   @breadandcircuses When I was a grad student, I thought we were surely headed toward parity. I was surrounded by so many bright, driven, curious & ambitious women!

   But then came negotiations, bullying & harassment, bias, motherhood without institutional support, inadequate or unaffordable childcare, lack of credit, male dominated social norms - all before a pandemic. Our numbers have dwindled at every step.

     @Sheril
     I can remember, because I lived through it, back in the 1970s when we thought women's liberation should make things more or less equal pretty quickly, and that was a good thing. If not right away, then probably in 10 years, and certainly in 20 years........ but now it's 50 years later, a half century! And we're still waiting??!!
