Hot take: #bropenscience *is* sexist...and alienates the very people that we want on our side. Science is, objectively, dominated by men, but I'm not sure this is the right approach. It feels a little bit like if we got called "lady scientists". Dismissed by gender.

As I see it (
@o_guest can correct me) it is not about *being* male (so "lady scientists" is not analogous); it is about a particular way that masculine acculturation and behaviour intersects with the open science movement. It is a critique of a brand of masculinity, not males.5 replies 2 retweets 43 likes -

I couldn't think of a better analogous term so yeah maybe, but that misses the point. My point was more that a gendered term is being used for the *purpose* of exclusion. It doesn't mean "men", I know that, but it *implies* it just enough to be counterproductive.

You should consider the possibility that you don’t understand how the term is used, and ask the people that use it whether you’ve got it right.

"Upsets exactly the right people" implies intent. Regardless, the way it's received is a problem as it makes solving the issues in open science much harder if we can't communicate appropriately.https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/1144318491383738368?s=19 …

Olivia Guest | Ολίβια Γκεστ @o_guestI'm gonna do a small thread on: Why did I coin#bropenscience? The shortest answer to the question is: because it’s amusing and seems to upset exactly the right people, while also drawing attention to behaviours and ideas that harm#openscience and its adoption in deep ways.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -
