People keep asking me why I don’t want to come back to Russia after finishing my research project in US.
Here is a substantial part of the answer. I want to live in a place where I am regarded as a human being.
More fun stuff:
“As it it is said, chicken is not a bird and woman is not a human being” – I.V.Ivannikov.
.
And more “fun” from my times in Moscow State University:
Teacher (to me, before the start of quantum mechanics exam): “Why does such a pretty girl with such long eyelashes have to work so hard to study quantum mechanics? You’ll get married anyway!”
“Homework for female students: write an essay on the book “How to speak and listen to a child” by Y.Gippenreyter, homework for male students: write an essay on any psychology book you choose.“
And more and more and more. Every day and everywhere.
A reminder that even as we still have ways to go, this where we’d be without the progress we’ve already made.
