THE THING IS THAT FOR WOMEN IT’S NEVER ABOUT “THE THING” THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING; IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT SOCIAL POSITIONING:  Women in academia and their effect on the university.

Yes, obviously there are exceptions. It’s a spectrum. I never understood female social games, and I tend to be obsessive about the stuff I care about. Many geek women are like that. But if you get a lot of women together and women in charge, the “average” rules. It all becomes the politics and backstabbing of the serraglio, and the goal is always to be top b*tch.
