Good timing too because I just wrote a thank you note to my two committee co-chairs a couple weeks ago for being uber-supportive and never treating me differently because I'm a woman. This was all prompted by my experience during the Philippine elections this year when the head of the organization we were working with told us that "women are weak-minded and feeble," so even though it was MY project and I was in charge, he only wanted to deal with my male colleagues. Anyway, I should've put you and Mark on that thank you email too (although there was a bit of dissertation update in the email too and I wouldn't want to bore more people than I have to, haha). The only downside to the fact that I've been incredibly lucky having you guys as mentors is the fact that I go around expecting to be treated the way you guys treat me, so I'm often unpleasantly surprised when these kinds of things happen. :)Cesihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165160510017040017noreply@blogger.com
