    I was 32 and my first novel hadn’t come out yet. I was invited to a dinner and sat next to him. I disagreed with him on a minor point. He shouted the word “rape” in my face to prove his. It was completely bizarre, disproportionate, and violent. https://twitter.com/zinziclemmons/status/992299032562229248?s=21 …

        The dinner just got worse from there. I’ve never experienced such virulent misogyny. Every point I made—ABOUT issues women face in publishing—he made a point of talking over me, cutting me off, ignoring me to talk to the other (male) scifi writer at the table, who played along.

        What’s so ironic is that I was making a point about how my piece had been rejected by @NewYorker & I’d never be able to tell whether it was bc of bias or not. The same @NewYorker that just paid him to write his long attempt-at-exculpating essay.

        I read that piece and thought: Did no one at @NewYorker think to ask him what “I hurt people” might mean? Fucking really? In this era?

        He didn’t physically assault me. But shouting the word “rape” in my face after knowing me for maybe ten minutes is absolutely verbal sexual assault. I left that dinner halfway through. And I’d sat down so excited to meet one of my literary heroes.

        Ever since, I’ve kept an ear out for stories similar to mine. There are many. They are worse.

        And now I imagine we’ll find out how long @mit_cmsw knew about it, and did nothing.

        Thank you. So many people idolize him. It’s all I can do not to tell them everything on the spot.
