Even to this day, women doing astrophysics seem to be doing at a disadvantage because they have to spend a lot of time monitoring professional relationships for sexual harassment.
This video from Dr. Angela Collier went viral a few years ago on the topic [1]
I don't think it was easier 100 years ago.

- dash2 3y agoHow would you spend a lot of time monitoring relationships for sexual harassment?
- VHRanger 3y agoI'm not subject to much sexual or physical harassment as I'm a somewhat physically imposing guy. But what she meant is that a lot of your mental bandwidth is taken in thinking about how you can and can't interact with certain people if there's a culture of tolerating abuse. You can see this in non sexual abuse cases, like nonproductive crunch leads people to watch what they say to PMs, etc.
