  1. This argument that inviting more women would "lower quality" is sad I also think it’s a completely unproven claim, backed with no data: if "talent" is homogeneous among academics, inviting more women won’t change the average quality 1/3 @cubel_maria/1170404675352444928

      I don’t have data myself to claim that "talent" is homogeneous. I do have anecdotal evidences though, and they suggest that you can find loads of talented people in all sort of institutions – "top" as "non-top", as an academic career is quite of a stochastic process. 2/3

        Last but no least, "talent" (and its super noisy proxy, resume) is also endogenous: education, who you interact with in your department, the opportunities given to you, etc. have a huge impact (ceteris paribus). 3/3
