Going through my survey results. I will be discounting the facetious & saving men's responses for a future essay.

Not entirely sure what to do with those claiming that universities are intolerant of intersectionality, feminism & critical race theory tho.
-
Obv, I must take them as sincere but hard to find evidence of students/academics suffering on campus for expressing intersectional views.

So far I have someone blaming the Jews & someone else claiming its impossible to be feminist in universities but otherwise all reasonable.

Are there many female academics there? I don't know Reddit.

It's not necessarily feminists I want tho. We hear an awful lot from them on the subject. They're not silenced in universities.
-
Well, radfems are but I have a few of them already.

If you ask for people who are X to fill out your survey about whether they are X then you will get nothing but confirmation.
-
If you are just mining anecdotes then keep in mind that none of it is empirically significant.
-
Thanks. I'm aware of that. This will not be a quantitative study.Women in academia write to me with these experiences coz I write about this
-
I have been collecting some of them & the survey will help me find a few more.
-
So you are writing about novel anecdotal cases for human interest. Do you suppose your readers interpret it as characteristically systemic?
-
They will disagree strongly on this. There is much evidence that it is systemic tho & I will include details of campus riots &no-platforming
-
That's fine. But don't confuse your work for evidence.
-
Thanks so much for your input.

I'm not a feminist but feel increasingly under pressure to conform with feminist thinking on campus. Does that count?
-
Absolutely.
-
Well, if you also self-censor because of this.
-
Yes, thanks!
