      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 …

      I informed Scott Aaronson about #protestNIPS regarding quantum supremacy naming issues. Yet, he didn't even bother to respond or credit me and proceeds to invive @sapinker to write about it! wtf! How is @sapinker an authority ?? He is not part of our community or its struggles.

      During #protestNIPS name change movement, women were primarily attacked and trolled. I even got gun threats. It was an extremely stressful period for us. Some of them came from @sapinker followers after he attacked us and ridiculed us.

      Scott unfriended me on Facebook because I called out his terrible judgement to invite @sapinker to write about #protestNIPS These so-called enlightened scientists have terrible blindspots that their egos prevent them ever overcoming. Truly disappointing!

      Both Scott and @sapinker could have spent holidays with their families peacefully, as I had planned to do. Instead, they spread toxicity and shut down voices who are marginalized and facing discrimination in our scientific communities. #meToo #meTooSTEM

          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

          Scott Aaronson's comments further reveal his biases. His blind admiration of Pinker is sad for someone who claims to be a scientist and open minded. Sexism and racism is never experienced from someone with privilege. And comparing Pinker to Marie Curie (barf!)pic.twitter.com/x2BpiNy9y3

          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 issues

          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.

          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.
