Today, the Women in Physics working group launched their first meeting

Lmao holy shit I thought this was a chud tweet and was going to call it fake because it seems so lazily satirical but this is a group that's part of Perimeter

I have a close, youngish female relative who is a big deal academic. A few years ago she was about to present at an academic conference when a clearly amateurish, outsider guy came up to her and tried to flirt/mansplain the topic she's literally the world expert on, not knowing who she was.

She could have dragged him on twitter.

Instead, she thought, "Hey, here's a good looking guy who is genuinely interested in me and in the weird esoteric topic I research." Now they're happily married and have 3 kids.

Edit: it has come to my attention that some of you are fixated on the words “good looking.” You are right to fixate on this; you shouldn't talk to women unless you're hot.

women in physics

it's all neofoids

they're whining about mansplaining

the jokes write themselves

Wtf why are faces I personally recognize popping up on rdrama threads.

wait that actually says mansplaining the filter has broken me

All these infinite possible eigenstates and yet there's still not a single one where either of them is a woman

and they kept bugging me at school trying to get me to register for this shit

This is like voluntarily submitting yourself to one of those hr mandated sensitivity training courses

we're going to get to the point where work is going to be 7 hours a day of mandatory globo-homo training and an hour to do what you're actually paid for

Womeme

Darn, comments are disabled. I was gonna tweet "Fewer peepeees than I expected"

Physics?

Looking at the IT stuff (not phones) left to right: Apple tablet, Apple, HP, non-Apple? tablet, closed non-Apple, Lenovo (with crumpled post-it, nice!), maybe older Apple (glossy screen = trash in any case)

Of these 7 items the tablets and the glossy at least make me wonder if they know what they're doing. Also in the last picture, wtf is going on with that head in the background? A gourd in human form?

These are the people who will rule over your children

Women physicists: We would like to hold our annual physics meeting to talk about the issue of mansplaining and women's empowerment in the workplace.

Physics department: And how does this help us do better physics?

Women physicists: Physics?
