Whoa whoa, cut the snark there at the end. Are you being serious right now? jleopold can't control that there are problems for women in publishing. He can't. His first comment really just seems like he's expressing frustration for not being taken seriously by peers and teachers. This isn't a pissing contest about who can make less money and be less successful.

I'm a woman in STEM and I know that I will probably be paid and appreciated less than my male peers when I'm on the job market. That doesn't mean I go up to male grad students and be like "HAVE FUN MAKING MORE MONEY THAN ME ASSHOLE".
