Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!

I don't think one of you is right over the other. I think a lot of factors outside of gender play into the research grant process...

^^ agree. I don't think you can boil it down to just one factor
