      After more than a decade of teaching/researching/writing about pandemics, and after months of writing academic and popular articles about this pandemic that I proudly stand behind, and have more than stood the test of time, I still get random white dudes telling me this.🙄https://twitter.com/Simon_Veldt/status/1270433204764389376 …

      As is writing in the middle of a pandemic for an audience of millions with a self-proclaimed authority about subjects which aren't within your field of expertise. For many many months. You should practice what you preach.

      I don't normally highlight these, but imagine what if, instead of writing maybe the earliest mainstream article explaining need to "flatten the curve" and also one on the need for masks due to asymptomatic spread, I had made a human mistake or two. There'd be packs of vultures.

      I'm highlighting this one partly because, yeah, I'm sitting pretty comfortably on my own track record right now. But imagine what these packs of vultures would do if they found the slightest issue to peck at. I get these *all the time* and they don't even have a wound to peck at.

      To be a woman in the public sphere is like this: everyday people are out to undermine your confidence and get you to give up, to tell you to sit it out. No track record can keep them off, and again, if heaven forbid there is a mistake (which happens!), they descend in packs.

      So sad that exceptional talents like you have to go through this. Even more sad are the other exceptional talents we'll never know about because they're women and people of color who can't endure it.

          So sad most women, not just exceptional women, have to go through this.

          You didn't discuss it with me, nor did you ask a question. You just published this over my head calling me a "random white guy" and a "vulture" which is an objectification, sexism and racism in one sentence. All this to destract from the subject matter.http://technosociology.org/?page_id=1651

          She's lying when she says she's written about pandemics for a decade. Look at her CV. She may be an exceptional talent, but has little or no expertise in this field.
