Haha, cute. I work in this industry. Literally none of my industry friends were surprised by news of Weinstein’s abuses. Not because they necessarily knew first-hand, but because it’s so commonplace and Weinstein is just the tip of the iceberg. Stating this fact does not in any way diminish the fact that more…

ohmygod. Terry Crews is one of my favorite people in entertainment. I hope this will be a wake up call for idiots who say to/of the female victims: “Why would you put yourself in a situation where you could be victimized?” or “Well, she should have been more aware of her surroundings/dress/the vibe she was giving…

Literally #yesallmen. Seriously I doubt there is one guy onthis planet by a certain age who hasnt made some trangression against women.

Is it bad that, in her position, I might feel even more skeeved out by the contamination/hygiene issues in the kitchen/restaurant?

This! I’m a native/white mix and a single mom working the sex industry and premed. All I hear is horror stories from med students from women and peers that their superiors and professors sexually harass them and make the grossest comments. I am one with scathing and burning remarks that leave one crying but I wonder…

No, because some interns are actually paid a stipend. Not every company is terrible, just most.

These allegations are 100% true, not that anyone here needs me to say it.

I was sexually harassed by my female thesis advisor for years (I’m also a woman). My second advisor- a man, great scientist, and genuine ally- helped to salvage my career. Just make sure you’re one of the good guys.

God damn it! Even Geologists are assholes. I give up!!!!!!!

It’s really not uncommon for women in science to be treated horribly. Male scientists can be massive misogynists.
