I think it’s great so many of you have apparently never had to consider racism or sexism in science.
I was just reminded that as recently as 60 years ago women were legally prohibited from opening a bank account in many places in America. As an example of sexism in society.
So, y’know. Progress. Eventually.
Everyone woman I know personally or have had the privilege to talk to about this topic has been raped and sexually assaulted including my mother, my grandmother, my wife, and my daughters.
I am not sure there really is progress anymore.
