Nope. It doesn't clearly mean that or you wouldn't have to explain it. The two phrases have different connotations and were purposely used
But the problem of women's ideas not being as open to critique as men's *because they are a woman* is what is being addressed here.

True. If it didn't ignore the nuance of why people might respond on a certain way to either situation.
-
We have to be able to address the ways people could be treated differently *because of* their gender. It matters.
-
If you don't want to address the premise as it is - people are more accepting of criticism of unsubstantiated claims by men than by women...
-
...then don't but it is OK to address this. I want to for reasons I've given. Those people are feminists & I feel they're disempowering us

From my perspective, it undermines me as a serious thinker, as an academic writer, as a social commentator if I must be humoured coz female.
-
And if you're reading all of that into his tweet you are looking at a different message than I am. I certainly haven't humored you just coz
-
Tweet says that people who praise you for saying that a man is making unsubstantiated claims will object if u make same criticism of woman
-
And that is the nicest version of how people usually "call out" women for unsubstantiated claims. Ignoring this nuance is my issue
-
No, it isn't. We can also talk about the problem I have raised which is undermining & disempowering women in academia & in feminism.
-
We can have that conversation but it is different from the conversation we are currently having and thus only tangentially related
-
As I have said, I think it clearly was the point and am bemused that you don't see this. But this is an impasse so let's leave it here.

Also if Boghossian hadn't recently shown a propensity for being anti this exact statement and your stated purpose for it

Sorry, I don't understand. You think Peter doesn't want women to be taken as seriously as men? I'd be astonished if he didn't.
