#ILookLikeAPhysicist is trending on Twitter

[Greg Bernhardt]

This is in addition to #ILookLikeAnEnineer

Isis Anchalee is a platform engineer at a company called OneLogin who appeared in a recruiting ad for her company. The ad sparked some sexist social media commentary from people who implied that this actual image of an actual woman who is an actual engineer was not a plausible "image of what a female engineer looks like." She launched the hashtag #ILookLikeAnEngineer in response to show that women who are also engineers look like ... women.

So now #ILookLikeAPhysicist has taken off. People posting photos of what Physicists really look like

Anyway, it's a nice initiative and feel free to contribute!

The tweets disappear so I couldn't see who posted this image. I thought that it was pretty humorous though.

There should be a twitter "ILookLikeTheMan".

I just can't wait for the feminists to finally give up and for people to study why fields are made up more of one sex than any other versus presupposing that because one is, such is because of sexism. Sad stuff.

You can't deny there is sexism in academia. Maybe it doesn't bother you so you don't notice it, but it is there.
