All day long White male academics are publicly arguing against sexual harassment policies, in between tweeting nude or suggestive images...

Not that it's ok of anyone, but this would NEVER play out like this for
#POC. To brazenly argue *in public* they should be allowed to harass -
That's White male privilege - WM just keep flouting law & policies, but their webpages say "Come study/work with me, PhD students!"
-
If it wasn't WM, of course the outrage would be deafening. But being WM, all are silent, except WoC and even those would fear retribution
-
Indeed! And WW also indulging them by responding over & over - as if their sexism needs hand holding. Would they do this for Others? Nope.
-
It's the idea that WM deserve respect and deference even when they say/do unlawful/unethical things.
-
POC meanwhile get threatened/put on forced leave/ fired for just *talking* about anti-racism - which is lawful! They don't speak up then.

FWIW I emailed his uni's VP of HR and chair about his statements. So disgusting.
-
Thanks for sending the email. I hope they act and he gets equity and diversity training. Keep us posted of you hear back!
-
I will! I said the same-training and some sort of reprimand seems necessary. And that I worry for every person being trained in his lab.
-
Excellent thanks! Yes, very frightened for his students and colleagues. Good to know his behaviour will be documented. Thank you!
-
Yes, I sent an email as well. That's at least 3 I know of.
-
Excellent, thanks so much, Amy! Hope you can keep us updated on the progress.
-
If I get anything back, I'll definitely post.

Is it too much too ask to not generalize ALL 100% of white males as the bad guy though? How can we unite people by dividing us?
-
Your ridiculous concern trolling for the most insulated group, White men, on a thread describing how WM are promoting sexual harassment...
-
...might be laughable were it not a generic knee-jerk reaction to inequity & violence. Protecting White male supremacy maintains the problem
-
Pease don't accuse me or imply any 'white supremacy' assertions just because I ask for you to not generalize, & disingenuous divisiveness
-
She didn't generalize. Everyone who has recently been defending harassing behavior in academia IS a WM. This is simple fact
-
It's such a time sink when someone deploys the "not all [fill in group] people" technique.
-
I feel it's a time sink whenever someone deploys the "all people' technique. (And discriminating, which ironically is the problem at hand.)
