E.g. Whiteness: premise of the exercise is "women" aren't invited to talks because "people lack empathy." Already racism is off the table

Structural inequality isn't about empathy; it's about institutions & power. Subject to multiple inequities WOC cannot sustain this view.

Post "specified ‘women,’ but negatives are also said about PIC and other minorities – whether LGBTQ, disabled, etc." "Women" = White women

Discussion then subsumes "POC/LGBTQ/disabled/etc" back into Whiteness framework. We're under "Awarded/offered only because <blank> 7.5%"

WOC don't appear elsewhere. In fact one of the WOC examples (in text quote) comes from a WP. All the other tweets are from White women.

I was surprised at the lack of representation too. Thanks for this thoughtful analysis.

WP's networks are stratified; incl on social media. They're less likely to have ties to POC. Results would be different if OP was WOC.

Sorry to pop in - this is so interesting because I did see WOC reply w/explicit examples of racialized misogyny. Confusing.

Also doesn't take into consideration how difficult it is for WOC to share negative experiences in such a public forum.

Being an N=1 offers little protection when discussing racism, sexism & misogynoir in workplace. Esp if you speak out & receive no support.

Thank you both for this discourse!
