Since you did your PhD with many women, why not ask them?
- buboard 7y agoIt was not in physics and she admits it was helpful to have a few extra prizes in her CV, but i don't know about obstacles, she's a star anyway
- whatshisface 7y agoA woman wouldn't be in any better position to compare the male experience with the female experience than a man would, because in both cases they would have to have knowledge that wasn't from direct experience.
- majos 7y agoSure, they can’t definitely answer “being a woman is harder”. But they can probably give some insight into the obstacles they’ve encountered. In my experience, those obstacles are very different than the ones a guy like me has.
