See for an example of the latter eg this piece on that topic in the field of mathematics: https://twitter.com/monsoon0/status/974851977313058816?s=21 … With this notable quote:https://twitter.com/irisvanrooij/status/974952827050254336?s=21 …

And see this interesting comment from a women scientist, on her experience (which I recognize!), which even made me aware of a gendered aspect of that narrative that I myself was overlooking (not anymore now; we all learn!):https://twitter.com/asehelene/status/974974241690013697?s=21 …

Also see this thread with an excellent example how women scientists historically have literally be left *unnamed* and often been confused for secretaries or other support staff, instead of independent scientists who made important contributions:https://twitter.com/edyong209/status/974294798357196800?s=21 …

And realize that we—all scientists, men, women or otherwise—live in a culture where femininity is still associated with things like incompetence, weakness, less brilliance, irrationality, or generally jusr ‘not as good’:https://twitter.com/katlab_ucl/status/974746007169896459?s=21 …

This is just to give you a *small* sample of the social cultural context in which you wander as a man & scientist. Your comments are not made in a void. And they are not without impact (on me personally, nor other (aspiring/women) scientists who may overhear your words).

If you care about equal opportunity, you can’t hope to have positive impact without caring about the impact of your words. Unless you do not care about equal opportunity, then ofc our agendas don’t align.
