In 2012, I had an interview with two interviewers at an R1 when, halfway through the interview in the hotel room, the toilet flushed and a third person emerged from the bathroom. And then, the three proceeded to debate the semantics of my dissertation... without me.
And that story was nothing.

If you are not in academia, you might not know this, but job interviews used to be held at conferences IN HOTEL ROOMS. Women candidates in a hotel room alone with often all-male committees. People sitting on beds! The horror stories I've heard.
I thing I sometimes thing about is that university departments were still doing job interviews in hotel rooms in the mid aughts

And I mean, I have plenty of stories about being treated like I can't know what I'm doing because I'm a woman. Or men thinking I must be the DBA's secretary.
But it's the stories where I was stuck in a room full of men making it clear women are not actual people to them that really left a mark.

How much of this is that all these professions take the power law of compensation to an extreme, where actually pay is low for most participants. But top actors and athletes have long had "there but for the grace of God go I" experiences while authors can delude themselves more about meritocracy?
if it had been left up to the companies, today we’d culturally perceive both acting and professional sports as low paying jobs for people so devoted to their hobby that they’re willing to sacrifice financial stability to do it full time—pretty much how we treat book authors now tbh

i think online gambling is a cancer that is spreading throughout our society, it was a horrible mistake to de-regulate it, and we desperately need to crack down on it again
i can’t talk about sports gambling anymore without sounding like a crank but i do believe legalized sports gambling is like 15-20% responsible for our current dystopia
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

truly it is a mystery why women find it hard to get ahead in academia
"I could be a mentor to this very sharp person but as they aren't interested in me romantically I'm going to have to cut off all communication with them."
"Also, only men get the best mentors like me who can help them get into top journals. Clearly that's because men have higher IQ than women."
