1. hmm another gender-related observation the maybe three smartest women i know in meatspace are also the least capital-F Feminist
Think the interesting thing here is these women feeling *more* comfortable w their group membership/identity. "Yup I'm feminine, also bril"

This could be related to another thing I was thinking of; being so obviously brilliant outweighing others' gendered assumptions/perceptions
-
Someone who is seen as intelligent first and woman second could have less cause for insecurity related to people's gendered assumptions
-
Whereas people who perceive themselves as being judged as Member of Group could easily have a much more complex relationship to that
-
In fact, it might also be that it's easier to *observe* discrimination if you have lots of peers at similar skill level to swap stories with
-
If you know people who seem equally competent, at same position as yourself, with experience of clear prejudice, you might get suspicious
