Brave women required

India’s Brave New Women Scientists

A Gathering of “Brave and Brilliant” Women

I said "privileges" facetiously. They are not privileges. At all. I think Ape Descendant made that abundantly clear. Privilege isn't privilege if it's only a circumstantial thing. White privilege doesn't suddenly go away for a white guy because he lives in China.

And why is that tragic? Women are especially disadvantaged in male dominated working environments; to chose a path with such a great deal of resistance is exceptionally brave.
