Ok, but for this story Vice is mostly recycling facts and stories reported elsewhere. It's a fact that Geoff Marcy was disciplined for harassing women. It's a fact that Christian Ott was disciplined for harassing women. It's a fact that women scientists are speaking on the record about these things.

So I don't see how your comment is relevant to the article we're discussing.

Did the article really describe a 'constant nightmare' or was the article more an example of anectdata.

I would argue that demonizing STEM fields with sensational language does more harm than good.

I don't think Vice has a monopoly on clickbait headlines.
I'm not quite sure what you're advocating. The reporting isn't original and the headline is click-bait.

I consider yc news a place for elevated discussion not for elevating BS.

It's relevant - maybe it's not all true, or recycled fact, so the repute of vice is relevant.
