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.

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
-
-
Instead, White women rally together. They say unequivocally "This is exclusion. It's unfair. We won't stand for this. How will you fix it?"
-
This won't happen here. There'll be excuses. Because White women are eager to excuse other White women when they exclude WOC. That's not ok.
-
Just as White women don't allow "good intentions" and ignorance to be excuses for gender inequity, the same respect for WOC must be shown.
-
White women have always erased WOC from the picture in science, academia & society. It happens in articles like this; in awards; in policy
-
Thanks for this. And I'm sorry. I have to do better to support woc.

No worries, Jen! Glad you understand this a bit better.
