I absolutely hate the “but criticism is more important than being kind” narrative as if the two are competing for the first place. Worst kind of false dichotomy ever to being up. Terribly misleading framing. Also disappointing.

NGL I can't help but think kindness is coded as "female" and "weak" and from there it's not hard to get to "can't do stats properly". Seems like textbook misogyny.

Are you saying all the people who can't understand kindness will opt-in to doing this? Because while it's great and people should be paid for their effort at retraining those who can't help but be mean at work... I fear those who need this have no idea they need it.

Also it's tricky because they don't *need* to pay a third party, they can listen to those who have come out to say kindness is important. But of course no academic will pay other academics for their emotional labour (an undervalued service that it seems only women provide).

Ultimately, you can't help/train those who have no idea they lack kindness and have no interest in engaging meaningfully.

It also worries me a little their website uses a comic by Dilbert. Makes me wonder what other blind spots they have. Now, while I don't think one slip (if a slip) means they are clueless about optics I do find it interesting there is a double standard... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Adams#2016_United_States_presidential_election …

If I say "hmm, weird inclusion of a known misogynist makes me think something is off here" others might say "it's just a blip, ignore". But if men come up with something way way more arbitrary like "no brown m&ms" that's seen as a genius heuristic!https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/brown-out/ …
