      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. Yet, men, some of whom are genuinely mediocre, have some of the best jobs and publicity while excellent women are skipped over.https://twitter.com/aetiology/status/1262058557442347008 …

      So frustrating, just days after our article on #Covid19 and the patriarchy came out. Journalists, Dr. Rasmussen has a huge list of sources in her thread, and others have been shared since the start of the pandemic. Why still so many stories on the men alone? https://twitter.com/angie_rasmussen/status/1262045994121756672 …

      Nothing wrong with the men profiled in the WSJ, but it takes some effort to end up with a men only article in a field full of high-profile women who are doing amazing work in the same areas as these men. I can name so many off the top of my head! How do you miss them *all*?

      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.

          zeynep tufekci Retweeted Matthew Archer  🚨

          I recommend Thick by @tressiemcphd for a searing essay on who gets to be mediocre and yet be rewarded richly for it. It's the other side of how hard it is to be recognized for excellence for people who are not from the already hegemonic groups .https://twitter.com/matthewarcher5/status/1251276942919294978 …

          I muted "david brooks" a long time ago but for some reason I'm still seeing his new coddling essay on my feed, so it's a good time to remind you that @tressiemcphd's essay on brooks (and other brooks-type figures) is a masterpiece. It's in THICK https://www.powells.com/book/-9781620975879 …

          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.
