I'm so excited for the keynote by @Purna_Sen from @UN_Women. #FASSM #MeToo #SexualHarassment #GenderHarassment
@Purna_Sen talks about the @UN_Women report about #SexualHarassment. Among 10 essentials is the "prompt, appropriate, and PUBLICLY DISSEMINATED sanctions..." #metoo #FASSM
The other half of the 10 essentials notes how institutions need to change their stances vis-a-vis reporters of #SexualHarassment. We HELP institutions, so don't treat us like threats! @Purna_Sen @UN_Women #FASSM #metoo

1/ What follows is the story of why I will not be attending #MPSA2020. Here, I discuss the aftermath of my #MeTooPoliSci disclosure, which I discussed last year: bit.ly/GillMeToo. The #thread is long, so please bear with me. #MPSAfail
2/ When I first saw the editorial statement on the @AJPS_Editor website in April 2018, I was devastated. In that statement, my harasser told the #polisci community that what I said about him harassing me was untrue. bit.ly/BuzzfeedStory1
3/ He also indicated that his cooperation with the ongoing investigations with the @MPSAnet, @michiganstateu, and @UMich was an attempt to clear his name.

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

THREAD: Men and trauma
For this generation of men, there will be no quick or easy way forward. It will take generations for us to free ourselves from what was done to us, by us, for us, and through us in the name of traditional American masculinity. /1
How American men perform manhood is killing us and those we love. Our mothers, wives, daughters, our sons, our fathers and our friends are all paying a terrible price. Which is why this conversation about manhood has to happen. /2
If we can not do this for ourselves, straddling what was and what is to come, uncertain of simple moral imperatives, angry and defensive, then we must do this for those we love. /3

#Thread #JNU #MeToo: ICC just made sure no woman will ever find the courage to report a sexual violation to them. They said the complaint "was frivolous" and hence not proven conclusively. The story doesn't clarify whether "malicious intent" was proven. indianexpress.com/article/india/…
#JNU #sexualharassment #MeToo: In that case, here's what the POSH Act states. Malicious intent has not been proven. And the mere inability to prove the case doe NOT merit punishment as harsh as being recommended by JNU ICC.
So what are the punishment suggested? For starters she's being treated like a common criminal. Please remember this is a student we are talking about.

#MeToo allegations are coming out. Perhaps very few of of them are outright lies. Some of them are completely true. But most are selective representations of reality. It's worse than useless when a story is stripped of its context. #MeTooIndia (1/n)
Women are running amok. But even feminist female detectives who investigate rape cases think 50-90% of the allegations are false. They've studied this in different parts of the world. There's no place where at least half the allegations aren't false. #MeToo #MeTooIndia (2/n)
People refuse to believe this, but this is a consistent finding.This doesn't mean all allegations are false. Some allegations seem very real, and sexual harassment seems to have destroyed careers. #MeToo #MeTooIndia (3/n)

In a patriarchal society, women are taught self doubt, silence, to put up with shit. To assume that they will be able to say no to 1st sexual overture by a colleague/senior at work is unfair. Some cant afford to quit the job. (1/n) #Metoo
They put up with stalking, unwanted attention, nasty sexist behaviour for years on end knowing that not many will believe them when they complain. It is not a level playing field. Wish it was but apart from work hierarchies, there r gender hierarchies to conquer too. #MeToo (2/n)
To dismiss the trauma they put up with, sometimes months, yrs, decades till they find the courage to call it out as just as bad behaviour on part of men is a travesty. The harassment they face is sexual in nature. So we will have to call it sexual harassment. #Metoo (3/n)

THREAD: Every so often I volunteer with a bipartisan group that trains young women to run for office. The last time I did this there was one woman who asked how you run for office when there is something you don't want to talk about.
I gave some general insight into how candidates often try to create a zone of privacy while becoming public figures. She didn't get more specific & I didn't ask.
Whatever it was I could tell it was something that both motivated her and that she felt she could never disclose or bear talking about in public. Which made me wonder: How many women don't run for office bc they can't bear the idea of talking about what they have experienced?
