    She probably gets treated more respectfully by her OnlyFans viewers than her co-workers in her PhD program.

        Some of the comments you see on posts of young women announcing they’re “barely legal” and in the comments you’ve got >45 year old men saying what they’ll do.

        It’s just so creepy and unsettling.

          Have you ever talked with a woman about her experience working in STEM academia?

          45 year old men making gross propositions is not at all unusual. And often those are the people deciding whether you have a professional future.

            Just STEM in general. My wife almost left her engineering program because harassment came from the male students as well as the male professors. The handful of women in my engineering school all hung out together and moved as one. Strength in numbers and all that. It was really shit for them. Dudes would just yell “omg girls here???” anytime they walked into like any class. Some profs too.

            I can’t say that I have and my comment was in no way meant to that it doesn’t happen to them.

              That doesn’t apply when you’re a PhD student and your supervisor is the tenured department head. You can try blowing everything up to pursue a sexual harassment case but that’s gonna be the end of your PhD.

          Thats because everyone at an AI conference is going to be managment or sales.

          E.G. Salesforce has Two conferences every year. The dev one and the sales one. The dev one deals with legitimate development of Salesforce and new tooling. The sales one pushes AI on the unwitting.

        gonewild and associate subs have been showing lots lots of admiration and body positivity for amateur posters.

        However, eventually all those subs turned into an onlyfans advertising platform, so maybe then the mood got spoiled.

        Previously it was unpaid art for unpaid audience, and was almost unbelievably wholesome.
