Unpopular opinion: In exactly the same way the aggression called out by #bropenscience harms open science at large, so does this aggressively genderized label #bropenscience itself harm the cause for diversity and equality at large. Thread

Replying to @LennartVerhagen
Please don’t. You asked what you could do as an ally. Imho, this is not it.

1/3 Conflicted... I think
#bropenscience is a very funny term, and recognise the type of people it calls out. I also agree with@LennartVerhagen that aggression isn’t unique to one identity. For example, the person who coined the term can also be a bit of a bro sometimes.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

2/3 Context to that is the time
@o_guest misrepresented my blog on open source in science, and suggested I had bad intentions. I (PhD student at the time) felt attacked by more senior researcher in my department. (Thread upwards here: https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/771124227349020672?s=21 … )Edwin Dalmaijer added,

3/3 That said, it was also much easier for me to brush the whole thing off, compared to people who have had much more experience with verbal aggression turning to physical aggression. And that difference in perception of aggressive debate might be a core issue here?

Interesting you described me as bro-y, I've seen a lot of people say it can't be applied to women. If I am bro-y, that's not a good thing.
So what exactly did I do that was bro-y?2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

Also about context, do you mean the point I raised here?https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/1144888369769586688 …

Olivia Guest | Ολίβια Γκεστ @o_guestReplying to @o_guest @LennartVerhagen and 5 othersWhat aggression do you fear and from whom? Most minorities fear aggression not because of it in and of itself but because it manifests further and further and into worse and worse stuff. It's because of what verbal aggression means, it means a chance of physical aggression.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
Yes! I’ve seen this in a different context on Twitter before, don’t want to link the person who made it, because I don’t think they like being tagged like that. Their point was that verbal aggression can be perceived very differently if it was paired with harassment in the past.

In fact it's pretty much standard conditioning.
