Thanks for a sensible, straightforward article about fixing academia. I especially appreciate that you note up front how privileged all academians are to do the work they do. Everything in this article, however, applies to subjegation of women, including the definition of racism from White Fragility - which is also a pitch-perfect definition of sexism. Academia is stifling on so many levels but its rigid hierarchy has as much (if not more) to do with male domination as white supremacy. It's almost difficult to disentangle the two, but we girls and women don't want our hair (and other parts) touched, either.
