I am a daily bike commuter in Berlin. I think dickish people are evenly spread on all transportation modes. Difference is, dickish car drivers kill people, dickish biciclists don't. There has been 9 deaths of biciclists in Berlin in 2017[1] so there is definetely a reason for higher identifiability for car drivers.

Sorry, I was not aware that Sabine is not obvious in english. The picture in the top right could also have been a hint.

It is not about it being "100% woman" but about "male" being the default. I think it is telling that the assumption seems to be physics -> male. If this would have been about social issues or fashion, maybe the people would have checked before assuming male gender?

I don't say it does not happen to me too, but if it happens, I think it is good to raise awareness.

How comes you both assume the author is male? She is called Sabine Hossenfelder.

A greek director also made a movie based a very similar idea http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1859446/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Also check out his newer movies like The Lobster... really good movies!

Yes.

Hannover - Hannoveraner

Bremen - Bremer (regular might be Bremener like Essen - Essener)

Jena: People who live there are "Jenaer", people who are born there are "Jenenser".
