I take a wee bit of extra pride in the success of #MeTooSTEM activism, because I made a call to arms the winter with exactly that question. In doing so, I revealed my own experience of harassment, violence, and gaslighting.https://www.newsweek.com/science-metoo-moment-788347 …

I also wrote about my experiences in @TheStranger, and specifically talked about being harassed by Cliff Mass after giving legislative testimony. Reminder: retaliation is a guarantee when you come forward about abuse it. And that's a fact from @theNASEM.https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2017/11/17/25572044/the-culture-of-harassing-and-demeaning-women-scientists …

And I wrote about the continuation of these ideas in @sciam, specifically regarding Dr. Ford, white women, palatability, and believability. "We might be pleasing, but we are not safe."https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/voices/keeping-women-safe-is-a-radical-act/ …

I have also, at great personal risk, blown the whistle on a case of serial abuse within the neuroscience community. This story is ongoing, but at the very least now student are safe.https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/david-sweatt-vanderbilt-sexual-assault-allegation …

And, again at great personal sacrifice, I wrote about Dan Savage's himpathic coverage and problematic responses to the allegation of Dave Meinert's abuse here in Seattle.https://crosscut.com/2018/08/how-himpathy-marginalizes-women-metoo …
