@Claudia_Sahm Hi Claudia, you know I agree with you on substantive issues. But do you think your references to “mf macro men” (or even just “macro men”) instead of simply focusing on the substance of the disagreement helps you advance your point or improve the climate of our profession? 1/5
@Claudia_Sahm Why not just referring to them as “other macroeconomists”? After all, I think there are also female macroeconomists who agree with Summers. How does what you do help us remove sexism from our profession? 2/5
@Claudia_Sahm How do you think you and others would respond to me if I referred over and over again to female macroeconomists I disagree with as “(mf) macro women”? 3/5
@Claudia_Sahm I actually had to stop following you some months ago because I felt (and still feel) that you have been using my gender as a pejorative in so many of your tweets, and I found it offensive. 4/5
@Claudia_Sahm No one should use anyone else’s gender to demean them. It was wrong when it was done to you and other women. It is wrong when you do it. 5/5
