Yeah You Could Say I’m Doing Numbers On Tumblr. And That Numbers? One

They should block chatgpt on uni WiFi the way they used to block coolmathgames

things that happened to me when i was a woman in STEM:

an advisor humiliated me in front of an entire lab group because of a call I made in his place when he wouldn't reply to my e-mails for months

he later delegated part of my master's thesis work to a 19-year old male undergrad without my approval

a male scientist at a NASA conference looked me up and down and asked when i was graduating and if i was open to a job at his company. right before inquiring what my ethnicity was because i "looked exotic"

a random male member of the public began talking over me and my female advisor, an oceanographer with a pHD and decades of experience, saying he knew more about oceanography than us

things that have happened to me since becoming a man in STEM:

being asked consistently for advice on projects despite being completely new to a position

male colleagues approaching me to drop candid information regarding our partners / higher ups that I was not privy to before

lenience toward my work in a way I haven't experienced before. incredible understanding when I need to take time off to care for my family.

conference rooms go silent when I start talking. no side chatter. I get a baseline level of attention and focus from people that's very unfamiliar and genuinely difficult for me to wrap my head around.

like. yes some PI's will still be assholes regardless of the gender of their subordinates but, I've lived this transition. misogyny in STEM is killing women's careers, and trans men can and do experience male privilege.

I’ve heard an argument for abortion that basically says legalizing abortions decreases the amount that it happens. As much as I’m pro choice, I don’t think this is the case. I think that places that allow abortion have other systems that decrease need for abortions. Here is an uncomplete list of these systems:

1. Free/affordable healthcare

2. Affordable food

3. Free/Affordable education (INCLUDING COLLEGE)

4. Livable wages

5. Affordable housing

6. Actual sex education, not just saying iF yOu DoNt WaNt KiDs ThEn DoNt HaVe SeX

7. Cities built to encourage human interaction, not to discourage

8. NO RACISM IN MEDICINE/MEDICINE EDUCATION (I specifically mentioned this one because black women are still extremely likely to die during childbirth)

9. More gun control

Feel feee to add if you have any other ideas!!

Edit: I forgot to add one of them

10. Don’t encourage men to rape by saying things like “wHaT wAs ShE wEaRiNg” or “bOyS wIlL bE bOyS” and for the worlds sake doNT PUT A RAPIST INTO POWER
