"The stereotype is that people deeply involved in the life of the mind have, ceteris paribus, little time and less interest to concern themselves with what's considered fashionable in terms of clothing. This stereotype is, like many stereotypes, largely accurate."

I can't expend any more energy trying to help you see what you're saying. Thanks for engaging politely with me. FYI I put myself through college working full time, did grad school w/o any parental support, and worked as an adjunct before TT. And cost was not part of the point.

I always wonder how to deal with such interactions. The best response seems to be to resort to using twitter in protected mode only, or to leave it altogether, because the annoyance often outweighs the benefits of reaching out to fellow minds.

She does not even remotely consider the possibility that he might have said something that is factually true, and only considers the cost of converting him to her normative perspective. This cannot work.

She also attributes to him a totally separate meaning, and then when he points out that he didn’t say that, she just quotes the original in its entirety and without explanation. It’s all very depressing.
