This whole thread is worth reading, but the findings in particular are pretty striking. (Not surprising, but still remarkable to see them established in this way.)
Here’s what they found:
Women are interrupted more often than men—by about 10–20% in economics seminars.
Those interruptions are more likely to:
- Cut women off mid-sentence
- Come from men
- Be adversarial rather than clarifying in nature

Inside you there are two wolves. Both wolves are being visited by three spirits. The spirits all have two ghost-wolves inside them. The ghost-wolves are all being visited by three extra-dead spirits. From there, the math gets upsetting

If you're arrested in Illinois for the means by which you acquire food for your family because of the government shutdown or loss of SNAP benefits, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
