Screaming at Patriarchy Matters
A year ago, I couldn't get my science society to ensure the man wouldn't be elected their president even though he lied, stalked and terrorized me. This year, the president of the society is honoring me and #MeTooSTEM

Resistence matters
A year ago, the four men in the National Academy of Sciences had no fear of losing their appointments after assaulting and harassing women in STEM. 5000 scientists and allies have demanded their ouster. Resistence matters. #MeTooSTEM
A year ago, @NIHDirector had pushed off womens cries for help and healing after sexual harassment. This year, he was dragged to Congress to account for his do nothingness. Resistence matters.
#WomeninSTEM get a lot of “Reply Guys” who repeat the same unhelpful comments.
@shrewshrew and I (a woman & a man in science) have attempted to catalog those replies, to save us all the trouble of writing new responses every time.

We will post one Reply Guy a day, and we welcome your thoughts and feedback.

People who get annoying replies can tag the dude with the appropriate Reply Guy from this thread, and save themselves a pointless debate. That’s the idea anyway.
And some guys seem to take it to heart when you point out that they’re being a cliché.

We want more women and individuals from underrepresented groups to consider careers in STEM… we want a more diverse STEM workforce… we want to patch the leaky pipeline… we want more women and URM as professors and STEM researchers and role models. 1/5
But wanting isn't the same as doing. To do all this, we must ensure that the learning environments for all of our trainees are safe. We must foster a positive climate free from sexual harassment. Universities must strive to do better. But the NIH and NSF play a role as well. 2/5
Continued funding for PIs who sexually harass their subordinates and create a toxic learning environment is unacceptable. If you can’t commit to a healthy and safe climate for your trainees, then you should not be awarded resources that will enable you to continue 3/5
1/ Content warning: sexual harassment and assault. The @theNASEM released a report on sexual harassment in medicine. Disturbing quotes by #womeinmedicine from the report are in this thread (17). #MeToo #MeTooSTEM #heforshe @womeninmedchat @physcianwomen bit.ly/2JzUunm
2/ Residency. "But, the thing is about residency training is everyone is having human rights violations. So, it’s just like tolerable sexual harassment." (Nontenure-track faculty) #believewomen #MeToo #MeTooSTEM #womeinmedicine #metoophd #metoomed #MedEd #sheforshe #heforshe
3/ Culture. "I still don’t think that the prospect of being sexually assaulted was as bad as watching the next generation of sexual harassers being formed. I think that was the worst part for me." (Nontenure-track faculty) #MeToo #MeTooSTEM #womeinmedicine #MedEd #heforshe
