Yesterday @fp2p wrote a post on a lecture by Stephan Dercon. It’s a bit gushy: Dercon is “brilliant, witty & waspish”, the summary was “wonderful”, “quick, funny & accessible”, “hard to beat”. Duncan did note at the end that few women or people from the South were mentioned (1/)

Stefan IS brilliant & witty etc, but I wonder why the adjective cupboard was empty for Alice? Why did Duncan present Stefan’s picks as ‘10 top thinkers’, but the male bias as “perceived”? Why are additional suggestions a sign of Alice’s forgetfulness? https://twitter.com/_alice_evans/status/951357829142798336 … 6/

They are all little things, but they reflect the broader pattern we are talking: of ‘great men’, (and young men that therefore look like they may be on the pathway to greatness) being described, celebrated and thought about in a way that (young) women are not. 7/7
