I have yet another person demanding that I listen to them arguing (badly) against things I never said or admit I don't accept criticism. If you want someone to listen to your disagreement or criticism of their ideas, make sure it is among the best being offered them.

I just read the article. I am not suggesting that you are *wrong* for not engaging in certain conversations. What I am suggesting is that you are doing the equivalent of "putting the rap artist on TV to discuss Racism versus a professor of ethnology", or the like.
-
But why are you suggesting this when we have explicitly said the opposite? We'll engage with serious criticisms and not silly ones. We invited the whole gender studies department to the last talk we all did together.
-
It's just not a fair accusation. We're trying to get these conversations going and get academics in the top of these fields to talk to us. Usually they won't but when we get anyone reasonably knowledgeable with a serious argument, we'll engage with them.
-
I will give you the point that I am over generalizing, as you have all certainly engaged with people in the field. Though nearly all "White folks", whereas, there is a wealth of Black academics who speak on the topic. Either they have not responded, or you have not offered.
-
You're making this up as you go along, aren't you? First it was that we ignore good criticisms & highlight the bad. Now it's that we go by race. On the occasion we had a talk about intersectionality, we invited anyone who worked in it. No-one came. Now, anyone can say anything
-
No. The point is two fold. You're selective in who you are engaging with "officially", initially I was speaking about Twitter, as that seemed to be what you were addressing. Conceding that you have spoken with academics, but "what" academics is a legitimate additional question.
