  • Always boils down to the “If I buy a bigger car I’ll be safer!” fallacy. If I buy even bigger shoes I’ll be safer from injury in running! If I buy bigger and better trousers I will get less injured at work! If I buy a bigger phone I will get scammed less!

    I hope people in all the countries facing their initial “Yank Tank” fevers will vote someone in that is responsible enough to reverse this process. I recently sold my 2003 “Combi”-style car because it was simply too big, looking for something smaller has me left wanting but I’ll make do without a car for the time being.

    I agree that the usage of “white” is irrelevant here. That being said, are you in academics? It is not an unusual situation for people to not be aware of the “face behind the maths” so to speak. Granted, this is not entirely unique to women in science but it is exhaustingly common for women to be questioned more than their peers.

    I think questioning this is fine as many people lie but I wouldn’t take this to mean this type of situation didn’t happen/couldn’t happen.
