The article is ok but your question is far more important. Post is by/about about Whiteness & so the critique reproduces problems WOC face

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.

Absolutely. It's tough to share. White women can expect other WW to support them. WOC can't count on this. Also fear career repercussions.

Risking microaggressions from WW diminishing WOC experiences & knowledge. WW led conversations unwelcoming (Women's March/ SciMarch).

THIS times infinity! Using WOC's for personal gain. Exploitative.

WW will also compare their experiences to racism to as proxy for "what's happening to me is REALLY bad" E.g. https://twitter.com/i/moments/872818895496892416 …

Yup! Or in my case WW in my dept said I brought the racism when I entered so I was the problem and not their blatant distain of my work

I'm sorry this happened to you! All too familiar. WW react poorly when WOC point out racism. They deny, cry, accuse, threaten.All deflection
