Sexism:

Slut Shaming and Concern Trolling in Geek Culture - “The discomfort came from a constant stream of microaggressions. A constant flow of women leaning in and stage whispering in mock-concern about how short my skirt was. A constant flow of men grilling me about whether I had watched the series, and trying to trip me up on trivia.”

That story about the girl who was coerced into saying she hadn't been raped even though she had was horrifying. I hope she gets a big enough settlement to make everyone involved think twice about ever doing that to anyone again.

I hope so too. And I hope it gets enough publicity that the lesson begins to spread.
