New York Times: EJMR is a hotbed of misogyny

I think we all kinda know there is a sexism problem here. However, the paper probably overstates the issue.
A bunch of guys (ejmr is, mostly) are not going to sit around talking about dick and balls when the topic of sex comes up. I hope the author doesn't think that men shouldn't discuss sex on the internet.

lol @ the thought Wu would get any harassment from any economists. If she gets a single email it will be from a Redditard troll.
