Physicists do not have a technical solution for their predicament regarding how to handle and control females as colleagues. They try to pretend that all situations can be handled without emotion and passion, but having females around makes that pretense more difficult to maintain. They find it difficult to relate to females objectively, especially if they find the females to be personally attractive. They find it easier to handle and control females that are not personally attractive, and such females tend to be among the few who are encouraged to remain in the physics profession as token symbols of physicists' efforts to be unbiased as regards sex. Physicists are into understanding, predicting and controlling. It is hard to understand, predict or control personally attractive females or personal relationships with personally attractive females. Sexual relationships are not objective relationships; and physicists have been trained to handle only objective relationships. Their training does not prepare them to deal creatively with intimate personal relationships in which objectivity is not the essential feature of the relationship. Participants in any collusion are on the defensive to overcome threats to the apparent integrity of their collusion. Personally attractive females are a threat to the apparent integrity of the physicists' paradigm. It is hard to maintain the pretense that the paradigm is comprehensive and powerful for all circumstances, when one is distracted from devotion to the paradigm by women who attract personal attention. To protect the objectivity of their paradigm physicists find ways to discourage personally attractive females from becoming physicists. By and large they are very successful in their effort, more successful than are other scientists. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
