6. Not to say this is the norm

because I don't think what I'm about to say is the norm - but I remember so well, when my ex taught his first semester he got a call at our home from a student offering a blow job for a better grade. My ex isn't from the U.S., and, he and I had never spoken in those terms and he didn't know what he was being offered, at first... lol. But was scandalized someone would suggest such a thing... but later in his career he told me about men who had made passes at women grad students - and he was disgusted. In spite of the many issues he had, academic integrity wasn't one of them.

I'm sorry to hear that so many in STEM fields are creating hostile work environments for females.
