But I question how much this situation is the result of her sex or her political disposition. After all, the same thing happens yearly to the vast majority of junior faculty in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and it happens with a wonderful degree of equality, i.e., regardless of the individual's sex, race, ideology or degree of talent.
