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.

Their blindness to the effects of their stigmatize & intimidate tactics as appalling. I am pretty sure far more people have been intimidated into silence by stigmatizing terms such as
#bropenscience than by anyone else.https://twitter.com/PsychRabble/status/1152891850333839360 …

I got more DMs than replies, mostly from women, and mostly along the lines of "thank you, I've been too scared to speak up".
You can't fight exclusion with exclusion, and then expect inclusion.
