Quote from the article, title and link below, regarding the frequency with which the author/mentor is called upon to advise other women in science who are experiencing sexual harassment.
"IT’S not something I can put on my C.V., but I believe that one of my most important duties is to walk young women through emails like the one my former student received, and I am called upon to do it many times each year."
She Wanted to Do Her Research. He Wanted to Talk ‘Feelings.’

What would you do if you received an email such as the one described in this opinion piece; would advise someone who received one?
The author suggests that this is a significant reason why women drop out of science careers. Is it?
If you were being harassed regularly about anything at your place of study or work and it began affecting your mental state, what would you do to protect yourself?
