"Women should know better" is a consistent theme throughout history.

Mothers are the parent most often blamed for their children's misbehavior.

Women are blamed for their husband's ill behavior.

Even when women are harmed by others, they are blamed for their harm.

And while everyone carries this knowledge in their head conciously or unconciously,
this belief that women should know better,
the part never uttered but implied, is that women should know better THAN MEN.

So is everyone on the same page that men are a lesser gender, too
Dull to equally know as much as women?
We should not be coy about vocalizing the complete sentence, if we are expectant of women to somehow be more superior in knowledge compared to men.
Are we acknowledging that women are superior in intellect, quicker to grasp information,
More likely to perform effectively, and act with strategy and not impulse?

Are we acknowledging that men are poor at processing information, lack the ability to strategize, lack self control control and are generally poor at making appropriate decisions effectively?
If we are going to dump more responsibility on the heads of women, then we cannot be silent about why we are doing so.
We are all aware that in an organizational structure, the person everyone relies on, and is expected to perform more effectively than others, is the team leader.
The person is chosen because they have shown an ability to perform in situations where others sit idly.

If this expectation falls on the heads of women, then women have earned the right to be perceived as leaders in every avenue where that occurs.

By not acknowledging this,
We have incorrectly assumed automatic leadership to a gender based on insufficient evidence.

Simply just being born male, implies leadership which is illogical.

The gender excused for less input and laziness is given consolatory titles not earned by work, but because of
A patriarchal society.

And it is a shame that too many men are too stupid to be aware of how embarrasing that is.

You show no leadership in any category of your life, but still puff up your chest to claim the title that someone else working tirelessly actually deserves.
And women, you are brainwashed into working tirelessly to support and conceal the inefficient leadership from the men you pair with.

The sooner we stop accepting that we automatically have a harder life because we are women, and start acknowledging that more is expected from
Us perhaps because we are simply...better, the sooner we will fight to be acknowledged appropriately for our contributions.
The quicker we will quit working disproportionately for no recognition.

We are forcefed by constant calls to be humble about our contributions and who
We are, because as women, it is important in this society, that we learn reduce ourselves.

How else will our accomplishments be usurped by someone working less than us?
How else will we accept secondary position for primary work?

If reading this thread angers you,
And if you believe that women are not superior to men, then prove it by expecting less from women.

Prove it by assigning blame squarely to men for their behavior.
Prove it by not expecting more from your daughters than you do your sons.
Prove it by judging fathers the same
Way you do mothers.
Prove it by not excusing ridiculous behavior in men, no more using "boys will be boys" to deflect from troubling behavior exhibited by adolescent to fully grown males.
Prove it by earning your leadership role in the home, by doing MORE in all categories.
Prove it by equally sharing domestic/child care work.

Prove it not by depending on patriarchy's illogical favorable bias towards males and instead depending on merit as a way to judge leadership.

Prove it.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.

We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.

Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)

It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.

Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
