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.

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 -

Ah, check, thanks. Yes, as I have mentioned elsewhere, I agree that my expression of opinion here is not good allyship in the narrow sense. But my larger goal is to amplify the call to end discrimination. This can be done in multiple complimentary ways.
