    A lot of people asked why I got involved in the systems lab situation. Because the women that were being harassed out looked like me. Because if they don’t have a right to a safe working environment at UW, then I don’t either. People that haven’t had their identities attacked in this way don’t understand. But when people make snap judgements about you based on the way that you look AND other people that look like you are being told that they are not welcome, then it becomes personal.

    @irene Exactly, this is what solidarity is all about - an attack on some members of the community is an attack on all of us :goose_honk:

    @pci_express Also note that the UW faculty and administrators don’t blame me for the situation (because that would be insane) but for speaking out about it. Because they want the women to be isolated and erased. To be able to say, the problems are fixed (aka the women left), nothing to see here.
