A strange thing keeps happening. Me: We need to make gender studies rigorous, evidence-based & strive for objectivity and universities open to ideological diversity! 100 people: You're wrong because that isn't how they are! They're the opposite!
I am not talking about researchers in the fields of grievance studies & their criticism that we fed reactionary aims to prevent scholarship into gender, race and sexuality for social justice purposes but those reactionaries themselves who are angry that we don't want to do that.

I am never convinced by the argument that we should not address problems on our side because it gives ammo to the other side, whether this is a political side or an academic side or whatever. I think it is by getting our own house in order that we strengthen it & gain support.

Yes I totally agree. The replies to your tweets show that. I can understand why GS are defensive but i agree they need to take on board “friendly” criticism. Closing ranks is ultimately destructive.
