@BetteMidler Your words tonight have wounded me deeply and what makes the wounds worst is that I do not think you fully comprehend their magnitude. Moreover, your attempt at an apology is not sufficient. I hope this excerpt from a piece I wrote will help you learn how to apologize.
@BetteMidler “a sincere apology simply needs to express our remorse that we did something that caused someone else pain. A sincere apology does not need to explain why we did it or why we think what we did is not as bad as something someone else did. /2
@BetteMidler A sincere apology certainly does not need to try to minimize the other person’s feelings; it does not need to redirect the discussion from that person’s feelings to something else. /3
This afternoon at #SPSA2018, I was on a #CWC panel about mentoring across genders. Below, I'll include my comments from the panel. In it, I speak candidly about my #gradschool #metoo moment. @SPSAwomen @SPSAwomen 1/n
In many ways, graduate school is designed to make students feel like impostors. It's a common experience, but it can be particularly damaging for members of groups that have traditionally lacked access to the higher ranks of our discipline. I’ll focus on women here. 2/n
For these folks, the feeling that they have “faked” or “charmed” their way into graduate school (or the #tenuretrack, etc.) can override objective evidence of their own diligence, intellect, and merit. 3/n
Love these but also hate the decontextualised way these are presented. #DoBetter journalists buzzfeed.com/gabrielsanchez… via @guynamedgabe
It wasn't just the Soviet invasion. It was US meddling AND then support for the most regressive groups possible. And well before 1979
Those pics of women in skirts at Kabul University make me really angry, especially as it was US+ the 'West' that helped destroy that society
