Euler's List.

Euler's work touched upon so many fields that he is often the earliest written reference on a given matter. In an effort to avoid naming everything after Euler, some discoveries and theorems are attributed to the first person to have proved them after Euler.

Reading behavior is also tied to gender: female respondents report having read male and female authors, with a slight preference for the former. Male respondents mainly report to have read male authors. The men who do read female authors, give higher scores to their novels than female respondents do; female respondents give lower average scores to works by female authors than male respondents. The idea that more female judges would benefit female authors, is thus most likely incorrect. Respondents were also asked to motivate one rating of a novel. Again, there are differences between female and male authors — even when I only isolate the female respondents. The first are judged according to content, the second to structural and formal characteristics.

Door dit onjuiste verhaal te blijven vertellen en de hoofdrolspelers een gender te geven (spermacel is mannelijk, eicel is vrouwelijk), versterkt het oude stereotype beeld van de zwakke ‘damsels in distress’ en hun sterke, mannelijke redders. Zoals Martin benadrukt: doordat deze stereotypen nu worden toegeschreven op het niveau van de cel, lijkt het net alsof ze biologisch bepaald en dus onveranderbaar zijn.
