I found that comment both typical and flabbergasting. If you follow the link, you'll see that it received hundreds of Likes. Note that the woman is not even claiming to have been "abused" (beloved feminist word--covering a multitude of non-criminal actions) by Geoff Marcy, just by someone in the field of Astronomy (whom she was successful in having dismissed from his position). According to her logic, any woman who has ever had a bad experience with any man can claim that hearing the name of ANOTHER alleged abuser is incapacitating. And these are the women we are supposed to seek out and recruit (and keep safe!) because they bring so much talent and ingenuity and dedication to scientific research! It would be amusing if it were not being taken seriously and implemented.
