Have @OtherSociology and @STEMWomen seen this shite?http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/11/02/opinion/sunday/academic-science-isnt-sexist.html?referrer= …

@OtherSociology@IBJIYONGI Not accurate at all. Show childless women as productive as childless men, but women w/kids take a giant hit.
@akimbami Hi. Married men w/ kids publish more than childfree academics & women w/ kids. System unfriendly to motherhood. @IBJIYONGI

@IBJIYONGI Problematic legacy of economics: "homo economicus" (economic man) people driven by rational self-interest. Simplistic!@akimbami -
@OtherSociology@akimbami we must accept the best science will not always be done by people who made "traditional" "choices" -
.
@IBJIYONGI Absolutely! Also research shows diversity strengthens innovation. Can't solve new problems with old thinking.@akimbami

@akimbami Married men w/ kids reach tenure quickest; followed by childlfree men; then childfree women. Mothers worse off.@IBJIYONGI -

@akimbami Ceci's team think "productivity" is outcome of choices but If sexism wasn't issue women would not be penalised at all.@IBJIYONGI -
@OtherSociology@IBJIYONGI You might try reading their article before you tweet. They do not think productivity reflects "choices" -
@akimbami@OtherSociology did you read their editorial? Because they say that in their editorial. They may want to ask for a correction! -
@IBJIYONGI@OtherSociology They said entering STEM reflected choice. Did you read the OP-Ed? -
@akimbami@OtherSociology unfortunately multiple times. It's sexist to refer to parenthood as a problematic choice. -
@IBJIYONGI@OtherSociology Parenthood is obviously not the problematic "choice". The problem is who does the childcare. Think about it. -
@akimbami@OtherSociology I was raised by a single mom so I seriously do not need a lecture on who does the child care - 2 more replies

@OtherSociology Likely reflects that males have a wife at home doing the childcare. Academia is hostile to equal childcare and single moms.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
