If you can't see how the dog-humping paper is ridiculous, you're part of the problem.https://twitter.com/briandavidearp/status/1056627434211213314 …
So all three things you just attributed to me were misrepresentations and false, whether you intended them that way or not. I hope there’s a way to recover a more charitable discussion but I fear this may not be the venue
-
-
I'm not meaning to misrepresent you, just pointing out the objection has changed and you now think we might disagree on the nature of our problem with these fields rather than how to go about addressing it.
-
I said in my very first tweet thread from last week or whenever it was that I thought some of your characterizations of the fields you critiqued could have been more charitable & less broad brushed. I agree w much of ur critique & also see some as not very nuanced.
-
We can discuss that another day but its in the Areo piece and I don't know how we can be more charitable than spelling out exactly what ideas we disagree with and why and stressing that they are not representative of everyone who studies gender, race & sexuality.
-
You keep jumping from one objection to another. First it was methods, then epistemology & worth of fields, now we're generalising. Our views on all of these are in the Areo piece & I'm suspecting this is going to be one of those neverending & reaching conversations.
-
I'm happy that we've come to an understanding on one thing and we can show all we have written about not generalising. If we're going to disagree on whether that approach has worth, I'm going to set that out in my book which will be a much better forum than Twitter for doing so.
-
I am (admittedly uncharitably) concerned that if I answer your new objections, more will emerge and I just don't have time. We *are* going to criticise these fields for the reasons we've given & have written and will write much about why. That will have to do.
-
Helen that’s all totally fine. You must be exhausted from all the conflict. I was trying to get some work done today as well, & started getting pinged @ by James, poking me to say whether I “stood by” my old string of tweets. I tried my best to answer honestly & w/o confrontation
-
We are quite tired of people criticising things we didn't say and don't claim, yes. I just don't know how we could be any clearer. It's exhausting. But I accept that James started this conversation.
