[FlyingBrickAnnouncements] Response to DGR - Please give me feedback!

[Matt W]

So I've been way out of the loop with library stuff for months because of
work & class, but I *have* been reading the emails and wanted to comment on
this. Love what you wrote, Ramey. Some thoughts:

I was really bummed and horrified to read the remarks made by Lierre Keith,
they go beyond mere ignorance or lack of exposure to the topic - they're
unapologetically hateful. I agree that of DGR came to the Brick, it should
be with a willingness to discuss the intersection of gender oppression and
environmental work. Although Keith's views don't necessarily speak for DGR,
I think the fact that they make that distinction should equate to a
willingness to have that conversation.

Xander's last email began with the statement "Patriarchy is killing the
planet." Would it be inappropriate to let DGR's own words speak for them? I
think it might be helpful for other groups in other cities who are
considering having DGR to be able to find/see what he wrote and see the
breakdown in communication on their side, especially if someone is just
internet searching and doesn't know much about them.
