This post from FSP pretty much sums it all up.
What I didn't mention in my earlier post was my plan B, quitting. I don't like to acknowledge that I sometimes risk ending up as a statistic, another woman who couldn't 'make it' in science.
Posts like this from trail-blazers with a conscience make me think it's OK to want to prove the #($*!ers wrong.
You can't change a system sitting on the outside.

I read some of your blog for the first time today. Sorry to hear you are having a rough time. I hope you don't give up on mainstream academia.
Amen, sistah!
Hang in there. Ultimately it's still a personal choice, and some days I'm not sure it's enough, but I'm all about proving the fuckers wrong.
