The Tim Hunt Debacle

Beautifully researched and a very enjoyable read, even if the piece is a bit less streamlined around the middle. (Please give my regards also to the others in HuntCentral. This must have been a huge amount of work.)

That said… I don’t quite understand why this is tagged as “GamerGate”. Besides the obvious similarities in malicious tactics used by certain people “standing up for women” and some overlap in the people involved with it in some way, they seem to be different, separate stories. Has it become a catch-all term for gender issues anywhere around science and technology?
