@b5cdaf1a my experience. that's why am not in academia anymore. the racist, sexist, classist abuse was just too much after 10 years. am still bitter. 

 @b5cdaf1a 
keep coping.
The whole economy of the world revolves around supply and demand. If you are better, you will get paid more, and the road will be very similiar. business doesn't care about your gender or color or whatever.

Get over the victim mentality. 

 @b5cdaf1a Would be closer to reality if the left side was an escalator 

 @b5cdaf1a 
And many white people look at the fact that they are better off as evidence they are superior. 

 @b5cdaf1a we have a series about this very topic where we interview women in automotive and related tech fields:

Most all of my women colleagues and friends have experienced the graphic you have posted and would be able to relate. 

 @b5cdaf1a it is also ableist because important rooms are only accessible over stairs and disabled people are not even on the picture 

 @b5cdaf1a these days Florida & Texas might be a bit worse for academics than some other states  if one were to put things on a sliding scale by state 

 @b5cdaf1a is that “easy path” why Men are almost 3 times more likely to commit suicide than women? I’m fully against the right wing ideology that women are limited in their roles, but to pretend it’s easy for all “white guys” is disingenuous. Corrupt people who care nothing more about their success come in all shapes and colours. 

 It’s wild that there are a few folks commenting that there aren’t real distinct obstacles for women & BIPOC. /2
