the lock screen of my phone displayed a news article headline in german about how women in academia have less and less kids. without any hint why that may be, of course.

that's what's considered a women's day topic here in germany..

🙄

@distelfliege From what I've read about academics in the US working conditions there are getting increasingly bleak. I don't know if the same trend applies in Germany.

@bob in germany, if you have to take care of children, you can basically say goodbye to your career.

@bob when I went to uni I was told by a male professor that he thinks women shouldn't be here because they will have kids anyway and the expensive academic education would be wasted on them.

@distelfliege It sounds like the expensive academic education was wasted on him.
