So having seen Internet Men doing the ‘but you’re a woman; how do you know things?’ game, let me draw your attention to the likes of: @juliarsct, @SofyaDAnisimova, @SilkNatasha, @KasiaTee, @nielsen_holly, @kejamieson_, @SpitfireFilly - all amazing & knowledgeable women historians
Most of my academic heroes have been women whose depth of knowledge has been matched by their collegiality. Im fortunate to count the likes of @thehistorygirl1, @Vanda_Wilcox, @DrAliceKelly, @ProfAlisonSFell, @drjanepotter and many others as my friends and colleagues.
And if you are a man who ever sees a woman being noted for her expertise and authority and your immediate response is to wonder why because she’s wearing mascara: maybe just fuck off?
