Very true. What we choose to be silent about or are willing to ignore, is communicative and revealing of our values and priorities.https://twitter.com/richarddmorey/status/1041987494366142465?s=21 …

shrew and I have discussed this. One big difference between our chart and other lists of sexist tactics is that we didn’t specifically call out Derailing/Distracting. But that’s because we split it into several distinct (we think) techniques for doing that. 1/2
-
Tone Police and Himpathy (and Cookie) center the man’s feelings. The Prestige centers the woman’s low status / illegitimacy. Mansplainer and Sea Lion try to reduce the woman’s point to technical quibbles. Gaslighter tries to undermine the idea that misogyny even exists.
-
That’s why we didn’t have a Guy called The Derailer: it’s mostly derailing! But we thought these tactics were distinct enough (and can be handled in distinct ways) to merit being listed separately

Speaking of derailing... this is amazing.http://www.derailingfordummies.com/

Thanks
@o_guest for that link! Thanks@shrewshrew for clarifying! I was indeed thinking about what exact type of derailing it was, but given your analysis it seems in this particular case it is a mix of most of them. Making it such a moving target it seems. -
Sorry! I meant thanks
@sbarolo ! (Typed the wrong handle)
