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.

This simply allows you an easy out. Seems most "offers" your cohort accepts are from those most unskilled and easy to combat, which amounts to hiding in your heavily-bleached tower. Similar to being a pro-boxer who only fights punching-bags.

That is not what I am arguing for. We argue for the opposite. See below I'm not going to engage "You're just racist & sexist" when I could be addressing serious & thoughtful criticisms. Areo just published one criticising James & my argument against identity politics.pic.twitter.com/vRzxl4skz2

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.

Your "criticisms" in keeping with what we have been getting. People making weird accusations, often contradictory (eg, your papers were actually good & should have been accepted & every field has some crap papers like yours) without having read or understood what we did & why.

Why should we engage with that? If you don't make the effort to know what you're criticising and come up with arguments that actually engage with that, why should we listen & respond to you?
