Sorry I'm late to the party (AGAIN.)<br /><br />Depending on one's field and what one's home department looks like, getting together with a group of women at conferences (as Susan suggests above) might be your only opportunity to talk to so many women in your field at one time. That's not the case with me any longer, thank goodness--but quite frankly, I'm not sure what male colleagues have to offer me <i>as men</i> (as opposed to "as colleagues"), whereas women's experiences in academia seem to have so much more in common. <br /><br />It's too bad I blew my own cover by starting a blog clearly linked to my RL identity, but I would have loved to have published an edited collection of stories from every woman in academia who had an affair with a professor early on in her career or were sexually harassed by someone (or both! Lucky gals.) I can't tell you how many women have this common experience in their intellectually formative years, whereas I don't think it's common among men at all.<br /><br />Historiannhttp://historiann.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648409483330236099.post-89636440728030719452015-11-09T11:31:00.079-08:002015-11-09T11:31:00.079-08:00YES! I so value my women friends -- and it's ...YES! I so value my women friends -- and it's becoming clear that we need each other. A conference I go to has a regular dinner of "women who dine (and drink) well", and at an upcoming conference, a friend said, "I need an evening with women."<br /><br />This is probably related to the data that women perceive gender as more of an issue as they get older.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716705206734059708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648409483330236099.post-31109666054201038672015-11-09T11:12:43.442-08:002015-11-09T11:12:43.442-08:00As one of your newer friends, I can say this: you ...As one of your newer friends, I can say this: you have very quickly become that futher-down-the-road friend for me. I met you, what early July? And now when I have something that needs an academic friend's ear - I know I can come to you. So THANK YOU for not just saying this, but modeling it too!! And thank you for your friendship!Sarah Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419828131574899643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648409483330236099.post-76137735722507729312015-11-08T17:55:12.439-08:002015-11-08T17:55:12.439-08:00I cannot agree more.

I tend to get lonely without activities outside work. We spend a good amount of time together at the office -- especially since I team teach 2/3 of my load. But it's not the same as outside work time. Fie upon this quiet life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12047096700049201873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648409483330236099.post-42589981191286707702015-11-08T15:26:07.233-08:002015-11-08T15:26:07.233-08:00Aww, It was great to catch up!
