Similar situation here, the only people I know in my department who’ve discussed feeling classic imposter syndrome are women. So if the guys do feel the same way, they don’t seem to be as vocal about it, even when it comes up in conversation.

That was kind of my point. It’s stupid to ban something because it’s difficult.

Harder, but far from impossible.

Agree on the boundary issue, but “the royal houses of Europe” experienced hundreds of years of intermarriage and inbreeding. There’s little to no evidence that a single instance like this relationship would produce any genetic problems in their theoretical offspring.
