It’s wild to read work by D&I specialists that’s mostly ok and then part way through out comes commentary stemming from tone policing and victim blaming.

There is this preoccupation with silencing people who have bad experiences, and pathologising a natural reaction. https://twitter.com/uwelibrary/status/1285533565640376327

And if we can’t do it with legal mechanisms like NDAs because the use of these harms the reputation of the people who impose them, and if we can’t do it with shame because people are starting to reject that, then we’ll do it by pathologising survivor anger.

And if that doesn’t work we can add the implied burden that anyone harmed by a situation is in turn harming efforts to stop that kind of thing happening by displaying anything other than perfect magnanimity in response. #MeToo

I wish it was normal to place more scrutiny on the people who do harm than on the people who are harmed; and that accountability featured in conversations around inclusion because it is chronically absent in my experience.

The inclusion sector has a problem with victim blaming.
