@LorettaJRoss on how she arrived at the call out/cancel culture on social media

Lessons from 70s women’s movement and the civil rights wing of the human rights movement - this used to be called ‘trashing’ and punishment in order to get accountability.
#LSECallingOut @MediaLSE
‘Let’s learn to turn to each other rather than on each other’ while disagreeing on strategies & tactics #LSECallingOut

Performance activism that weaponises privilege and activates identity to “punch sideways” is not very productive

@LorettaJRoss is very critical of ‘wokeness’
Good uses of Calling Out: to define the movement, call attention to injustices through public shaming and ‘punching up’ 💪

@LorettaJRoss: ‘Stop overstating the harm’

Intersectional feminism question:
1/2 Does this toning down and muting of the feminist rage in order to be forgiving ask more from those with less power within the same activist movement?

#LSECallingOut
2/2 … as it requires more emotional resilience from them and a compassion they were denied?

@LorettaJRoss: Repurpose your ‘whiteness’ and educational status to be of use to all of us…

Ok, @LorettaJRoss is not taking ‘calling out’ off the table when dealing with serial abusers

It is not a panacea for every situation - she advocates for a continuum of tools in agitating against abuses of power

It is not the victim’s job to heal the abuser #LSECallingOut
@chouliaraki_l Thanks for the likes - finally my obsessive tweeting has found a productive purpose! 🤓

@cori_crider @nyunt_pye @AdaLovelaceInst @ImogenParker @Foxglovelegal Hi @cori_crider!100% of your NHS cases conceding pre-permission just shows they dont have the resources to engage in a long drawn out legal battle.

There are so many uses of machine learning& automated allocation in social commissioning models in local govts across the UK 1/12
@cori_crider @nyunt_pye @AdaLovelaceInst @ImogenParker @Foxglovelegal They use it to speak to NHS, allocate resources& predict need for services-built by private analytics consultancies

Esp in integrated planning systems bridging local authorities, NHS& other agencies with responsibilities for pub health, #ML is used to curate info for people 2/12
@cori_crider @nyunt_pye @AdaLovelaceInst @ImogenParker @Foxglovelegal Once these systems are in place I’m sure it is possible to take a risk model developed in social care to another department within the same public organisation for debt recovery 3/12

@SRW_ANU @HonJulieBishop @MrKRudd @shiroarmstrong @SharonFrielOz .@HonJulieBishop thanks for an excellent panel on Geopolitical leadership in a post #covid world. We ran out of time before the gender & leadership question could be addressed.

@SRW_ANU @HonJulieBishop @MrKRudd @shiroarmstrong @SharonFrielOz 1/4 Where does gender and issues of women’s leadership feature in your vision for a forward-thinking Australian government in a Post-COVID geopolitical arrangement? #auspol #ReclaimTheseStreets #March4Justiceau #March4Justice
@SRW_ANU @HonJulieBishop @MrKRudd @shiroarmstrong @SharonFrielOz 2/4 Could you reflect on the institutionalized misogyny and ‘boys club’ attitudes that have led to the current sexual abuse allegations; and the inability to take women’s safety seriously even within government offices. #auspol #March4Justice #ReclaimTheseStreets

@larissawaters 1/5 The LNP with the same old toxic masculinity and a culture of impunity. There is only way to shut this down - this systematic abuse &silencing of women at the federal level of politics -CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT @leighsales @Lisa_Wilkinson @Milliganreports #auspol #IBelieveBrittany
@larissawaters @leighsales @Lisa_Wilkinson @Milliganreports 2/5 Criminalising coercive control& an independent inquiry is a starting point. The only way to have a lasting solution is to have a class action lawsuit with bipartisan support& testimonials from women who have worked in the APS or as staffers @leighsales @Lisa_Wilkinson #auspol
@larissawaters @leighsales @Lisa_Wilkinson @Milliganreports 3/5 ...with the most famous Australian to have lost her job at the hands of this #auspol culture @JuliaGillard as our QC? Perhaps Maurice Blackburn @WeFightForFair can provide legal support

@larissawaters This can start by fixing the casualisation of the APS. It is really hard for jnr staffers on 2 yr/fixed term contracts to speak up or even admit to the violation. Their priority is to get their contracts extended etc. Navigating the toxic masculine Canberra culture is a minefield
@larissawaters @larissawaters When you get the chance ask the same questions to Minister Reynolds again using scenarios from the workflow a) "what would you do now if a complaint like this were to be brought to you today?". It becomes part of the public record (Hansard).
@larissawaters Ms Higgins can refer to this in her police complaint and demand the release of the documents/information she needs @Lisa_Wilkinson
