PSA: If you are a man writing about open science, and decide it is timely and beneficial for you to include a mandatory section on "diversity", at least credit the women from whom you appropriated the ideas for this section.

I'm kind of annoyed too. This is a topic that a lot of people - mostly women, LGBTIQ folks, PoC, etc - have advocated for over a sustained period of time, and often been treated like we're anti-science because of it, or, idk being called "f*****g r****ds" for speaking up

As soon as we make some inroads... look who suddenly appears to take credit for other people's work and receive praise from the community

It's demoralising. I started making edits for LSR 2nd ed today & then saw *that* pop up. Seeing how everyone responded to it, with an "oh yes, wow, absolutely" attitude they've never shown when we say literally the same thing... I lost all motivation to keep going & just stopped

I confess I jumped on too hastily. I liked the general point (and specifics) but myopically missed the lack of explicit connections to y’all. In my head I didn’t view the post in isolation...pic.twitter.com/1X4PH5jQcR

They're good points. It's a well written post, and I agree with most of it. It's just that people listen when he says it and call us names when we do. It makes me really sad.

Apart from the bit that diversity will lead to lower-skilled people doing science!
-
Yeah. That made me roll my eyes a bit too. There's a whole separate thing going on in the R community right now where a guy said roughly the same thing and everyone is pissed at him. But here... that same lukewarm take really does count as progress.

"Wow such a unique take and nobody has ever before said open science is/should be diverse in terms of people and types of doing it!"

I’m away and may have missed most of the picture but think I’ve got the flavour of it: ppl (men, as usual) taking advantage of other people’s (women, o/c) good social ideas, in pursuit of gaining some leverage over others… there used to be a name for that: enlightened despotism!
