Written by a woman, by the way.
I mention this because I was surprised to realize that upon reaching the end of the article, and then of course I had to interrogate why I was surprised. I’m sure this will get some (justifiable) hate, but: I was more sympathetic to the arguments after realizing the author didn’t conform to my stereotype of a mathematically-focused man who undervalued other disciplines.
(I clearly have a blind spot around women who undervalue other disciplines.)
- kayodelycaon 2y agoThanks for pointing that out. It's too late for me to edit my comment. I hate to admit this, but my knee-jerk reaction is to have less sympathy for the same reason. Stereotypes are really hard to break even when you're aware of them. Ultimately the author's gender doesn't affect my opinion of the article.
