The #Knox grammar news is yet more in a long line of evidence that illustrates the nonsense/classist logic of framing boys from poor suburbs as ‘the problem’. The issue is up and down the socioeconomic spectrum, but the ‘elite’ boys take these attitudes into positions of power.

You know how we want to normalise academic experience of ‘failure’? Well how is this for an academic who failed. I just got back from dentist & turns out I had a (clean) SOCK on my shoulder the whole way there, during the treatment & payment & all the way back. No one asked why!

My biological dad died few hours ago. We were not close but he wasn’t cruel, like some ‘dads’ who came & went in my life. Emotionally blurry times. By luck we managed to exchange some kind messages just last week. Be kind. Bury those hatchets. Proceed with love where you can ❤️

We stayed there for two days. Somehow the perp was talked down. Eventually made a new life elsewhere. Counting dead women as a measure of men’s violence is the tip of the ice berg. Many more are ‘almost’ on that list too. Men must join women to stand against masculine violence.

So grateful for the many who have shared this. Can the few who think this is ‘politicising’ pls reflect on: a) how the personal/ familial experience is at the very heart of the political. B) all experience is shaped by policy! And can they also stop being so bloody heartless.

This was the threat of my step dad in the months after their finally separating - it was the slow culmination of yrs of manipulation, terrorising, property destruction, violence against kids & mother. Entitled, with masculine outrage, he wanted to hurt us to hurt my mum. 2/n

My sweet boy looking right into my eyes, repeatedly, to share the laughter at replays of him building a LEGO tower until it falls over. Massive, massive toddler highlight. 😍❤️😂

Message to all academics doing peer reviews: handle with care. Humans are on the receiving end of the unwarranted, aggressive feedback masquerading as productive discipline guarding. #AcademicTwitter #phdchat

@DrSahlaAroussi @PhDForum The first R&R I received I R&Rd and was told by the reviewer that my revisions were so insufficient they regretted having spent time giving me feedback in the first place. I cried over that like the world had ended and haven’t touched the article since

too sick/infectious to be in crowd tomorrow’s #March4Justice . But I’d march not just for my mum, sister, wife, friends who’ve been harassed, harmed & assaulted by men, but because ALL WOMEN deserve respect, dignity, safety, JUSTICE. And all men should support and demand this ✊🏾

There’s two types of academic in the world. Those like me who have 63 tabs open simultaneously. And those who think the former are psychologically compromised. #AcademicTwitter #PhDchat #toomanytabs #reading #organised

#IWD2021 celebrating my mum. What if mum was believed about her sexual assault as a child? What if she didn’t have to endure men’s violence for decades? What if she didn’t *have* to be more resilient than anyone? What if women could thrive & not just try to survive? #changeit

I’m just a skinny brown man boy, in my rain soaked trackies and hoodie, standing in front of yet another medical/professional staff member who is overtly double taking me because they expected someone else to stand up when they call out ‘Dr Roberts’.

This large scale study of student evaluations across is fascinating. Confirms gender bias against women in many faculties, but over +above points to interactions of racial/ cultural biases with gender. Resonates with much of @KalwantBhopal arguments 1/2

Happy (if plausible) #MothersDay to my amazing mum. A #survivor of every thing that has been thrown at her, from sexual assault, to losing her parents and a sister by her early 20s, to chronic profound domestic violence, to parenting four kids alone (pic cira 1994) #hero

Very pleased to say that our first academic paper out of this research, documenting women teachers’ experiences of resurgent male supremacy and its connection to Tate has been accepted by the journal @genderanded . A grim but hopefully useful read. @stephwescott_ @XZhaovici

If you’re at #AARE2023 and you’re interested in hearing about Andrew Tate & misogynist radicalisation among boys in Australian schools, come along to our paper tomorrow morning. We’ll be talking about our study findings & what happens next.
