'I. Am. Stanton.' Boom.
There isin women’s lives, but this one may just take the cake. Neuroscientist Tasha Stanton was at a conference recently and was told by a male conference attendee that she should read a paper that a certain Dr. Stanton authored. Her three-word response could possibly be the best way to shut down mansplaining forever.
“Friends at conferences – please do not assume that the people that you talk to do not know anything,” she wrote. “I just got told that I should read what Stanton et al found about pain.” Then she dropped the bomb. “I. Am. Stanton.” Bless. Friends at conferences – please do not assume that the people that you talk to do not know anything. I just got told that I should read what Stanton et al found about pain.Of course, Dr. Stanton said she would never assume he would know who she was, but that it was his condescending tone and assumption that she hadn’t yet “read up” on the subject matter that irritated her.
Response: Visibly shocked, awkward silence, some attempted back-pedalling and then we both had a laugh. I told him that it was a massive compliment that he recommended my paper, that I am glad he enjoyed it and found it useful,So, what did he do after she threw down the now-viral response, “I am Stanton?” She tweeted that there was visible shock, “awkward silence, some attempted back-pedaling and then we both had a laugh.
...but that in the future he might want to be careful not to assume that other people don’t know things...especially when you are at a conference.
