So, yeah, women doing #scicomm periodically have to deal with this. Not just women, but people of color, LGBTQ+, any marginalized group, deals with this kind of harassment online.
So, if you think it's all smiles and roses doing #scicomm or being very public, it isn't. It comes with a price, because although we're making progress, society is still sexist and misogynistic.
But despite the negatives I have I deal with as a woman, I keep doing it *anyway*. You know why? If I can somehow effect change in someone's life, make them see how cool physics is and demystify it for just *one person*, that's worth *way too much* to give it up.
I am doing my PhD in cosmology, I do have funky hair and love to dress up sometimes. And I live for #scicomm. I'm gonna keep trying to figure dark matter out, with my funky hair, occasional makeup,with *all* that comes with me. This is what physicists look like. We're a spectrum.
He is using sex as a means of power over her, and her expertise. This isn't low self esteem and insecurity, this is sexism, it is misogyny, and it is inexcusable behavior normalized by stupid excuses.
Labelling misogyny "misogyny" is the way forward. A step in the right direction. Bring in denial is where madness lies, literally. Like denying this is sexist abuse is exactly how you harm yourself.
