A dot point list would have made this more readable. Just saying.

It may be in a scientific paper, but this is more of an anecdote about the various issues the author encountered, rather than something intended to be actionable and clearly delineated as you’d expect in the body of a scientific article. Therefore a more literary style is appropriate for this section.

My mental model is that bullet points are for when you expect a reader to go over the points with a highlighter, prose for when you want to produce an emotional response. This feels more like the latter.

Never let the actions of others dictate your future. If you have a goal never never give up.

Yes yes, intelligent woman be intimidating to some people.

But how old is this, is it still that bad? The "computer girl" could be around 2000.

But surely equality has been achieved in the last few months, this all feels so very January. People are so much more open minded now than in those dark days of the past. Why waste time even discussing such outdated attitudes that totally and completely disappeared in February and are certain to never return?!

Normalise this. In the past women would have been accused of being unprofessional to have called men out like this. That's the only reason why every woman doesn't do it.

Fuck these misogynistic pigs, idiots like these need to be called out more often. It's too bad she couldn't give names out and completely humiliate and ruin them.

Only if the accusations are true. It is just a post on the internet, there is no proof any of this is true or factual. Don't be in such a hurry to harm others and damage their lives.

A bit more, this is a chapter from a PhD thesis

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

We should absolutely ruin their lives. Fuckem

As a woman, and having known many other women, I can promise you that none of what is mentioned is particularly far fetched. It's sad, but we all have multiple stories like this. Almost any woman could put together a similar paragraph of incidents she has personally experienced.

Edit to add: she didn't even name anyone! No one is harmed, except the people who know they should be ashamed of themselves.

As a man I'd have never believed how common such behavior is. I'd have thought that's really outlandish.

Now I've gone through the (probably stereotypical) process of a guy having a daughter, she's an adult now.

What she told me - no, all this stuff isn't unusual at all. The first time she was afraid (and called me as she already had a phone of her own) she was not even 10 years old, riding her bike from my place to the ex-wife's place, teenage boys catcalling her.

There's a lot of us men around who find it hard to believe, because it doesn't happen to US. But it does. Frequently.

As the husband of a woman with a PhD, let me assure you that I have witnessed several of these first hand when I travel with her to conferences.
