When White men make themselves the story of sexism, comes across as them wanting recognition for work women do daily vs oppression. #ally
A few White men going on & on about "sexism" they're facing as a result of fighting sexism. Being an #ally is NOT about centring yourself.

@OtherSociology In my week on@realscientists, I got almost no abuse for feminism, & it provokes mass abuse when women say the same things. -
@hormiga@realscientists Thanks for acknowledging this! It's important that men use their platform this way, in power context as you have.

White men don't get a cookie for doing the right thing. You should use your
#WhiteMalePrivilege to correct power struggles women face.#ally -
@OtherSociology these are interesting points that I appreciate. Food for thought. This all requires a lot of honest internal recalibration -
@wff1022 Thanks. Glad you to know this resonates and you see value in self reflection when doing the work towards equity! -

@OtherSociology believe me, I am extremely aware and didn't mean to imply otherwise - or possibly offend - with quotes. Know all about it. -
@wff1022 Thanks for clarification. Appreciate this. -
@OtherSociology Appreciate you saying. I often say things in a flip way forgetting implications. Not going to self-immolate but reminders

Trolling White men face is nothing compared to what women face. Want validation when men can dip in & out of abuse. We can't choose.

In other words rather than asking women to bear witness to amazing work you're doing to fight sexism, lift up the voices of women.

When White men complain on trolling faced in addressing inequality they want recognition for miniscule of what White women & minorities face
