Science is sexist because it's not subjective
This is a perfect example of what @kyriacos was talking about yesterday:
You want to make it in academia? Publish papers. Quality? Doesn't matter. What matters is numbers. The more you publish the better.
No doubt the PhD candidate mentioned in Ms Pullman's article will be cashing in on this "obvious" discrimination through multiple grants to fund a wide range of studies that have already proved her theory. It's just a matter of writing the summations once she gets the money.
Yes, that's sadly the state of our academia.
But the internet is beginning to remedy that.
The internet and the people who are using it to make people think @chhaylin. ;-)
