#Gaslighting and #Mansplaining by senior members of the community who reach out to me in private and provide "helpful advice" that #ProtestNIPS is destroying personal friendships with @NipsConference board,program chairs. For record, nothing personal, this is a collective failurepic.twitter.com/iAuvkCbvYb
And such people see me as angry/wanting a confrontation because I started #ProtestNIPS. How do we teach them empathy? How do we convey to them that the environment in #machinelearning is toxic to minorities? Personally and professionally I am in a great place. It is not about me.
Another message from a female PhD student lamenting on lack of empathy by her advisor to her experiences in #MachineLearning When such people vote in the survey, what result can u expect? #ProtestNIPSpic.twitter.com/thIUJAnbzc
#ProtestNIPS gives you a window to deeper toxic problems facing minorities in #AI #ML Another researcher reached out about @black_in_ai being relentlessly mocked by his friends. We have a long way to go and we need all the allies we can findpic.twitter.com/yDUUgQtyY4
More power to you, Anima. I and hundreds of other girls looking to start our careers in ML/AI look up to you. Thank you!
I am very sad to see that a movement aiming to defend women's position, let's say not only in ML but in engineering in general, turns out to be a personal attack. I think it is also the position you hold @AnimaAnandkumar that infuriates the most...
Also I didn't think the organizing committee had any say on this issue, which was decided by the "board". If nothing else, I hope this spurs requests for more transparency from the board. By-laws please?
Change is not easy, so what, maybe you can be on Bloomberg Tech see if Emily will weigh in @emilychangtv , do not give in b/c this will set a precedent, those that named the conference in the first place made the mistake not you by pointing it out, peace
I wonder, what do community members that oppose the winds of change and inclusiveness have to be afraid of? What purpose does in serve to try to sweep away these efforts?
Anima, thank you so much for bringing attention to this. You will, of course, be on the right side of history, but the question is how much damage people will try to inflict maintaining the status quo for a while. NIPS advisory board friends and colleagues, I urge you to listen
