Jennifer Saul - Philosophy has a sexual harassment problem: http://bit.ly/14NIC7l #philosophy

@PhilosophyExp But if, so, why does she single out philosophy? Seems irresponsible and yet another case of philosophers self-flagellating.
@mpigliucci sociologists, for example. Certainly, my experience of philosophers at Cambridge was... interesting. I'm agnostic about all this

@PhilosophyExp You are certainly right, it’s an empirical question. Perhaps she should have, you know, looked at data before writing? -
@mpigliucci@PhilosophyExp@slatecultfest @metlandia Didn't she? Data: 30% of US PhDs in Philosophy went to women: http://bit.ly/16SKsSy -
@PartiallyExLife@PhilosophyExp@SlateCultFest @Metlandia That’s not harassment. And is it different for math, engineering, etc.? -
@mpigliucci@PhilosophyExp@SlateCultFest @Metlandia True, but it is relevant. How many anecdotes must Saul receive before it's data? -
@PartiallyExLife@PhilosophyExp@SlateCultFest @Metlandia Anecdotes are *never* data. But they do point to the need for data. -
@mpigliucci@PhilosophyExp@SlateCultFest @Metlandia Yes! That seems a better response than criticizing for lack of "data," however defined.
