Oh my women friends are all going to nod at this article so hard your head’s gonna fall off https://www.manchesterhive.com/display/9781526174703/9781526174703.00009.xml
“ If you let male historians hold forth, they will never respect you as an expert. If you try to challenge them, they will continue to think that they hold more expertise than you, and also resent you for the interruption. If you draw attention to the gendered dynamic which allows them to do this explaining – and especially if you ever utter the word ‘mansplaining’ – you will be labelled ‘intimidating’ or ‘difficult’ or ‘scary’, ”
Truth, and not just w/ historians.
