It's depressing that I remember exactly this shit from my time in US academia. Not about me, being a man, but what I saw, and what my woman friends shared with me. I recall a woman who didn't get tenure, because she was the only woman in the department, and had no friends to support her. I recall female grad students who were sexually assaulted by their advisers. Some of whom were on my thesis committee, and were great mentors. It's just so fucking sad that it's still so common, decades later :(
