Sexual harassment rattles women's confidence and makes them feel like they an outsider in the profession with everyone they interact-not just the harasser. And this kind of "innocent query" sums up why economics is a more hostile profession for women than many others.https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1074321349303328768 …

You interpret my question as pro-harassment?! Perhaps this context will help: http://www.overcomingbias.com/2018/12/metoo-in-a-star-is-born.html …

Your followers are not a random sample. Have you looked at the data? My guess is that they are overwhelmingly male. Now if your only point is that in the abstract people have clearer views than in the specific. That is definitely ok and true:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A87gS_cWLXI …

I'm happy to see others ask similar questions to other audiences. It is cheaper for me to ask my convenience sample. Yes specific & abstract views differ, though thats not the only data feature of interest. But I'm irked by your knee jerk presumption that my Qs r pro-harassment.

It's not an assumption, its how I and many others experience it. We keep telling you that, so if you are only trying to communicate why don't you change your behavior given the feedback if you don't want to be harassing?

Is the behavior change that you are suggesting to not ask people what behavior they think is okay, because they might get the wrong ideas or give the wrong answers? Are you saying that my asking such questions is itself harassment!?

You know I'm not. As a behavioral scientist you know you are dealing with humans who interpret the framing of your questions and actual language used to interpret the surveyor's normative view. Most people also update when they get information about how they are communicating.

So your complaint is that when given 4 options by Twitter in a poll, your favorite option wasn't highlighted as one of the 4, instead of being lumped in other options in one of the 4? It is harassment by me not to give your personal favorite answer that level of attention?

It is obvious in the way you write, & the way you talk about these ideas, & your smug-sounding tone, that you are unable to empathize with being sexualized in nonsexual circumstances: it is demeaning and psychologically harmful. To insinuate this could be OK, I think is wrong.
