While I've had a lifetime of negation re my scholarly topics (STEM) it's only the last few years I've heard truly ugly comments from a few men but from far more women about scholarship and higher ed for women. Anyone else experiencing this? Why from so many women do you think?

I believe all that factors in, but the rise of anti-intellectualism, gender bias and embracing of willfull ignorance do too - I never heard such things, I'm 58.
