The replies to this were... something. Thanks dudes, you've fully convinced me that this field isn't toxic one bit, and that toxicity has absolutely nothing to do with the gender ratio, which definitely doesn't need to be improved, not at all. Brilliant demonstration by example.https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/1065377414857973761 …
Sadly not surprised. The kind of trolling I am still receiving for #protestNIPS is far worse than what I expected (and I did expect). I have had to delete numerous comments from my YouTube videos, block on Twitter, report personal attacks on @mxlearn Feel hopeless

Lots of hate out there. Sorry to hear. Please keep speaking up, and don't read the comments. Thank you for what you've been doing.

And thank you for speaking out and being an ally! I agree we need to keep speaking out, and there is no other way. But we should also demand more accountability from all social media platform in removing trolls and hatred. Currently they have a free rein to the detriment of all

that's so awful :( so they do this from their ordinary accounts, revealing name, etc?

Nope. All trolls are anonymous. What more can you expect from these cowards? I am all for respectful dialogue and difference in opinions. But this is very different. I know other women like Amie Wilkinson had to get off social media after alt-right started attacking her

Well done on your campaign. I had to enlighten my colleagues on why I would never attend a conference called NIPS. It didn't take them long to get it thankfully. At first they didn't see what the issue was "because men have nipples too."

Trolling cannot take away your achievement which should inspire all STEM communities that suffer from the issue (ergo almost all) for exactly this "selfish motive" of making our professional life less civilly substandard !

Please stop accusing men of your misery. We are not evil we are just different; we follow different horizons. To exemplify women are less interested in tech and men are less interested in cuisine. It is the way it is and it's no one's fault.
