"The voices of... perpetrators" - why do you continue to centre perpetrators, @WomenSciAUST? Your inaction to date & your words continue to illustrate your lack of commitment to survivors. I came to you & asked you to speak up. You refused to speak out. 1/https://twitter.com/WomenSciAUST/status/977166512782888960 …
"To be able to call out this behaviour ....it is here WE believe we can make the greatest impact" Who is "we"? You refused to act until the ABC expose was going to include your org as one that stayed silent. In btw you were tweeting in support of Terryhttps://twitter.com/WomenSciAUST/status/977166613991514112 …
Your hypocrisy is staggering @WomenSciAUST. Your thread uses the word "transparency" SIX times - funnily evoking this & other language contained in my emails, DMs & public messages to you, which you failed to act on.
Backstage, you were in-fighting about not wanting to respond
What do you know about the "global statistics"? Nothing. What about the Australian statistics? Even less. For an org suddently singing "transparency" you don't even have public policies on harassment or discrimination. But now you want cookies as leaders?https://twitter.com/WomenSciAUST/status/977165324805070848 …
What do you know about #MeToo? Zilch again. Because your co-founder was tweeting veiled sympathy for Prof Terry Speed & explicit sympathy for perpetrators during a national discussion on sexual harassment - a theme repeated in this horrendous thread

So damaging to victims: "Women in STEMM Australia advocates the STEMM sector upholds, implements and creates systems within organisations and communities that ensure ALL PARTIES have ACCESS TO JUSTICE" Perpetrators have all the power. How dare you?https://twitter.com/WomenSciAUST/status/977166832959340546 …
What anti-harassment organisations does @WomenSciAUS partner with to end sexual harassment? NONE. This entire thread is full of falsehoods which can be easily fact-checked, including on Twitter where you've supported perpetrators.https://twitter.com/WomenSciAUST/status/977167614278483969 …
So @WomenSciAUST claims their Board of Directors "was deeply disappointed to learn of [Terry Speed SH case] in recent weeks." But you did nothing. For 2 months. As a "women's organisation" your instinct was to disbelieve the victim "Show me the evidence" as you were quoted on ABC
How can ANY WOMAN ever come forward to @WomenSciAUST, or in any way have confidence that your organisation will support them, when you chose to protect a sexual harasser, for as long as possible, until you saw the writing on the wall.https://twitter.com/WomenSciAUST/status/977168302588833792 …
Fact is that @WomenSciAUST is NOT an org for *all women.* There's zero commitment to end SH & even less commitment to #intersectionality. You left me to be the only woman publicly speaking out on this until you saw the winds change with media attentionhttps://twitter.com/WomenSciAUST/status/977168767523291136 …
As for all the talk of "transparency" - one of your co-founders & @WomenSciAUST unfollowed me & a number of other minority women for speaking out on interconnected issues in recent weeks (e.g. Terry Speed & critique of all-White women in science programs). #StridentWomen
Your organisation @WomenSciAUST is for the status quo. It fails women in science, unless those women are White, able-bodied, cisgender who do not call you into accountability.
You dare to speak for perpetrators when you do not speak for victims. Appalling.
Do better.
