Thank you for writing this. I saw all of it unfold and as you know, went through the stages of dismay, discomfort, anger, extreme guilt then anger again.

"the nature of the project means if we let problematic commentary stand, we're undermining ourselves. If the project is about women's experiences, which often include sexism — both deliberate and cultural — and inform our positions, what is its legacy when we fail to call out any sexism that occurs from within?"

I think this is the gist of what I came away with after these events and I regret that for a moment there, I almost opted for silence.
