    Re: Project Glass Ceiling

    Not really, since there's usually a good reason to start insulting someone. Of course, once the insults start then you get the usual "he sucks, shes ugly" crap.

      Re: Project Glass Ceiling

      I sent you a PM with the anekdote, Infinity. I hope it's satisfactory, although it's a story of apparant invalid positive discrimination, instead of one about apparant irrational prejudice.

            If you think that getting anonymous submissions from women to provide the bulk of a project that you are getting credit for isn't an ironic demonstration of the glass ceiling in action, I'm not sure what to tell you.

              feel free to take this to PM if you want me to explain it all, there's no place for it in this thread

              (since you aren't bringing it up, feel free to research feminist standpoint epistemology)

                          Desire for recognition seems to me to be a masculin trait.

                              Not feminism, but given what CBR had posted, I felt this fits the bill as well. If not, sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

                              I was ridiculed in a club I participated in for having Christian faith. Being in a group that was largely atheist, I was frequently referred to as "bible thumper" and was discredited in anything I said that contradicted anything the atheist majority said simply for my beliefs. Rarely were the topics even related to religion. The condescension was very intense and was not only allowed by the teaching staff club sponsor, but even encouraged in subtle ways. Whenever I tried to point out that my religion had nothing to do with the topic on hand, the teacher chimed in that belief represented weakness of mind, and thus, me being a Christian meant my dissenting opinions were also a result of this weakness of mind. It led to my eventual quitting of the extracurricular activity because I couldn't focus on the real topics knowing my contributions were going to be shot down and criticized as a result of my faith.

                              To give an idea of how it still effects me, there is at least one person from that group that casually visited this forum 5 years ago. I'm afraid to give too many details/clues about what group it was and who all was involved because I can't handle the results of it getting back to that group right now, given all of the other stress I have in my life.

                                this is honestly shocking to me -- "...that belief represented weakness of mind.." what

                                thanks for sharing, and i can relate from the other side.
