Replying to @IrisVanRooij @o_guest
reflecting on last weeks workshop. when i am thinking really hard about a topic plus feel i have to concentrate on my own position in a group, it severely limits my attention for stereotypical m/f patterns. there were a lot of guys doing a lot of the talking.

That’s why it’s important to have a moderater who makes sure women more often ask questions first.https://twitter.com/medicalwomenuk/status/940577232032092161?s=21 …

MWF @medicalwomenukInteresting study: women ask fewer questions in seminars when a man asks the first question, but when a woman asks first, men & women then ask equal number of questions Result: letting women speak first may help to overcome academia's gender imbalance https://twitter.com/Ananyo/status/940542981999857664 …1 reply 3 retweets 6 likes -
Other point you make is also important: people overlook gender bias due to cognitive resource limits. This is why I think one of the main challenges to diversity is simply the unhealthy task load of academics. People become too self-centered & tunnel visioned because of overload.

On the other hand, if one (typically the affected minorities) *does* notice biases and injustices, one is too overloaded to do something about them, aggravating the despair and emotional overload.

Not just overloaded but I would argue often actively gaslit!
