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.

And I don't have it worst! Read this on what black women in the public sphere routinely face. I usually get people to try to shut me up, but hers are not just about the usual death/rape threats, but specifically about violently destroying her brain.https://adanewmedia.org/2015/04/issue7-mcmillancottom/ …

Thank you! One big reason I can go occasionally go public like this is to remind people on behalf of those who cannot. I'm confident in my work, securely employed, and happy to stand on my record. But this stuff wears down people before they have a chance.https://twitter.com/kwerb/status/1270441377105694720 …

For most, it's a no win situation. You get undermined an unreasonable amount but if you highlight it, it looks whiny. If you ignore it, you get worn down. If you make a mistake, and a pack descends, you look defensive if you react. I can highlight because I don't have to care!

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.
