The misogynist trolls attacking Katie Bouman are the tip of the trashpile

It is unclear, at this point, how to respectfully push back against the narrative. In particular, in highlighting her work, effectively many other people&#x27;s works were devalued. I want successful women scientists to get credit, but even the PR folks who promoted her aggressively had to recant and acknowledge the contributions of others.<p>I don&#x27;t support misogynist trolls attacking people, but ultimately, there has to be a mechanism for pushing back against overly progressive PR.
