Sexist behavior from @sapinker continues. #protestNIPS was a catalyst in positive change at #neurips This year @celestekidd got a standing ovation after sharing her #MeToo
experience and guiding the men to be allies. Amazing change from TITS parties and misogynistic rappers https://twitter.com/sapinker/status/1209171768788869120 …

One more toxic comment from Scott Aaronson. His misogyny in full display. Only men make sense to him.pic.twitter.com/avyJ6pgvPm

Sadly Scott Aaronson closed his thread and didn't even let me address. Very definition of silencing. He equates struggles of women and minorities to aspbergery males! The tone deaf nature of his comments is truly disappointing. He squandered a valuable opportunity to be an ally.pic.twitter.com/XkZtm2f6nN

When original title made multiple uncomfortable, I changed it. Unlike Aaronson and
@sapinker I am open to changes that create a better environment! Names are powerful. People are quick to call out my usage of neo-Nazis but turn a blind eye to NIPS/Supremacy issuesShow this thread -
Aaronson had to get to last slide on
#neurips name change http://tensorlab.cms.caltech.edu/users/anima/slides/CRACT-2018.pdf … to know about@sapinker stance. Talk about cognitive bias to ignore mountain of evidence and to feature only@sapinker@celestekidd would have some thoughts on this.Show this thread

Unfriending one of the people who was important in the name change while not listening to what they have to say (all for your benefit), and ignoring any messages they have send in the past is a new level of mansplaining. The added 'I don't even feel guilty' is just painful.

I don't even get why Scott brought this up, it is something which happened a year ago right? Why post this one side of the argument just before Chanukah/Christmas? First time I read the post I got the idea it just happened (which made ignoring the tweets reacting to pinker...
