In the example before that, she reported bad behavior to the event organizer, who did basically nothing.
Some people don’t want to have to risk their careers in order to enact change. When women speak up, they have a legitimate risk of being labeled as difficult or profiteering The author’s hope is that men don’t face the same level of criticism or skepticism when calling out other men, and that more voices will make women safer and this whole endeavor more productive.
The suffragettes were repeatedly arrested, they were branded terrorists. Later, their hunger strikes while in prison were broken with force feeding via stomach pump.
Suffragettes also bombed buildings and committed arson and vandalism, even if their means were effective, maybe we shouldn’t advocate for their strategies.
Why not? It worked didn’t it? Also she didn’t report it to an event organizer, she spoke to his publisher in person, she didn’t even get it in writing.
This whole situation looks to me like she has a lot to gain from her special “get lots of major names and publishers together with me in the center” as opposed to just posting the screenshot and seeing that the community would take it upon themselves to speak up with their dollar.
I’m so sick of this “difficult women” lie. Men get fired too for reporting safety concerns, but you still report them to OSHA because it’s the right thing to do and we have protections in place for those people. It’s time to admit that when someone is using their victimhood for their benefit, that the community is ultimately who pays that price.
