According to a 2018 article from the New York Times (see the link in this update), female researchers and scientists face sexist attitudes even when attending herpetology conferences.  According to the article,"Herpetology has historically had a 'macho, bro culture'," and one female scientist who was interviewed said, "she had routinely witnessed obscene photographs and sexual innuendos in herpetology talks, though she said it had become less common in recent years.  Still, she said that culture had made her less inclined to attend professional herpetology conferences. Others who spoke out on social media said they, too, avoided such meetings or switched career paths."
  
Repashy's "Morning Wood" and its graphic description of oral sex and sexual domination is offensive and must be changed.  It is an example of the toxic culture against women in science and exotic pets.  Women and girls don't ask to be treated this way -- it has to go.

Please.  In honor of women and men everywhere who have been victimized by sexual violence, or who are oppressed by toxic masculinity, please change the name of this fish food.

Thank you all for your amazing support.  I am truly humbled and grateful for each of your voices.  Please share the respect with each other, and please keep sharing this petition.  Tell Repashy to change the name and description of this offensive product!

Safety and respect for all.

Thanks,
