[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BAKING!  Why didn't women think of that???!?!? That's ALL that's standing between us and ending discrimination in STEM!

Do you people even hear yourselves?  Fucking BAKING?[/quote]

I'm appalled.  There are some sympathetic comments from women who haven't had to deal with this, but there is a lot of vitriol too (I'm not even addressing Mr. Affirmative Action - I hope he made his way back to 1950).  I attribute this to one or more of the following tropes:

(1) The usual DCUM "if it hasn't happened to me, then it doesn't happen", or
(2)  Some women love throwing other women under the bus, sometimes known as "[b]all my friends are guys, I don't do female friendships[/b]."

Or, my favorite:
(3)  If bad shit happens to you, it's your fault / you weren't trying hard enough.  Bake some cookies to be accepted by the brogrammers, ladies, and be sure you look good while serving them up.

I hope this isn't the kind of advice these PPs give out at Career Day at their kids' school.
