I predict millions of cat ladies in the near future.
Gives new meaning to the Periodic Table.
… while conservatives are outnumbered 20-1, and lefties reject the idea that pervasive discrimination is the problem ….
Science doesn’t harass. OH, they mean SCIENTISTS!
Words have meanings.
But they know what they are doing. This is to force companies to hire anyone but straight White normal males.
Math & physics do not change.
2 + 2 needs to equal 17.
>>But when the entire scientific training system is based on huge power imbalances between professors and trainees
Is a trainee like an intern?

“High profile cases — such as decades’ worth of complaints against astronomer Geoff Marcy, and allegations that geologist David Marchant verbally and physically abused women scientists in Antarctica — make headlines.”
Disturbing allegations of sexual harassment in Antarctica leveled at noted scientist
By Meredith Wadman

Editor’s note: This article includes crude language and disturbing details.
Boston University (BU) is investigating sexual harassment complaints made against a prominent Antarctic geologist by two of his former graduate students.
The women allege that David Marchant, then an assistant professor, harassed them during different research expeditions starting 2 decades ago, while they were isolated in small groups in the Antarctic.
In supporting documents and interviews, several other women report similar treatment from Marchant in that period.
The first complainant, Jane Willenbring, now an associate professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, part of the University of California, San Diego, alleges that Marchant repeatedly shoved her down a steep slope, pelted her with rocks while she was urinating in the field, called her a “slut” and a “whore,” and urged her to have sex with his brother, who was also on the trip.
The entire issue is not about “science”, and the subset of the issue is about academia and merely does not leave out scientists. The issues of harrassment are social, and cross any social sector you want to look at. So why should “science” change. It shouldn’t and neither is it necessary to “change science”. People have to improve their morality and while many of us would tell people to find G-d, I’d tell them to at least find something else to get their morals straight, if they reject that.
The solution - burqas for all!
Stupid article. What they are complaining about is the grant structure. Professors don’t control that the schools do.
Plus unless it’s out right discriminatory (putting a male coloeague’s name on a paper rather than the female’s) this is just a matter of women not following their parents advice ( mostly from dad). When someone says something outrageous or rude you in a very loud voice say “ I can’t believe you just asked me that” then say what was said. It embarrasses the fool. If you’re alone you look the yob in the eyes and say “ if you ever do that again I will tear your testicles off and stuff them down your throat” then smile sweetly and walk away
Yes. So "subtle" that it doesn't exist. That's why it's "underreported."
Change science? Ok sure
Feminists want 1 + 1 to equal Men Are Bad And Must Be Slaves Of Ugly Women.
