You're implying that because the women you picked didn't speak up and just did their work, that somehow that is the model all women should follow (because Science, apparently). Yet you provide no evidence that they were not affected by attitudes toward women. Just because they did not speak up does not imply there were no negative effects of contemporary attitudes toward women. On the other hand, I have evidence that researchers are affected by it.
- CamperBob2 12y agoYet you provide no evidence that they were not affected by attitudes toward women. The New York Times Magazine article is pretty long, it'll take you a few minutes to read it. I'll wait. Short version: they suffered real discrimination, which you've diminished by comparing it to the use of Lenna.jpg in a graphics project.
