I'm a computer scientist who frequently uses this space to write about issues of power and privilege, often those axes of power and privilege that involve gender and sexuality. If I occupied a slightly different social standing than I do, perhaps I'd use the time freed up by not thinking about the various ways in which my friends and I are granted or denied credibility by our social environment to write more about my research instead. As it is, I need to write about what I write about here for the same reasons that the blogger going by the name "Restructure!" does, to wit:
"More women than men discuss sexism, and it is not because we find the topic more fun, entertaining, or enjoyable than men. It is because sexism gets in the way of our freedom. I blog about sexism in geek culture not because it’s my passion, but because it gets in the way of my passions. My struggle against my marginalization is not my hobby."
I have a lot of acquaintances.
Any public posts on this journal are, well, public. If you'd like to link to them, please do; that makes me happy. There's no need to ask permission first.
