People will always find a way to twist stuff one way or another. But in my ten years of doing research (much less than many in this thread) open science has been great to see gain momentum, totally a great thing.

But it naturally will attract bad actors. And we need to weed them out. That's all. I'm 100% for Open science. I didn't spend my phd (4+ years ago now time flies!) replicating computational models, begging for open source, and better research practises to give up now.

Yes, but let’s weed them out individually and directly! That’s harder to do, but looks much more encouraging and welcoming than talking down the whole movement.

Let's just disagree to disagree.

But I think we agree! I just don’t think it’s helpful to say that there is a general problem, because then we keep bad actors - which is what we all want to avoid!

I don't believe it's a few rogue bros. I think toxic masculinity and other toxic behaviours that we see like bullying stem from systemic social issues which intersect with science whether open or not and we need to be vigilant.

Maybe, but again, blanket statements don’t really help with this. I’m just quite worried that people will start using this as an excuse to dismiss valid criticism – criticism of the science != criticism of the scientist. (1/2)

Of course there is a problem if there is a bias in the criticism/whose science is criticised, but I haven’t seen this. (2/2)

TBH that's not what I think is the crux of the broism. I think it's a general toxic masculinity. Essentially I don't think it's a certain thing as easy as "men are targeting women". It's more nuanced.

But that’s what people have been shouting about over the last few days, right? That is what I just didn’t get!

It's an iceberg and they are correctly calling the tip "ice". I'm just saying it's much deeper than one or two rogue bros.
