I think the less harmful kinds are less harmful.

Good thing I didn’t state any were unimportant, then, isn’t it?

Mysogyny infests our culture. It is goddamn everywhere. It is why so few women go into science and engineering, and why those who do tend to cluster in certain sub-fields. It’s why so many women are victimized sexually. It’s why women are paid less. It’s all over the goddamn place. It’s a giant edifice of crap that take forever to get anywhere with, but slowly, progress gets made.

There are very few women in my field, and frequently get turned down for a job application “lacks skills” even with >20 years of experience. The “skill” that is lacking is the ability to pee standing up.
