As a male scientist, I approve of this constant reaffirmation of my masculinity.

[–] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I dunno. "Man of science" has a really nice ring to it. ("Woman of Science" too.)

[–] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I agree! They both sound very prestigious.

They sound like they're probably working on some rayguns or tesla coils.

Come to Germany then.

German uses generic masculine grammatical gender and the state of Bavaria just banned the practice of "Gendern", meaning use both forms (male and female).

So you'd have to be referred to as male pretty much always.

They didn't ban the usage of both forms, they banned the usage of new forms, that try to combine masculine and feminine into a gender-neutral form, in administrative texts.

Nah, I'll just stay in Austria. xD

So you’re a man of science

Can I feel your bicep?

[–] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Sadly, no. My chest musculature is so enoumous that it completely envelops me. Kind of impractical in the lab sometimes, but that's the things you do for more testosterone.
