For example, our institute goes to the pub together every Friday. One of the things I do is organise what pub we're going to. My way to make it as inclusive as I can is to choose a pub that has lots of space, offers food (if it doesn't then takeaways nearby), softdrinks and cheap

My whole university moved seminars away from the ability to go to the pub afterwards as part of a drive towards being more family-friendly. Pub time overlaps, in their opinion, too much with picking-up kids time and thus they believe their move promotes inclusivity of mothers.

Is this something considered here in your pro-pub opinions or do you two (Tiff and and Lewis) actually think my university is being classist? Again, genuine question, I want to know your thoughts.

And maybe also the man earns more money (cause pay gap) so it makes more sense for the woman to stay home. Like it’s not just working hours that drive women/caretakers out of STEM

Isn't this erasing single mums, bi women? I'm really confused.

My original point was that harassers are responsible for driving more women out of academia than the mere presence of alcohol, so I’m just gonna reiterate that that’s the point of this discussion for me
