F*ck! When does it end? ER doctors (like Toronto’s Marko Duic) not hiring women physicians for 16 years (!!) gender bias in funding, universities undervalue, underpay female academics, women get pushed out of STEMs, add in racism, sexism.... #cdnpse #WomenInSTEM
let's not forget Twitter is toxic for women. Report by @Amnesty confirmed what EVERY woman knows already. There is an abusive tweet every 30 seconds and Black women are 84% MORE likely to be targets of abusive tweets. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… …
It gets worse: "Racialized women had highest unemployment rate at 10%... women of colour, are more likely to be concentrated in low-wage jobs. Racialized women were 25% more likely to be working in occupations in the bottom half of the income distribution" thestar.com/news/canada/20…
Getting worse: Black women are more likely to DIE sooner from racism & sexism and CHRONIC toxic stress due to dealing with sexism/racism. See this enraging and depressing report below. npr.org/2017/12/07/568…
Can you handle more toxic crap women have to deal with? Men interrupt women MORE often. See this report for mansplaining and manterrupting nextions.com/wp-content/upl…
Double-f*ck for this one....way back in August 2018 we heard the news: Tokyo medical schools "admitted to deliberately altering entrance exam scores for more than a decade to restrict the number of female students and ensure more men became doctors." theguardian.com/world/2018/aug…
💩 That's all I have to say about these numbers: Men's voices are represented in Canadian media = 71%....compared to women's voices at 29%. Men are MORE likely to be quoted as an expert or interviewed. 👏🏻to @ShariGraydon for this research. informedopinions.org/about/research/
Do you know how much you have to HATE women to not hire a single woman physician at the hospital for 16 years?! Let me introduce you to former ED chief #MarkoDuic theglobeandmail.com/canada/investi…
Thank you to @WendyGlauser for her work on getting this story out. Here is the background investigative story to the above tweet. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
"Women are INADEQUATELY [to put it mildly] represented as peer reviewers, journal editors and last authors of studies...Women are 20% of peer-reviewers, women and authors in developing countries seem to be marginalized in peer review" nature.com/articles/d4158…
New data: same sad news for women. Majority of women surgeons experience #sexism "There is a culture that basically discourages females to pursue this career,” said Dr Maria Irene Bellini of Imperial College, London, first author of the study. theguardian.com/society/2019/j…
😱There. Are. ONLY. 25 Black Female Professors in UK universities. "Black female professors have 2 overcome bullying, stereotyping & institutional neglect 2 win promotion according to new report of their experiences working at British universities." theguardian.com/education/2019…
I have to tweet this again, because I CANNOT believe this statistic. I mean I believe it, but it is HORRIFYING. "There are only 25 black female professors* in the UK - they make up just 0.1% of all professors, compared to white men who represent two-thirds (68%) of professors."
Here is the official report (in pdf) for the above tweet. Staying Power: The Career Experiences and Strategies of UK Black female professors. ucu.org.uk/media/10075/st…
