I recently learned about another woman who had left her PhD program because all the men in her lab wouldn't stop hitting on her and harassing her.

This is not the first time I have heard a story like this.

I am not usually prone to fits of uncontrollable rage, but I have been fucking seething.

We need to do better.

@dan Have you read about the difference in success with #publishing #research papers in #journals when author names are redacted?

@caterinevauban @dan I've certainly heard about the difference in student ratings of teachers depending on what they perceived their gender to be.

@ariaflame @dan Oof, wow. I hadn't heard that one. 💔😒🤬 Sad to say that I do find it believable, though.

@caterinevauban @ariaflame @dan ugh it’s way worse than that. I’ve seen across 20 years (not me personally just other faculty), the continued comments about the physical appearance of women. At least I think they’ve gotten rid of the chili pepper at ratemyprofessor.com.
