It feels like the entire community is being blamed because she received unwarranted attention from one reader? isn't this a common problem for people who put themselves out in public? Why wouldn't using a pen name suffice?
- peterbonney 10y agoWhy should a woman be forced to forego the kind of writing credit that helps build her CV, while her male peers aren't forced to do the same? It's patently unfair to say "if you don't like it, write anonymously" when men are far less likely to receive this treatment than women.
