um, y& #39;all must know that the idea that math is objective or neutral IS A MYTH #takebackmath
or read Cathy O& #39;Neill& #39;s work @mathbabedotorg on "Weapons of Math Destruction" or any or all of Rochelle Gutierrez& #39; scholarship

Here& #39;s another: Repeat, ON LOOP, "of course math is neutral because 2+2=4." Rely on that supposed axiom to then target ppl (& especially women) for coordinated ridicule/harassment. Never stray from this LOOP because it& #39;s an easy one to engage every Tom Dick & Harry to engage
the idea that math (or data) is culturally neutral or in any way objective is a MYTH. i& #39;m ready to move on with that understanding. who& #39;s coming with me? #takebackmath
along with the "of course math is neutral because 2+2=4" trope are the related (and creepy) "math is pure" and "protect math."

reeks of white supremacist patriarchy.

i& #39;d rather think on nurturing people & protecting the planet (with math in service of them goals) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌏" title="Asien-Australien auf dem Globus" aria-label="Emoji: Asien-Australien auf dem Globus">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💙" title="Blaues Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Blaues Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Grünes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Grünes Herz">
