Presenting your thoughts as yours is good, presenting women's thoughts as yours is not really.

I think it's pretty clear that my thoughts were inspired by Ganev's essay, mentioned/quoted in 50% of the tweets.

People would be less inspired to read the essay I'm linking to if I said "here are some brain farts on X" or "here are some blurbs for X"

I agree it is better to have a thread. Like "I'm still thinking about Robin Ganev's essay..." and then what you said, for example.

It's not plausible that you had to introduce it as your thoughts to get attention, right
