Have you ever talked with a woman about her experience working in STEM academia? 45 year old men making gross propositions is not at all unusual. And often those are the people deciding whether you have a professional future.
She probably gets treated more respectfully by her OnlyFans viewers than her co-workers in her PhD program.
If I was at a bar or a singles event or something, this line would get a laugh out of me and I'd probably let the guy chat me up a bit.
This is unique in my experience. Liking Bundy or a Menendez brother existed but was seen as profoundly weird. My friends are just like "would." "same."And nobody seems to not understand why.
That's been the entire GOP strategy since Karl Rove. Nobody seems to know how to handle it.
