I don’t see any sexism, do you see any sexism??
Nope, no sexism to be seen here; now move along, please.
Oh, for sure, all male applicants with any family obligations get the same remark, don’t they?
nah I just see a joke – why the witch-hunt ?
I’m guessing the reviewer is a Science Monk with no partner or family?
Sometimes I feel like sexism is getting worse, then I realized this is just the force of a powerful media tool. After all, I suffered a lot of this stuff in the past, but there was no place to publish it; it just happened, and everyone involved laughed it off (except me). Social media is allowing us to get attention for the ordinary, everyday sexism we’ve all lived so long. At least I feel less alone in it all.
