MeToo in Physics Blogging

When I see what Sabine Hossenfelder has to endure, when I look at the comments I sometimes get on this blog, when I see what other female bloggers must cope with, I am sad - and angry. How can some men (not all men, but some men!) write things to and about female bloggers they don't even know that are so full of hate? Don't they have mothers, grandmothers, greatgrandmothers? Don't they have fathers, grandfathers, greatgrandfathers? 

All of us have mothers and fathers. We all have female and male sides, and female and male gifts. I am amazed by what women did and can do, and I am amazed by what men did and can do. Life comes to each of us through both. We are different, but we are all where and what the universe wants us to be.
