I hope the @emilyaccount drama draws attention to the vastly different experiences that many fintwit women have on this platform compared to fintwit men.
I rarely talk about this (since it just tends to court more drama and unwanted attention) but just to emphasize the above point, in the past year I've experienced swarms that have distracted from my work.
I've had reply guys criticize the following
- the fact that I got a puppy (wtf)
- the fact that I eat steak
- silly hobbyist art/sculptures/ornaments that I've made over the past year to pass the time ("Technically it's good but it lacks emotions/feelings" says online random)

I've repeatedly been described as Joe's bride/wife etc.
Actually now that I think of about it, most of this was just in the past month or two (the puppy comment is the only thing from last year).
In general however, I have shied away from promoting my own work on social media because I just don't want to have to deal with it.

I'd argue that it's important to have a social media presence, but I hope there's greater recognition of the emotional/time suck that they can be for many women.
