Painting this as heroic is papering over gross gender race other inequities in academic rank & power.

Dr Strickland obvs has right to her own narrative, but turning this into a lesson for other academics goes way beyond that.

And I'm mostly seeing white dudes turning this into a lesson for others.

It's comforting to tell yourself that non-white-dudes not being promoted or put in positions of power are heroic true scientists.

Does anyone imagine that in her situation she would ever say, "Yeah, those motherfuckers never respected me enough to promote me"?

The structural & personal pressures for someone in her situation not to do that are surely overwhelming.

Only reason I feel compelled to engage this structural analysis (in apparent contradiction to Dr Strickland's personal analysis) is others' first did the same (albeit wrongly, in my view).
