In case anyone is curious about gender representation in primatology: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0030458
"Although in 15 years [pre-2012] the proportion of female primatologists increased from the 38% of the early 1990s to the 57% of 2008, Primatology is far from being an “equal-opportunity” discipline, & suffers the “glass ceiling” as all the other scientific disciplines examined.
"In fact, even if Primatology does attract more female students than males, at the full professor level male members significantly outnumber females."
"Male-organized symposia have half the number of female first authors (29%) that symposia organized by women (64%) or by both men and women (58%) have, and half that of female participation in talks and posters (65%)." https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0049682
"We found a similar gender bias from men in symposia from the past 12 annual meetings of the American Society of Primatologists. The bias is surprising given that women are the numerical majority in primatology and have achieved substantial peer recognition in this discipline."
"Since 1985, the number of doctoral degrees awarded by US anthro departments increased from 350 to 530 per year [and] the number of female doctorates increased to a point that now there are two female PhD graduates in anthro for every male." https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0202528
"Although gender equity has greatly improved in recent decades, especially since 1999, males continue to be disproportionately hired into tenure-track positions [in anthropology]."
