What depresses me the most about this is that most people, even ones with elite degrees in stats, are not actually free people. If this were a free woman, she would have raised her voice, made a scene, and possibly even delivered a well-deserved slap to professor creepy. Instead, there was "struggling", "humiliation", "embarrassment", etc. She didn't even name names in the Medium post! As to why she is not free, I do not know. Escalation of commitment? Prestige? Financial insecurity? What I do know is that this is a terrible example for the ladies out there. Saving it for a cryptic blog post and waiting for some godless HR department to mete out justice is a shit plan, even if it did work this time. If this were a rougher crowd than a bunch of stats nerds, this could have ended very badly...
