%ATTRACTIVE SCIENTIST FEMALE SEX INTIMACY OBJECTIVE 910504

     Scientists have a particularly hard time dealing with
the phenomena of sex discrimination because scientists are
committed  to  being objective as much of the time  as  is
possible; all the time being best.  Thus scientists have a
difficult  time  dealing with reflexive  situations,   and
prefer to avoid having to deal with reflexive situations.

     One way  to  avoid  having  to  deal  with  reflexive
situations is to avoid the presence of sexually attractive
people;  for all sexual attractions,  desires,  fantasies,
visions,  and behaviors are reflexive in character.    For
the  male dominated scientific professions the best way to
avoid  the  the  most  reflexive  situations  is  to  keep
sexually attractive females out of professional scientific
roles.    This  will  make it  unnecessary  to  deal  with
reflexive  situations with other people who are  committed
to  avoiding reflexive situations.   The embarrassment  of
failing to be objective can thus be avoided.

     To  avoid  the  appearance  of   sex  discrimination,
scientists  can permit non-sexually attractive females  to
gain  entry into professional scientific roles;  for it is
the  sexually  attractive  females who  are  the  greatest
threat to objectivity.

     In dealing with the appearance of sex  discrimination
and with the absence of females in scientific professions,
scientists  have  a difficult time.    They cannot  freely
discuss the reflexive considerations which are central  to
the  absence  of  sexually  attractive females  in   their
professions;   for such discussions would violate the code
of objective conduct, violate the unspeakable taboos.

     Scientists tend to see all situations  which  involve
difficulties as problematic situations;  i.e., as problems
which   can  be  analyzed  and  solved  through  technical
procedures.  Their dilemma with sexual discrimination is a
dilemma  which they see as a problematic  situation,   and
they  seek to create and carry out programs and procedures
by  which to attract females into  their  profession---yet
being  careful  to  avoid attracting  sexually  attractive
females   into   their  profession;   doing   so   without
talking   about   their  unspeakable  taboos   about   the
professional dangers of reflexive relationships.

     The sexually discriminative scientists' dilemma is to
find  a way to deal with their reflexive dilemmas  without
being  honestly  reflective  about  the  nature  of  their
dilemma;   i.e.,   by  keeping  to  purely  objective  and
technical manipulative procedures.

     It   is   difficult  to  attract   females   into   a
manipulative profession,    by   the   use  of   technical
manipulative  procedures.         The   more   perceptive,
thoughtful    and   creative   females   will   experience
aversive    reactions   to  the   kinds    of    technical
manipulative  procedures   which sexually   discriminative
scientists are  likely to try  to use.     The technically
manipulative  procedures  will not generate attractors  to
the profession which will work.

     Scientists need to become honest with themselves  and
others  to  transcend  their  addictions  to  objectivity,
research  and  technocratic procedures.   If they  do  not
become  honest  with themselves and others  and  transcend
their addictions they will continue to contribute in major
ways  to  the  disintegrative  tendencies  of  our  modern
technocratic  society  with  its  addictions  to  military
responses to global dilemmas.
