This guy thinking to himself, “Here’s this woman squawking about stuff on BlueSky, while I have a New Yorker subscription where I noticed an article on the same topic, which I probably didn’t read, but I’m going to hit her with a quote from it all the same…”
Thank you for dunking. The article made me follow the author on Blue Sky. There is no disrespect in pointing out Pauli Murray's role when discussing "one twentieth-century figure who did the most to change American life."
Do you have a way of doing that that doesn't involve citing the person you're responding to's own work to them like they might night be aware of it? Because I would have gone with that.
Remembering a twitter thread in which a woman PhD recounted being lectured by a man PhD that she needed read Dr. ____. She kept trying to tell him "I am Dr. ____," to no avail.

I think the translator is a more excusable miss than the author, but others may disagree.
