They are wrong and you are right, period, end of sentence.

And they should be ashamed of themselves for being such fucking asshats. Jayzus.

I have no idea how it could be fixed (if I were that woman, i wouldn't want to be around those people again, at all), but good on you for speaking up. Just don't let them browbeat you into thinking you're wrong - you're not.

I'm not the one standing up to *several* people, intent on making me back down and shut up. Take a little credit, bb. :)

I think you are a very kind and empathetic person for standing in her shoes like that. You would get along with people here. If something like that happened, everyone would be very appoligetic and really, I think that's really all she needs. Someone to listen to her and be sympathetic. One person that would just apologize for her degrading experience, tell her she is right to feel hurt, and let her vent a little.

YOU'RE so kind! Thank you so so much!

Honestly, I don't deserve much credit for wanting to apologize for not properly protecting this person, whose protection was my responsibility. But thank you so, so much for saying such amazing kind things!

And thank you so, so much for the advice - I really hope that'll do it!

Ugh :( Idk what the conference topic was but it sounds like that it failed to involve the voices of the audience/people at the heart of it. In my discipline area/academic circles, I'd like to think we're better at it, but then again the non-academics we most often collaborate are criminal justice professionals and thus pretty empowered to say if something needs clarifying. This idea where you'd redo the papers but in a different way and in the home ground of the intended audience, sounds excellent if you can make it happen. More you talk about your experiences of higher education there, more I wish you'd had a chance to experience it here.

I candefinitely make it happen. Those women - say the word i'll gladly give you a course in anything I can teach, of course. And I know plenty of women who also would. But I just don't know if they'd even care - or need me yammering at them .

Still, cansuggest......
