Has anyone done this yet for POC academics? https://dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/guest-post-the-day-i-broke-some-twitter-feeds-insights-into-sexism-in-academia-part-1/ …https://twitter.com/gbaucom/status/872446177580593152 …

Sorry to pop in - this is so interesting because I did see WOC reply w/explicit examples of racialized misogyny. Confusing.
Hi Divya. What is confusing about this? The discussion does not address race & nods to "minorities" with throw away line. That's Whiteness.

Maybe author will weigh in, but could she perhaps not want to step on toes? Bad also for WW to say what experience POC have?
-
Probably stepping in it myself now.

Hi. The author replicates marginalisation of WOC by entire framing, including switching to "POC" - not WOC - when mentioning race.
-
Why do White women do this? Because they see gender as White women, but race is for Others. They don't see race affects gender & vice versa
-
White women notice gender inequality when there are no White women. They are satisfied about gender balance when it's 50/50 cis WW & WM
-
A panel with 50/50 cis WM & WW is both a gender equity AND race equity issue. White women don't notice. See here:https://twitter.com/i/moments/877216881660362752 …

As to your original question, consider how White women in sci react when White men exclude women from analyses, conversations, awards, etc.
-
White women don't say: "Wait a minute, let's hear from the White man. Maybe he didn't want to step on women's toes!" They don't excuse this

Hm. Thinking more about throw-away line. In the meantime, can tell you that I chose an example from a spreadsheet w. no id'ing info
-
& more WW than WOC responded (appreciate thought below on safety of open response). I agree, I should have highlighted WOC responses.

It strikes me as an opportunity lost.
