This is why I rarely block people, except if flat out and repeatedly abusive or manipulative and not acting in good faith.
Super important to avoid overly curated feeds or echo chambers.
Keep feeding your mind new content. Challenge your assumptions.

I am quicker to block anonymous accounts who engage in ad hominem - latter signals weak argument. Plus, if you dish it out, be ready to take it. If you lack the gonads (of any gender) to put yourself out there, I don't really respect you and have limited interest in your content
I do appreciate people who introduce me to new sources of data or new ways to look at data. Show me articles, evidence, analysis, and we have a conversation.
I don't (try not to) get elitist/snarky like some do to assert dominance/superiority.
I like to learn how others think.

This is the second time in 24 hours the focus has been in being polite from within #WIM #PROWD
Traits I value:
visionary, innovative
being accurate
humanism
pro-mental health
Polite is a subjective term, often means aligning w/ status quo. Polite people quietly avoid bullies.

Yes, @KamalaHarris is able to smile through her debates and adhere to expected gender norms and avoid any hint of the racist trope of “angry” as a Black woman. But is that really what makes her qualified? Or is it a career worth of experience as well as times she persisted?
What are our priorities? In a busy world, we will only have a chance to achieve 3-5 max. If we put polite and being on time in those top 3-5, where does addressing safety, quality, inequity, mental health fall? Are we judging someone on timeliness who may have chronic illness?
I am grateful I had mentors who did not do this, rather used words like “brilliant.”
Later in career, my having the confidence I did from early nurturing caused some people to feel I was “full of myself”...but was that cuz
...we expect women to apologize for taking up space?

Now add the experience of being a minority. For Black women there is either the “mammy” or the “angry Black woman” tropes. Where is the space to be authentically oneself and confidently so? #MedTwitter #PROWD #WomenInMedicine #WomenInSTEM

“Asian” encompasses many things and while there is some overlap between cultures and stereotypes of us, there are also differences. From the @APAPsychiatric

I don't know who needs to hear this, but providing examples of being nice or supportive to women in your own family does not make on a feminist or pro-woman nor does that make you anti-racist regarding POC or WOC or BIPOC. The "I am a good person" is at the root of much harm.
Okay, I do know who needs to hear this and this was not really a subtweet because the individuals who fit this description do not use Twitter. But there is more than one individual who may or may not need to have some deep reflection on what "I am a good person" says about ego.
This is from Australia. If in these times, as a not BIPOC, certainly as a not Black person in America, you are asking "Are you calling me a racist?!" (when that word not uttered but, yes, #implicitbias exists and racism is a #public health crisis)....

So much to unpack here
Thankfully I experienced the opposite in my own residency
BUT then I was unprepared for this after residency
When described this way by faculty, then can a woman really choose to describe herself similar to men without invoking backlash and social cost?

The word choices here are signaling values
difference in what valued by gender and it predicts this later
expected of women:
special favors
emotional labor
friendship behaviors
constant availability
leniency
can women hold others accountable?

This extends to direct reports too. What if one stops bringing snacks, being maternal (the giving tree)?
Is it fair to make it a women’s job, already overburdened and underpaid, to support other women?
Or can there be accountability & standards?

I am so frustrated with the misogyny that is getting perpetuated.
Reported to me by an immigrant guy - who is assimilating to norms - on what is common in a neurosurgery resident office:
Talking about girlfriends’ “b**bs”
....in front of female PAs and med students

Describing women with multiple sexual partners as “human gutters”
U.S. professors, tell him the law has become “gynocentric”
that men need to be afraid and are falsely accused

Let’s even set aside outrage for a sec
How can you speak of women as “human gutters”, discuss your girlfriend’s “b**bs” at work in front of female med students and PAs
AND claim you are oppressed and need to be scared?
You *are still* openly engaging in sexual harassment
