She probably gets treated more respectfully by her OnlyFans viewers than her co-workers in her PhD program.

Have you never seen the insanity that is reddit's porn section?

And thats how "respectful" they act when they're Not paying for it.

Some of the comments you see on posts of young women announcing they’re “barely legal” and in the comments you’ve got >45 year old men saying what they’ll do.

It’s just so creepy and unsettling.

Have you ever talked with a woman about her experience working in STEM academia?

45 year old men making gross propositions is not at all unusual. And often those are the people deciding whether you have a professional future.

I personally never understood dropping out when something like this happeneds. Like bro now you got the money to have the degree and not worry about paying it off. Might as well have it just to have it

A science PhD is fucking grueling.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 49 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And OnlyFans job is grueling fucking? 🤔

Classical Electrodynamics by Jackson helped me feel like a jock in Calculus.

They drop out so they can do the other thing full time instead of part time...

Especially because it's porn. Gotta make as much money now while she can

[–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, can always go back to school when you age out at 25...

Seen half a dozen posts like this recently. Always screams misogynistic outrage bait to me.

This is actually sad to see.

"An advocate of women in science until recently" makes you think what really are their priorities.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 96 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

academia is toxic for everyone, but especially for women, and especially in STEM

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 weeks ago

The stories my female doctor friend tells me about treatment from male colleagues or female superiors is freaking rage-inducing. But 99% of the time she can't do shit about it because she'll be ostracized or risk her job, or in the past risk residency or placements. It suuuucks.

I.. looked more into that.

She did an interview in which she said that she did not like the academia Life but wants to focus on her social media career, which includes of, but also a YouTube channel where she published science related videos

So still doing science stuff, but not pursuing a PhD anymore.

??? everyone's priority is money. obviously. how is this a shock?

If you've got it, flaunt it.

I hope she manages to set up an irrevocable trust that guarantees steady income for the rest of her life so someday she can quit sex work and just pursue art or something if she wants

Hell, maybe it'll turn out that sex work is her art and that is ok too

I googled this story to, uh, fact check it, and found this article saying that her move to OF is fake news. Except, upon closer examination, it seems the article is AI slop and completely made up. How ironic.

Good for her! I'm sure it's not easy to achieve that kind of success on OnlyFans, so clearly she made some smart moves to get where she is.

OnlyFans is suspicious af considering it’s not blocked in US states with porn bans. Some weird small group of people did a lot of hard work to effectively create a monopoly over porn in some U.S. states, users and creators should beware. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these onlyfans contents are marketing pieces.

I watched the video and it is very convincing and honestly true on many levels. If you can earn much better money from being your own boss then why would you want to spend time with those assholes at work for less?

I am doing it myself just not as successful and not porn because I like privacy.

There is something strange about her and this whole thing though. I can’t help to think it’s all some kind of stunt or AI person idk. Something is uncanny. Maybe it is just the autism that radiates from her that throws me off and looks AI

Capitalism is a completely inefficient and unsustainable grift based on serving privileged white wieners.

just checked out her channel. she links to her onlyfans in the about section and her most recent video is titled: "PhD dropout to onlyfans model." your linked article claims she used the rumor to her advantage, so maybe its just that? but cant confirm since the vid is 18+ on youtube and i dont have an account anymore.

Good call. I left science after my PhD 20 or so years ago. I make more than many of the scientists that I manage. Science is a long, hard path that doesn’t pay well for probably 99% of PhDs.

I owe my financial security to that decision all those years ago.
