What If I'm Judged By Pretty Based And Smart Humans Actually

I've seen dogs take the subway alone. They're smart

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.

This is leftist culture

obsessed with rich christians who say gay people are going to hell. it literally says in the bible that rich people dont go to heaven. like it says that. in the bible. matthew 19:23-26

Hades: "You can take Eurydice out of the Underworld, but if you turn back to check on her, she'd be trapped here forever!"

Me as Orpheus: "Mmm... normally it's no issue, but today is a high anxiety day and I'm afraid I might snap and take a look. Can we do it tomorrow after I get a night of sleep?"

This is called being a witch
