[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 "all my friends are guys, I don't do female friendships."

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.

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