My friendliness gets mistaken for flirtation or romantic interest. Why can't a girl just kick back and hang out with a guy without him and everyone else thinking that there is a romantic involvement!" [ reformatted - motd formatting daemon ] \_ It's probably because you don't know how to format. \_ hey don't pick on her, she's just a girl \_ Let's find her pics and we'll judge if she's making this up. |

cse.stanford.edu/classes/cs201/projects-00-01/women-faculty -> cse.stanford.edu/classes/cs201/projects-00-01/women-faculty/ Selected Quotes from Interviewed Stanford Faculty and Students "A Gender base support group is not always the most effective. It seemed to me that all women were in theory, but maybe that was just what Berkeley was like. Did not happen for me until grad school (Had Monica Lam for 143). If all I see is white 50 yer old males, think can I ever be there. If each stage in game cutting %women in half, odds of getting role model very low. I wonder how much of it is historic, before all the attention has been brought to being PC. And how much of it is from women who are overly sensitive, and not willing to be as flexible and open-minded as they would require people to be of them. My friendliness gets mistaken for flirtation or romantic interest. Why can't a girl just kick back and hang out with a guy without him and everyone else thinking that there is a romantic involvement! I had lunch with a male peer and everyone regarded it as a date. Just this past year, three CS peers/friends mistook my friendliness for romantic interest, resulting in things becoming awkward between us. It's not so much an issue, I think it's nice to be unusual. However, sometimes it's uncomfortable being the only female. Our searches are completely unbiased - we do not look at gender. It'd be nice to have more women, but not willing to sacrifice quality of dept for it. I dont think that there is any difference in getting into graduate school, either. Yes, there are a lot fewer female applicants, but I really dont get the sense that they would get any special treatment. I think that the ratio of men and women in graduate school pretty much reflects the ratio of applicants. |
