Soooo... Yet another source telling women to smile and be polite while we're being abused? Yeah, NO

Hi. Sorry what do you mean? Have you read the article?
@SaraNAhmed is arguing the opposite. Article also on WOC.@reina_sabah -
No, I admit I didn't read past the first paragraph because I'm so tired of being told to be polite
-
I didn’t get that (telling women to be polite) from the first paragraph at all.

And this am I had just read an exam where a guy talks about lizards behaving "un-lady-like"

Recommend coming back to
@SaraNAhmed another time. Her work is on devaluing of diversity workers, esp WOC... -
I'll come back and read it again after I'm a little calmer. I follow her twitter and like her POV
