />sorry about the rant. sore subject. and I am tired of my boobs ;)challhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10421219663804628119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789440268562059889.post-18885840294815660522010-09-04T20:00:04.523-07:002010-09-04T20:00:04.523-07:00Amen, sister!Amen, sister!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927630155994067676noreply@blogger.com
