Comment on Dear Faith II

I have heard horror stories about how specific formatting has to be for a thesis or dissertation, though - and often those rules are very specific to a particular university or even department. So it’s also possible for rules like that to be local and not from a universal standard like the APA guide.

Eh, you’d be surprised at how far some people will go to criticize women in STEM fields. It’s not everyone, and I doubt it’s even a majority, but there’s enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if this is true.
Or maybe the OOP is a mathematical Lisa Frank. Idk

no denying that people criticize women in STEM (as a woman in STEM myself), but there are series of “dear Faith” email posts that collectively seem a bit unlikely in their tone and situation, which is what makes me think it’s more likely they’re fake than real
