It’s funny. I remember some critique of Why Science Is Sexist (from serious reviewers whose critique I took seriously) of my inclusion of the Larry Summers hypothesis and #distractinglysexy as being a bit by the by.

Everyone is reposting this, and rightly so- it's courageous and principled.
While you're there, have a look at the earlier excellent post about Tim Hunt, who was at the time being defended by supposed champions of women's rights. Reminded me of the wonderful #DistractinglySexy campaign on Twitter.

Y'all this is wild, and at least for me, viral. Only time I can remember reposts and likes like this I posted a photo of myself in Level A PPE for #distractinglysexy on the bird site.
