I'm proud to have joined the #OrderOfThePhoenix in Jo's support because I refuse to believe black female academics in UK have all swallowed this "feminist" idealist orthodoxy. Some will be precariously employed and silent for fear for career prospects and loss of livelihoods.

It's hard enough that UK academy is awash with afro-pessimist thought which does nothing toward changing lives materially for black people and verges on naturalising racism in white people (redeemable only by never ending atonement) without seeing racism weaponised against...
... women for their insistence that the exploitative system we live under has material effects on us. In other words, I believe black women in the lower rungs of society are sure to pay for all of this in future if we fail to stop it.
It's tragic that we have to use the courts but in the face of no honest debate the courts will have to provide unis with, at the very least the obligation of enforcing academic freedom and making sure female (and some male) academics are physically and intellectually free to work
I am unable to support this financially but I'll share the heck of it as I have others. Please support this too.
