Search Results: do women check out men

Professor Alessandro Strumia, of Pisa University, has been suspended with immediate effect from working with the European nuclear research centre CERN, pending an investigation, after giving a speech at a workshop in Geneva on gender and high energy physics where he told his audience of mostly female physicists that "physics was invented and built by men, it's not by invitation", and that his results "prove that physics is not sexist against women. However the truth does not matter, because it is part of a political battle coming from outside".

He produced a series of graphs which showed that women were hired over men whose research was cited more by other scientists in their publications, an indication of higher quality. He also presented data that showed that male and female researchers were equally cited at the start of their careers, but men scored progressively better as their careers progressed. Prof Strumia also pointed to behavioral research, citing a study which indicated that "men prefer working with things and women prefer working with people" and another suggesting that there was a "difference even in children before any social influence", saying that these conclusions may "not be fully right... (but) the opposite assumption of identical brains is ideology".

Unfortunately for Strumia though, Dr Jessica Wade, a physicist from Imperial College London, was at the meeting, and contacted BBC News to tell them how "really upsetting to those at the workshop," his speech was. "This man gets up, saying all this horrible stuff. I don't understand how such a forward thinking organisation like CERN, which does so much to promote diversity in research, could have invited him to speak to young people". When the BBC contacted Prof Strumia about his "highly offensive" speech, he said: "People say that physics is sexist, physics is racist. I made some simple checks and discovered that it wasn't, that it was becoming sexist against men and said so." What do you think?

This guy just oozes gayness. I had thought he was gay, at first, but he has a wife and kids I think, based on a pic on their website. But he speaks so friggin' softly, has immense compassion. He's just a very, very feminine man.

I've never had a dentist personally contact me to see how I'm doing--at night--after a procedure. He also asked the assistant--an amazingly kind and caring and highly interpersonal woman--about her boyfriend or husband or whomever it was, when conversation between them lulled. I remember thinking, "Hmm. Is he trying to tell me that she's unavailable?"

My gaydar is going off like crazy. Since I'm straight as fuck, maybe I just don't have a good one. But imagine the gayest sounding voice you've ever heard. That's *almost* his voice.

He is a fucking incredible dentist, though. Been doing it 30 years. I barely felt anything, and I *always* feel pain.

So, my appointment was at 11AM, and he texted me at 9PM.

like how men get told to 'man up'?

Here's an urban dictionary definition of 'woman up':
1) Be a courageous and strong mature woman by appropriately taking action and responsibility.

2) Don't inappropriately play the victim card by cowardly passing off your faults on others. Work to fix what you messed up.

3) Check yourself, admit when you're wrong, apology, and show that you are truly sorry instead of focusing on winning an argument.

4) Pay your own way and stop freeloading off guys and your female friends, acting like someone owes you something just because you showed up.

I recently went into a liquor store recently and when I went to check out the clerk and a customer were having a conversation about their husbands. Both were women. The customer said something potentially insulting about men as I stood in line.

Basically the clerk noticed me walk in (when the talk began) and when the customer said what she did, she noticed me standing there. I responded with a reluctant nod, as she said it wasn't all men. Then she said that some women can be assholes. (her words if a bit more polite in my interpretation)

I ended it by saying the following, "People in general are assholes, gender doesn't really play a part in it in my opinion."

Note: I have the rather strange ability to blend into the background no matter what I wear, so I'm not surprised she didn't notice me at first.
