To be a woman in public life in the internet era is to have men constantly appraising your physical experience while you are expected to sit quietly, enduring it; objecting is seen as unprofessional & unladylike.

Here are the parts of my body random jerks have judged this week:
My face
My chin
My feet
My breasts
My hair

Once after a TV appearance a man wrote to me to tell me I had a “strange darkness in the esophageal area of my throat”
That of course is in addition to the folks who want to take away my voting rights, who call me “AWFL” (angry white female liberal).

Yes, I am very angry- but expressing that would be a faux pas. Meanwhile, targeted harassment continues, my reports to @TwitterSupport go nowhere
PS I have a project on gender and disinformation that I’m pouring my heart into and can’t wait to share with you.
PPS really don't care whether the A in AWFL means angry or affluent... it's much more a descriptor for those who use it than those it's directed at 😘
