I'm so angry after reading this. Our profession keeps self-immolating by driving some of its most interesting and talented practitioners out, as we've done for decades. All because man-babies are threatened by intelligent, accomplished women.

As a male historian, I know I can and should do more to fight sexism and misogyny in our field, and in academe. We all have to, because it is intolerable that some of the people who are doing *great* work, and who are *great* scholars and colleagues, are being treated like this
I hope this post challenges you, as it did me, to think very hard about what more you can do to fight this. Start by believing women, and continue by being an ally and a voice when needed. The whole time, don't be like the people in this article's cases.
And if you're the dude who called @jackiantonovich the "little readheaded girl" in the blogging/podcasting session: Fuck you.
If you're one of the dudes who doesn't see why the backlash against feminist work is a big deal: Fuck you.
We have work to do. Start doing it, or fuck you
