Having said that, I appreciate all the support I have received publicly or privately. There are many awesome, supportive people in this community. But their voices may not be heard as loudly.

@zerdeve you already know very well my opinion, but I'd like to give it again here publicly. We need to isolate these bullies. We cannot afford giving them more publicity, they live of it! People, please consider unfollowing them (or even better, block them!) -
I suspect that many don’t have a clear definition of what constitutes bullying and hence are hesitant. Especially when it doesn’t concern them directly. In this case, what I was exposed to fits my definition of online bullying/trolling. The motive, the malintent, >>

the lack of good faith, the failure to listen, and the rush to tweak/misinterpret my words, and the smear... Coming from people with privilege satisfies my definition above and beyond. Maybe for others, this isn’t enough.

I think people know what a bully is, and in this case, it was crystal clear! Perhaps as you said, they are hesitant because it doesn’t concern them directly. What they may fail to see is that, as part of a community, it will in one way or another affect them. >>

Ignoring it because of lack of empathy, fear of losing track from what is going on around, sense of belonging, etc, is not an option that we, as human beings and as scholars, can afford. My view tho.

I always appreciate your perspective and I see your point. Agree that we can all do better. But in prior conversations I personally observed that there’s a grey area around these concepts and clearer definitions/demarcations would help all of us.

Pretty sure some onlookers think that I invited that kind of personal attack just by tweeting my views on what constitutes sexism and that’s a risk I was willing to take bec of how important it is to me. We can disagree on an opinion but silencing each other isn’t the solution.

Dehumanizing everyone who enters a conversation without being called into it, that’s neat.

@alemacgo creo que deberías leer el hilo entero. Así sabrías quién ha deshumanizado a quién, quién ha sido el agresor y quién el agredido, en fin, te enterarías de que va el asunto. Quiero creer que de hacerlo, sin partidismos, tomarías una posición diferente. >> -
Dicho esto, y para evitar más discusión baldía, procedo a enmudecerte, la vida es muy corta para perder el tiempo discutiendo con personas que proceden a opinar de froma sectaria, obviando razones. Que te vaya bonito!
