Unfathomably based.

Sucks.

Live and let live, man! And preferably with no sexism!

Not a physicist but fuck it is so relatable.

[-] Zacryon@feddit.org 3 points 1 hour ago

Reminds me of Sabine Hossfelder, a physicist, who had made some similar experiences.

Proof that educated people can still be immensely stupid and be utter human trash.

It's sad that she decided to channel her experience into transphobia, as if punching down will somehow make up for all the punches she got.

[-] Zacryon@feddit.org 1 points 38 minutes ago

Really? That's news to me.

She also made a video extolling the virtues of capitalism and how science wouldn't have progressed without it, but then oddly went on to make videos about why she had to leave academia because of profit motive forcing her to research things that didn't matter but got grant funding to keep her alive, without making the connection that the profit motive that destroyed her dream is due to capitalism.

Not to mention, she's fueling anti-science perspectives.

This sounds like the University of Ottawa. Watching physics professors sexually harass the few women in our class was disgusting.

Bravo to the exceptional bravery on display here. I'm sure the majority of PhD graduates, including myself, wish they'd had the gumption to name and shame the suppressing factors contributing to a toxic academic environment. Reading this makes me kind of appreciative that my troubles were only administrative mismanagement and an inexperienced supervisor.

Also what the hell is up with TU Delft? It's only partway through March and this is the second time this year that I've seen a PhD candidate publicly call out the institute.

Never let the actions of others dictate your future. If you have a goal never never give up.

Spoken like a true man. I'm a victim of sexism in STEM, now resigned to finish my degree in Japanese rather than deal with the awfulness that is men in Engingeering.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 8 minutes ago

Maybe instead of meaningless platitudes actual change would be in order.

[-] Zacryon@feddit.org 6 points 1 hour ago

Simpler said than done. Of course I agree with you, but we need deeper changes in our society, in our behaviour as people. If you get told time and time again, that you're worthless, can't achieve anything etc. that's going to leave a mark. Sure, encouraging to not let that dominate one's thoughts is a useful skill. But it shouldn't be necessary in the first place.

You can also have a chance to get out of such a negative surrounding, connect with people that respect you and do actions that raise your self esteem (back).
