In my opinion, sexual discrimination is still part of the world. It will get better as time goes on, but healthy man would be more preferred than anyone else. I try to accept that life is unfair, so I should deal with it. But whenever I see young talented female Ph.Ds leave for teaching, writing or administrative jobs rather than research positions in order to support her family (children rearing and two body problems), therefore leaving the opportunities to other male collegues, who stay 5-6 years or even longer in post-doc positions as they luckly have fully supportive wives, I feel very sad, and something wrong. Even worse is when I overheard professors saying they like to support candidate A as he is responsible for his family (therefore, he would be more serious in doing his job) than candidate B who is a single woman, I feel raged. Even worst, these things are happening in so-called top-teer institutes, and unfortunately I haven't seen any female professor with a child in my field in those T-T institutions yet.
