First time viewer here - fantastic interview, and thank you for keeping this discussion going! Its so sad to hear about Sabine's experiences, but not surprising. The continued discrimination, commercialization and enshittification of the "academic world" has been a severe blow to humanity.

The use of "enshitification" is new to me. Mind if I use that?

Perhaps in Sabine's case that was true. However, there are many reasons why people get jobs in academia. It may simply be that the other candidates had different qualifications or experiences, or, are better known. It is not always a simple matter of discrimination. I would say in most cases today a woman would be employed over a man, especially a white male. "Social pressure" is too soft to use as a description for theses social realities. A different situation exists: One may really have to explain why the woman candidate is not chosen in many cases. People are looking out for their own jobs. In any event, there are many women in high positions in academia, and there are many inequities such as health care options for adjuncts. Do women play a part in theses academic equities today, since they comprise such a large proportion of the high level positions? I can remember sitting in a faculty room with a lady with a Masters from MIT, and she was not offered an academic position from another woman who was currently the department head. Sometimes people don't want to be outshined. In philosophy, one must always be skeptical: I would not jump to a quick PC answer. Thank you for the channel.

That's a fair point. Of course, part of being sceptical is being open to differing points of view without labelling them as PC or the like. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it.

@@RahulSam What I mean is that this philosopher in this case is jumping to an institutionalized view that is much more accepted and condoned. Please check out the work of Dr Cory Clark. It is quite a different take. And, sorry for the offense if any was taken by using the term "PC". But, she is falling back on an idea, while sometimes true, is not always true. And, that sense of humility is important for fairness. My apologies for the typos, since it is hard for me to see now that I am older. Cheers
