Firstly, this article was talking in part about how an industry wide study showed the rate of post docs with tenure leaving the research sector was higher than pre tenure. The people teaching “dog shit 101” as you call it are generally students themselves. Given how far many universities will demonstrably go to cover up and even outright ignore students who are sexually assaulted by professors so that they can keep thier big named friends no matter how many students they attack this should be intuitive enough. Acidemia’s foucus on big names makes it vunrable to rapists in a way that many other industries are not, hence the study demonstrating the problem.

As for why this matters to you, beyond there obvious that rape and sexual assault is bad, it means that many of the most qualified and experienced people are being forced out of research in favor of less experienced and competent people. With how important pure research is to our modern world being worse at it hurts everyone.

Also i find it odd that you stated your comment taking about how many men are driven out of key jobs in favor of less qualified women and then ended it by saying that men arn’t affected by toxic workplaces and a tangent about divorce court.

Like you realize that this is a bad thing when it happens to men, but don’t think it’s a problem and deride anyone taking about it when it’s about women too?
