Was in conversation with a CEO yesterday and after telling him what I researched (diversity), he said “great timing 😄”

Astonishingly brutal, to say the least. Tell me again how the (always nebulously and imprecisely defined) "woke mob" is the big harbinger of threat on college campuses...
USC announced that valedictorian Asna Tabassum’s commencement speech has been canceled, stating it was “necessary to maintain the safety of our campus and students”
‘I am surprised that my own university has abandoned me,’ Tabassum said in a statement

Another take on the Harvard letter: abusers tend to hide behind friendships w charismatic & influential women. They groom their victims AND manipulate others around them so they can defend them when 💩 hits the fan. I’m not justifying nada. But abusers are master manipulators.

Girl, take your award and leave Black women out of it. Not only is your comment blatantly untrue, but why do you need to engage in a downward social comparison to lift yourself up? Just, ew.
You were being given one of the highest honors of your craft and you chose to use that moment and your platform to denigrate Black women who have had to face gendered racism and racist sexism in their fields.
This is what is meant when we say solidarity is for white women.
