I would like to read the thoughts of women on this listserve on that NYT article. I hope they feel they can without the fear of being mansplained to.

Hi List,
Steve Quackenbush and I are headed to a conference on Sartre this weekend at Mary Washington University. George Yancy will be giving the keynote. He has written quite a bit on racism in the US. He just wrote an op ed piece explaining why he thinks all men, including himself, are sexist: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.nytimes.com_2018_10_24_opinion_men-2Dsexism-2Dme-2Dtoo.html&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=vrsosTFwweVLZozwqh3sMnDw9m61dPszYjrVYdHoIYs&s=Dj0Q5wFKSj5yyVKFTjKFbvxyxvRQZ9qa8hvxL-ETDJs&e=. I will be interested to hear him speak (which will be more focused on racism than sexism, I think). Perhaps I will get a chance to chat with him. Would be curious to see if others have reactions to this.
When these kinds of conversations emerge, I like to bring them close to home, into the here and now. For example, in bringing this up, I can’t help but reflect on noticing how male dominated this list is, at least in terms of participation. We are fairly equivalent in terms of actual numbers (~35 of each gender). Yet, my sense is that 95% or more of the posts have been made by men. This is the pattern of virtually every other list serve I have been on (i.e., heavily male dominated, much more than the ratio of folks on the list). Interesting food for thought.
I will be heading out and back Monday.
Best,
Gregg
