hashtag started after it was revealed that 22-year-old Elliot Rodger, lead suspect in the Isla Vista shooting, had shared extremely disturbing and misogynistic views in a video posted shortly before the attack.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of flooding the internet with Rodger-specific fury, Twitter took the discussion to the next level and remind the world that sexism is still\u00a0<em>very<\/em>\u00a0much present across society, and #YesAllWomen experience it.<\/p>\n<p>Among those tweets were many honest and confronting admissions of sexism from female scientists, students and communicators.<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/whyscienceissexist.wordpress.com\/\">isn\u2019t the first time the issue of misogyny in science has been brought up<\/a>, but it\u2019s always sad and shocking to see certain opinions persist when females have come such a long way in the field.<\/p>\n<p>As ScienceAlert is staffed almost entirely by women, we though we\u2019d add a few of our own:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Because only 44 out of 835 Nobel Prize laureates are women.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Because senior scientists would still\u00a0<a

are still shocked when we tell them ScienceAlert is run by women.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Because that last tweet I screenshotted, via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/harto\/status\/471002164630802432\">Hannah Hart<\/a>, really hits home for myself and so many women I\u2019ve talked to over the last few days [much less ever] when it comes to pointing out sexism in general, especially within the STEM world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>a break from our regular programming for some real important stuff<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Because over five years on, most of the men still don&#8217;t think it was a big deal for them to run off the woman they elected president of the local 2600 using sexual
