Abstract	"The majority of evidence is that women are socially and structurally disadvantaged in science, which, combined with the socially-ascribed undesirability of women scientists at an identity level, an institutional level, and a societal level, reduces their interest in being scientists.; The effort to correct gender bias against women by overproportionally hiring women creates a new gender bias at the micro level as some individual men have seen their access to the field reduced. lt is difficult to teil an individual man that his male privilege is gone.; In my assessment, the macro-level is the fundamental problem, because that exerts continuous invisible pressure on the meso and micro levels where the policies, habits, and action are. We can change policies, habits, and actions of individuals, but until the assumptions of male superiority are gone, these will be compensations and not lasting solutions.; One measure that is not helpful is the requirement that committees have a certain gender proportion. Especially in areas where women are scarce, requirements that women overproportionally serve on committees, on the assumption that only women are able to notice the special qualities of women candidates, is offensive to men and creates an enormous burden an women."
