Women report not “getting up the nerve” to ask questions, so researchers propose that “question time be unlimited” at scientific talks. Because, you know, time is a construct. If you won’t hang around waiting for others to speak, you must be a misogynist.https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0202743 …

Replying to @HeatherEHeying
So infantalising. It's credible that women are less confident about asking questions but the solution to that is for them to push themselves to do it if it matters to them. Confidence will not increase by softening challenges. Women have to be able to compete with men.

@HPluckrose, could you make some videos on some of the topics you have been talking about recently? I would love to watch a lecture series on many of the subjects you have touched on.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
Thank you! I don't make videos but @MikeNayna is producing some short ones and ultimately a documentary which will cover a lot of the things I talk about on here and I will continue writing articles!
