First of all, that's not an unpopular opinion. At the time of posting, there is already another comment saying the same.

So pointing out facts that you don't like, but indicate larger patterns in American culture is shitty. Got it.

I think you're exactly right.

That's the piece of the puzzle that I think a lot of techies miss. A person who is a good programmer, or understands database administration or whatever has the skills to do well in other fields. That person isn't stuck in tech. If the tech community chooses to alienate people, people will choose to leave.…

"Well aren't you a perky little cheerleader?"

No, I realized I don't have to take bullshit lying down, and that I can help other women not have to take it. I feel you; it's really frustating to see other women espouse the view that these abuses are normal (or even desirable) and that I'm trying to 'make a name' by…

Oh, look, more post edits without labeling the edits. What a paragon of reproducibility and integrity.

I knew you were lying about being an academic. I've never met anyone who wasn't a lowly grad student who had anything that could be described as 'ample vacation time'. Buh bye, troll.

Nah, I think I'll go enjoy my kids.

Um, no. I'd bet my next 5 paychecks (because I can afford to, HEY-OH) that your papers are irreproducible with unintelligable data tables and code that doesn't even have unit tests. I'm a really good researcher (that's how I got recruited out, duh); you're the one playing fast and loose with publicly recorded…

Um, it's sexist to tell a woman that leaving academia to better provide for her kids is questionable. That was a good choice for me, and it's not 'questionable' to want to give my kids a good life and college education. Attitudes like yours are why academia is bleeding researchers into better-paying tech jobs.

Since you keep editing your posts (which is a great way to prove how much integrity you have, BTW), I'm going to paste the bit where you called my choice to leave acadmia to better care for my children below. In case you try to make it look like you aren't sexist later:

I wasn't aware that getting a better-paying data science job with childcare benefits and maternity leave was questionable. Sorry my priorities as a woman and mother don't fit into your vision of science. #StemBrainDrain #AcademicSexism

Speaking as a biomed researcher who left the field: take off the rose-colored glasses.

'but unless they are doing their research in a basement with poor data management practices'

Not really. Medicine is notoriously irreproducible.

Unfortunately, medical research is among the least reproducible. Paranoia often prevents researchers from giving each other access to data. There's a good chance much of it's for real lost.

For young women, although past research demonstrates that they are more likely than young men to perceive their same-sex counterparts who drink excessively as promiscuous, unruly and/or irresponsible ( Brooks, 2011 and Lyons and Willott, 2008), this same research also finds that when peers as opposed to strangers…

"I was trying to reply to the other person I'm arguing with who keeps insisting that I not call myself an MRA because some MRA's are extremists."

So research from the New England Law Review journal is invalid because a feminist later wrote about it.

No it isn't:
