I’m so fucking tired of academics who are casually racist, sexist, transphobic, or ableist. I’m so fucking tired of academics who choose to protect power, status, and friends over the vulnerable. I’m so fucking tired of academics who punch down.
I am pretty sure that statistically b/c medieval academia is 99%+ white, overwhelmingly cisgendered (though I don't have a stat), and predominately male, you probably do know such academics. It is, as Samuel explains, "unavoidable."
