Junior scholars often hate each other just because their genders are different.
Those with penis think they are playing an unfair game that favors those without penis because many job vacancies make it explicitly that only people without penis can apply for the vacancies. Even if the vacancies are open to people with penis and without penis, they quite often state that 'other things being equal, a person without penis will be elected' (not erected!).
However, these policies do not make all people without penis happy. Some resent that with the embodiment of this type of policies, the academia is still full of penises, which is suffocating for these people without penis. Whenever these people without penis visit an institute that has more then 50% of its faculty with penis, they resent that 'See, a penis-dominant institute!' They are so busy to label the faculty with 'having penis' and 'not having penis' that they don't even care what sort of talents or great personalities lie behind those penises. Just like some misogynists, they don't really care what's in people without penis's brain--not having a penis is itself sufficient enough to tell whether one is suitable for a serious academic job.
