This was taken from http://geekfeminism.org/about/code-of-conduct/ http://geekfeminism.org/about/code-of-conduct/ with one omission:
> The Geek Feminism Anti-Abuse Team will not act on complaints regarding: ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’ (because these things don’t exist)
I'd agree that the reverse-isms do not exist. Sexism is sexism no matter who it affects. But it is not clear to me if the text should be interpreted this way...
- 13thLetter 11y agoSo to be clear, if someone was talking about "male tears" or saying that all white people were [X], you believe that this code of conduct would be enforced against those people? Because I don't. If the CoC was genuinely designed to oppose discriminatory behavior against everyone, why would its authors be clinging so tightly to this bit of language that could be interpreted as greenlighting certain types of discrimination? It's unnecessary, so why not remove it?
