"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 …

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 ABCShow this thread -
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 …Show this thread -
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 …Show this thread -
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).#StridentWomenShow this thread -
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.Show this thread
