Oxfam workers were involved in sexual exploitation?!!
White feminism strikes again. Setting up excuses for sexual exploitation by corporations they belove. Suddenly it's a murky moral terrain - would such a thing be said if White women in need had been preyed upon? Nope. It would be blistering outrage.https://twitter.com/wmarybeard/status/964613592833253376 …

Oxfam staff exchanged aid for sex work. http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-02-13/oxfam-haiti-scandal-the-tip-of-the-iceberg/9425918?pfmredir=sm …

Omg... I mean I shouldn't really be surprised since I rarely hold humans above any wrong doing, but damn. I literally JUST pulled my donations to them like 2 weeks ago for another issue, now I'm glad I did. It's a shame that this basically taints whoever is clean in there.

It's a systemic issue - the organisation needs to change and they've said so, but too little too late.

Yea I just read how this is basically a global issue with aid agencies... sigh* It's like everything has to be tainted by people

the parenthetical (alleged) is what really riled me up. Always the benefit of the doubt

Yes - everything is up for debate when POC are being exploited. E.g. Western imperialism, Nazis. Her TL is a thing to behold. She references Lord of the Flies as evidence of her argument. And then the White woman theatre. "I'm not a nasty colonialist because I'm crying."pic.twitter.com/XWB5AU7PXw

I think in a disaster zone it is even more repugnant to prey on the vulnerable, not harder to resist.

The only reason I'm hesitant to comment on Oxfam story until all is investigated and clear is that at the moment it's not entirely clear if we're talking about aid workers coercing women/kids into sexual slavery, or aid workers using consensual sex workers. These are v different

Yes. Covering up abuse is abuse.

This isn't about black or white. I'm sickened by Mary Beard's remarks and saddened you have brought colour into it. I wouldn't refer to anyone as black and think you lower yourself referring to her as white. Ignorance and stupidity doesn't need to have a colour.

Because of course sexual abuse only ‘really’ happens if men of color do it despite all evidence to the contrary (cf NT intervention). Save the tears Mary!
