Apologies, I did not mean to give the impression I’m calling anybody a liar. I certainly don’t think
@o_guest is lying. I am expressing that this label excludes me from the diversity, equality, inclusion effort.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Thanks for asking for clarification. Appreciate that. In this context, it meant it can make it harder for me to point out the very same behaviour in non-bros.

But more generally, I have noticed some men who support diversity in principle, but not in action, can be deterred from advancing in their thought and actions by labels such as these.

I can sometimes feel myself retreating from these important discussions simply to avoid aggression. I have to remind myself that this is worth it. And I look at inspiration to stay strong. Like

We're not going to be friends, eh,
@theblub? That's a pity. It seems we are fighting on the same side for similar values and principles. So why your hostility? I suspect it is this type of hostility to peers that put's many would-be-allies off.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Why are we centering allies? That is disturbing and not what a good ally does...
