As much as I like being listed as keynote speaker for #IMPS2018, I do think that the 12 - 1 male - female ratio in keynote and invited speakers *is* striking... https://www.psychometricsociety.org/content/imps-2018 …
Psychometrics is an autistic male thing, what do you expect? :p

Only to those who false assume I dislike autistic male things.
-
No, in general. It comes across as you saying women aren’t able to handle psychometrics. Also seems like you’re stereotyping people with ASD as all being mathematicians
-
Stereotypes are accurate. Psychometrics is heavily male despite a subfield of a female field, just like the other quant heavy subfields. Not a coincidence. (PS, don't strawman people by adding your own universal quantifiers)
-
Just to be clear, are you arguing that the reason for quant psych being a male dominated field is that women are worse at math?
-
That too. Less interested in quanty things in general.
-
And are you aware that that is a textbook example of sexism?
-
Sexism is true. Stop thinking in isms. Think in numbers.

That is either a not very funny joke, or you never opened a recent issue of Psychometrika

You must be fun at parties. Calling something autistic and male is hardly the worst of insults, places with these two groups of people are the best in society. ;)
