Its like this adviser is necessarily going to be a sexist douche to the author's face, yet this adviser never graduated a female PHD student (which the author had to find out from another channel) and the conference the adviser run hasn't had any women represented for a period of years.
Just because someone isn't directly disrespectful to you to your face doesn't mean they don't have bias or aren't sexist. It is not incumbent on the people with no power in that kind of relationship to provide evidence to satisfy your disbelief.
- EC1 13y agoHow do you know this is strictly because he is sexist? What if I'm a hiring manager, and I had 50 applications, 25 Male, 25 female. What if all the female candidates were really bad, and I ended up hiring 10 men? Is that sexism? People are really reaching. I have yet to see a direct case of male vs female sexism on HN. It's usually heavily extrapolated and begging for an implication.
