I really don't like this argument because I think it creates more
distance between men and women scientists than there already is.  Even
if it's true, it's counterproductive to talk about it.  What I really
believe is that different PEOPLE do science differently and one cannot
lump all members of an entire gender in one category.  I think most
women are less competitive than most men due to social conditioning, but I
know some women who are more cut-throat than almost all the men I know.

If you read Keller carefully she doesn't really say this.  Another
good source is "The Outer Circle", I believe the authors are Zuckerman
and Cohen.

In my field, women I look to for support include Mary Kennedy, Barbara
Finlay, Carla Shatz, Martha Constantine-Paton, and Susan Udin.
