Being called “difficult” or “shrill” or “bitchy.” The energy and time wasted turning down unwanted advances from athletes, fans, and fellow journalists (regardless of if you are single or not). The “get back in the kitchen” emails; the “shut up cunt” tweets; the harassment that comes, daily, from all sides.
