#Classics #medievaltwitter Having a "white feminist" say that #StanfordSausageFest was OK b/c her white male colleagues spoke @ gender & diversity & knew nothing (so white male innocent) just leaves you w/ "white" academic (not even feminist) #SolidarityisforWhiteMen apparently.https://twitter.com/wmarybeard/status/974975128713953280 …

Do read my thread (tweets and replies) again. I was decrying whole thing, though trying to address structural problems not attack individuals. i've been guilty of not querying line ups, because i assumed diversity. Maybe we should all be humble about human frailty & inattention

when exactly are we allowed to point out that individuals are complicit in sexist and racist structures? when they’ve been part of 2 all white male events? three? when they’ve shouted down one WoC for ingratitude? two? or never, when they’re “friends”?

I don't think we've won anything. They've only apologized b/c they were called out and it got MSM attention. Already they are still part of
#manferences. When are they planning to take accountability and do better next time?1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -

I don't think it's about human nature. I think it's about your situatedness. You can be optimistic because of your situation. Many of us cannot b/c we are also not white, not upper class, not Oxbridge, not, in fact, an English native speaker, etc. etc.

i think that most of is are on the same side here.. we differ at the margins, and no one is wholly good or wholly bad. But i want to conscript those white men onto the side of internalising the idea that all white male panels are not just no good.. they are silly!

They really didn't think they were silly enough not to spend the weekend doing them and continue to book themselves into doing more of them (as my screenshot has shown). But really, why not center the most marginal-the women and POC-in this and what they want instead?

Oh come on, most delegates are only notified of conference line ups once everything has been booked (flights etc.) And many of the male delegates who went, according to what they say, did indeed raise an objection to the all male line up.
