Well, welcome to the world of women, my friend!

(not to distract or detract from your real points, but I must say this leaped out at me).

Actually I thought that as I wrote what I did. Please do not think I am insensitive to that awful fact. Interestingly enough, I strongly believe that as more women enter science and make names for themselves they will more and more face the more common contempt of just being smart faced in this culture as opposed to being smart women who are getting “uppity.” It is hard to argue with the woman who cured a disease or invented something useful.. or at least it will get harder and harder as there are more and more examples.

I despise the view that cuts half the talent out of the picture. It is unjust, and self destructive as well.
