These strategies are good, but seems like we should be using space in Nature to address what department heads and administrators [power] need to be doing. Also to recognize the 'system' NOT as permanent truth, but a community of our peers who perpetuate antiquated ideals.

Indian Matchmaking really doing the work to normalize sus casteism and colorism in a western context.

Existence of bi men is "controversial" but existence of bi women is "uncontroversial". Wtf are these assumptions? Straight white men really only talk to each other. I guess should expect as much from paper with Pinker as the editor.
