My SAT score was much, much higher than my high-school boyfriend’s. We found this out because he casually asked me, and when I told him, I watched him go pale and then get really, really pissed off. He basically had to up and walk away from me, because he was so angry and knew (because although this story doesn’t…

I was the only woman in my engine design class. The men complained when they found out I was the only person who got full credit on participation. Prof explained that I was the only one who contributed to discussions without spouting complete bullshit. Thank you, older white man, for not living up to stereotypes.

Okay, this is one of those things that you had to be there for, and I can’t recall her exact words. This was a 300 level class on gender and sexuality in the ancient world (here meaning the Mediterranean) taught by a female professor and composed of mostly female students. The three boys in the class were my boyfriend…

I mean forget gender bias for one second, this should be a huge strike against men as they are inferior at evaluating the ability of subordinates if they ever enter a leadership role. How can you trust men to head up departments or use grant money wisely when they are so inferior at evaluating a candidate’s ability?

This is 100% why I stopped playing music. I don’t want to have to work my butt off to be in an amazing band right out the gate, or face instant condemnation. I just wanted to be a in a bunch of crap bands, have fun, and improve as a musician and writer while doing it. Also got sick of dudes hovering around my DIY,…

So...many...stories. I just deleted a massive post. I feel like this is such a “Duh” thing, but I guess it’s good to quantify the phenomenon.

I heard “You only got into Ohio State because your black” many a time from a white dude. Or once I was there and I told older white men (and women) I went to OSU they always asked “What sport do you play?” My answer was I am a small forward on the academics team.

Here’s the issue though - I spoke up in class (while female) and basically didn’t give a toss what the boys thought. It rarely ended well for me on the peer or professor level. I was deemed too pushy, bossy, aggressive etc. many times a dude would say same thing right after and it would get acknowledged. So there's no…

A million years ago when I was an undergrad, one of my 300-level classes required active participation in class discussions to get an A. This was made nearly impossible by Annoying Alan, who would hurl his arm in the air at the slightest provocation and drone on about basic facts endlessly.

THIS. I’m a chemical oceanography PhD student. I speak up all the time. Do great work. But every time I meet a new scientist, we have to go through the thing where they assume I am not as good as my male colleagues. Said colleagues pretend they get it is messed up, but don’t hesitate to enjoy and take advantage of the…

ACK I get this all the fucking time at work. While studying for a board exam I would explain a concept or an answer and then they ask a (very competent, mind you) male co-worker and it’s always “He’s crazy smart.” I JUST TOLD YOU THE EXACT SAME THING. And this was from female co-workers. I guaran-fucking-tee they view…

You've just described my entire career.

The reality is the women have had to be THAT MUCH BETTER to even survive engineering school, so really they’re actually the ones you want on your Senior CAP group project team

i’m sure these aren’t the same guys who talk over female colleagues 5 years later.

I’m sure the whole “Women who speak up are bossy and speak too much and men who speak up are seen as leaders” also had nothing to do with this.

100% sure that this kind of bias will not stop dudes from letting the woman in their study groups do all of the work.

I have a relationship test that’s easier and free! Nurse each other through the stomach flu, if you can still be attracted to each other afterwards you're good to go.

Impossible. My relationship with Netflix has never been stronger.

I thought it was because he is the human version of Gollum.

I want to put in a plug for the quads. Don’t let the Jesus-y attitudes, and Utah baby names throw you. If you’ve followed their facebook page or blog even a little bit (and I only have a little bit), they seem pretty cool. I can’t blame them for profiting off their babes. I’d do the same. These suckers are costly. And…
