Do you really believe that male scientists are so much more meritorious than female scientists that only one out of 19 makes the grade? Furthermore, can you be so sure about your measure of merit that you are able to confidently rank the field and tell who is the 19th and who is the 20th? Finally, there is no need to insult a member of the CCL community - I suggest you apologize.

Heaven forbid we actually live in a meritocracy. If you provide a list of females who should be exalted due to accomplishments, I'm sure the organizers of the Workshop would be interested. Otherwise, you need to provide what you believe is an acceptable list that is representative of the 26 genders you and your comrades have chosen to be fashionable. Jim Kress -
