Hello All, It is not the discussion of gender issues that I find fault with. It is a very important discussion. I find fault with the hijacking of this forum for that discussion and the subtle bashing of academia, graduate education, scientists, the tenure system, women in science, men in scien

Let's not forget that the original comment that triggered this whole discussion was made by a woman! I don't think it was intended to be sexist. It's not sexist to say, "In my experience, women tend to do X and would be better off doing Y". It may be accurate or inaccurate, but it's not sexist. Ja

The #1 issue is placeboundness. If you are looking for a first job, or are unemployed you cannot afford to put any restrictions on where you take that first position (technically this applies to all, not just BS/MS grads). I looked at Indeed.com and they show 52 new openings in GIS. That is not act

Seems to me that you completely misunderstood Dr. Olden's e-mail, who (to my understanding) just tried to help everyone to reject sexist comments like the one originally posted. I am not saying that this kind of comments should not be publicly disapproved, and probably just moving them into the sp
