I do not think this should have been public. Posting about institutional and social sexism is definitely something that should be talked about, and I think we're all on the same page here, but I don't see why Cordell and I had to have anything to do with this.

Let me just say, we all agreed that Cordell's friend did something that was a part of what causes academic sexism. If someone said differently, it was a miscommunication, because we have had this same discussion before. We know that we are the institution that you are attacking, and we know that we are not always able to recognize the effects of our own unconscious actions on others, but I can agree that little things like speaking to me instead of you are the things that should not occur. Thank you for pointing out when they do.

So please do not equate what Cordell said afterward ("my sister thinks you're sexist") with disagreement. Rather, please recognize that sometimes comedians mistake their audience.

What I'm trying to say is, if this is a post about sexism, personally calling out one person for something said in bad taste is a terrible way to communicate your issues with society. If this is a post about what Cordell said, implying that Cordell is condescending and sexist is a terrible way to communicate your issues with him.
