Oh- just thought of a personal experience of discrimination that should be illuminating- While discussing rotations with my PhD advisor, she told me not to bother with two of the 5 people on my list since, “They don’t like women and will try to drive you out of their lab. They’ve done it before.” I believe her. That is just sad.
Hm… Where sexual favor for money was unwanted… I can’t think of a story I’ve heard where the woman didn’t think at the time it was a good idea—but many of them suffer terrible guilt after the fact… Maybe the problem is society telling them they’re bad people for having done it.
