Indeed it all sounds so backward and none of us need this kind of complication. Thank you for sharing your perspective. I appreciate it and we need to hear more voices like yours to understand the damage this kind of thinking does to all women.

FWIW, I personally do not believe that you are doing anything wrong. Been trying to communicate at my institute: stop enrolling women in “stimulating female talent” trainings. As another colleague said: “we women don’t need to be stimulated”

I followed such trainings too. In the end the fruits of trying to mold me in a system that did not fit me was burnout. Trainings cost the institute money & they cost women time & head aches. They don’t help & may even hinder.

Meanwhile, an institute may think “we have programs to stimulate women; we’re doing good”. So nothing will change soon I’m afraid. As I see it: Women don’t need to be “trained” to play the academic game. IMO we best stop trying to train people to emulate problematic >>

behaviors of those succesfully adapted to an non-diverse and non-inclusive academic culture. We need a culture shift. An academic culture that values diversity & inclusivity, values science (not indices), values & rewards teams, collaboration, teaching, etc. /endrant

Recently, two people told me/said a version of "there are lots of women in developmental (modelling) labs so everything is OK" and "women are now being trained in computational stuff"... The problem really REALLY is not a lack of well-trained women.

Also just to be clear, two people = senior-ish men in relatively and very powerful positions men in the broad cognitive science and psychology fields.
