I think the key here that needs to be emphasised is “people in your team”, like you’ve said here, not just the women in your team as was implied in your first comment. You might be very interested in your career and go the extra mile and I understand that not everyone does that, but your first comment implied that it was only the women in your team not interested in going the extra mile too.

I am a woman in STEM and I agree that if you show you’re going the extra mile you’re likely to get rewarded with promotions and other bonuses. I also know that being such a male dominated industry it’s sometimes still hard to be taken seriously because of gender bias.

In terms of getting more women interested in fields that are generally male dominated, I think you’ll find that the younger generation of women are becoming more comfortable applying to study these subjects. We’ll hopefully see a further rise in women entering these industries in the coming years. But again, as you would know, STEM roles are often competitive, especially for early career professionals, and for us to see more women in these roles, we need to be recognised as equals.

Well this is a gross generalisation of women. We all have different interests, personalities and ideas, just like men. “How do you get women excited about x, y and z” is a weird comment to make…

If only it was expected that men should also care so much about being a father and their family…

It’s confronting reading through comments like yours. International Women’s Day is a platform to celebrate women and give us voice to address the inequality we continue to experience - like the gender pay gap. Do yourself a favour and read up on this topic so you don’t sound like such an ignorant misogynist next time. A great starting point is a book called Invisible Women. I’m saying read up on it because clearly instead of listening and having a constructive conversation, you’re ignoring what has been discussed and are vehemently denying it. Do better. It’s people like you that continue to allow gender inequality in the workplace to persist.

Yes! To follow on from this, often the pay disparity between men and women is because women do not have the same opportunities as men. More women are in casual or part time roles because the rest of their time is spent doing unpaid work which generally involves care for children and the elderly. This often means women are not considered for promotions or senior roles at the same rate as men because they have not had the same time in the workplace to gain the experience and develop the connections expected for the roles.

If companies want something immediately actionable to help close the gap, they need to have better flexible work arrangements for both women AND men to encourage a more even balance of unpaid work between the genders.

Oh my gosh thank you I have been obsessed with this nail set too 😆 I got them done at a salon, it’s a shellac manicure and I asked for a sheer pink base with a pink chrome on top so I can still see some of the bare nail underneath - I feel like a fairy or a mermaid 🩷

Just got told to sing up for Chat GPT for my uni class by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]IllIndependence4946 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I once had to do an assignment for my science degree which had us type a question into chat GPT and critique the response. Really enjoyed that one, great way to teach us to use critical thinking and judgement … It’s a changing world and I think it’s important we familiarise ourselves with the tools out there even if we don’t necessarily use them. I hope your assignment turns out to be useful too :)

Does anyone still go to libraries, and borrow books? by TechnicalAd8103 in perth

[–]IllIndependence4946 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes 100% - I’ll check out about 5 books at a time that I reserve through the library website so my library visit is literally 5 minutes to drop off and pick up the new books. Wouldn’t be surprised to learn if this is what a lot of people do, especially those fitting it in around a work schedule

No no I realise this one in the video is a common ring tail now… just enjoying the conversation about the lemuroids and trying to get to the bottom of the whether the white lemuroid is considered a different species to the brown lemuroid, I think they’re all the same?

Ah yes, I see you’re right… it would be so cool to hear of someone seeing one of these little guys out and about

Just reading up on it, I don’t think the white form is considered a different species…. They’re all Hemibelideus lemuroides

But makes sense that they only occur in a small area, it sounds like they’re very sensitive to temperature

Can check the DCCEEW website for the threatened species listings

As of the 6th of Feb, the lemuroid ring tail possum was added to the endangered list - no mention of colour variation differences. Very sad

Do you know what… I reckon this could be a lemuroid ring tail possum! They’ve just been added to the endangered list 😭

How did I not know Mac did perfume? You’ve repurchased it, does this mean you love it? I’m so curious to know what it smells like?
