Heather
- Because I work my ass off for almost no money running a non-profit organization to increase the level of scientific Clue promulgated to the masses while raising a kid as a single mom.
- Because this means that I work with an overwhelmingly male-dominated scientific community full of tenured narcissists.
- Because I get to travel to new and interesting places, wherein invariably, some pompous, overblown tweed-wearing megalomaniacal Herr Doctor Professor makes smarmy comments about how "nice" it is to see a "pretty girl" at "their" conferences in that condescending tone that construes their real meaning, which is something far more insidious.
- Because I get to listen to all the knee-jerk, ignorant, irrationalizations for why women just don't have the kind of "mind" for science and math research that men do, and are better suited in teaching positions.
- Because the number of women who have won Nobel's in Physics is absurdly small and is somewhere around the same proportion of women who hold department-head positions in laboratories funded by far less discriminating proportions of women's tax-money.
- Because I've had my grant-proposals rejected consistently when the review committees were entirely male, and the same proposals approved when there were women on the committee.
- Because I deal with this crap all the time, and manage to laugh at them while not losing sight of the important parts of my work that truly inspire me. I have come to the conclusion that one *must* be a Heartless Bitch to deal with it, one must maintain a certain amount of bemused apathy at this reckless, wanton stupidity, or else all the Prozac in the world wouldn't save my wretched soul.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
