Why is sexual harassment pervasive in academia? In part, because professors defend rape culture & cry academic freedom.

Oh wow, this article is truly dreadful in so, so many ways. It is also pretty enraging that she compares fight against rape to McCarthyism.
-
Author bio says tht she likes to challenge received wisdom, but I cannot think of anything more establishment than reinforcing rape culture.
-
Yes to all this! Infuriating to see her argue that policies & protests to protect against sexual assault on campus is "infantalising women."

Ugggh. Reminds me of this gem, from the same school of thought, I guess: https://groups.oist.jp/president/event/woman-science-prof-mary-collins …pic.twitter.com/yJq4lgicWz

Oh my goddess - this is Tim Hunt's wife!!! ARRRRGH. No wonder she supported him as a "victim" of women.
Her talk in Japan. His in Seoul.
-
I've clicked & found it. Add that to Hunt's recent Starmus comments and I'm angry all over again that anyone doubted the South Korea furore.
-
I know, right? Clearly feels he can, and should, do more damage.
-
I think he's oblivious to the impact of his words. He is a great scientist but is also a liability re women and science.

Seen this? I'm swayed by argument: "If you find out someone is [doing harm] their work is not good." TW harassment: https://medium.com/@violetblue/but-he-does-good-work-6710df9d9029 …

His scientific work can live or die on its own merits. Doing harm is always a different matter: it's always on you, I think
-
Or to put that another way: whatever the value of his scientific work, it's not the point. Except insofar as it has empowered him to do harm

Barf barf barf. I find her so frustrating. Not to mention simplistic and, well, kinda dumb.
-
We've been here (Camille Paglia early 90s) - it's not "edgy" to blame women. Grrr! (PS not dumb [avoiding ableism] but dangerous certainly!)
-
You're right, I'm sorry for my use of the term. I of course remembered this was ableist after using. I'm sorry.

Are you telling me I didn't fail you, by not including the 'how to marry a Nobel Laureate' lecture in your PhD training?
