This is a really important. Very similar to what happened in the tech/AI/society analysis. A good number of the best researchers/writers are women.

It's not just chance. In the AI/tech/society field, the number of mediocre men who keep on writing mediocre, vapid stuff and still get some of the best jobs/attention is so staggering that one has to be blind to the sexism not to notice it. The reverse would never be tolerated.

Personally, I'm doing fine but we're swimming in tar all our lives while some people get to hop on jet skis. When we point out the problem, people say you're doing fine! Yes, some of us managed to swim much much harder *and* got lucky. That's why we can and should speak up.
