No, women find unsuccessful men repulsive, which is why we flock to demanding, productive, stressful and then highly lucrative fields like biology, physics, and mathematics. A man who majors in a touchy-feely feminized major and flips burgers after college does not attract a mate easily.
Have seen no good come from this. The group leader would do well anyway and the rest get nothing and they would have got nothing anyway, group or no group.
Not from what I have seen in science and engineering! Women typically meet minimum standards then claim wild success. I have met some women who were the best but they are very rare. They are usually superficial in their knowledge. I have a lady on my team that can keep up with anyone on a technical basis and she makes for a good pilot, too, but she is unique in my experiences.
That said, women really are the best multitaskers bar none and excel in many career fields. Take my wife, a clinical social worker in a hospital. I don’t think too many men can perform that level of clinical work and keep it all straight without screwing it up by dropping things. Even with nursing women make the best nurses all around as they can keep multiple patients together at once and never seem to break a sweat. But for some reason, tell them what they are doing is “technical” and they seem to tune out. They certainly have the brains so I don’t know why they run away from technical and scientific studies except maybe they are taught at a young age that mechanical things are for boys.
Hey, some hammers are more equal than others.
But there are votes to be garnered. Anything else goes under the bus.
Ah yes, Nancy Hopkins, the ninny who suffered a case of the vapors after Larry Summers made some common sense remarks re men and women.
Might not be the group leader. Still the magic 20% doing 80% of the work. Team science would mean the team gets credit for the work of 1 and the rest can slack off.
She’s the same person!? I didn’t even catch that. What a self-centered buffoon.
