There's a weird gendered thing where after every talk or article of mine coming out some male academic sends me a bunch of their articles or books to read.
Which is nice at times to see who works on what but it has _never_ been a woman or nonbinary person. Only men.
I don't know if it's just men being more aggressive in pushing themselves and their careers or if it's men having a hard time making a compliment without overloading it with some weird transaction.
