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

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?"
