About: Buying silence   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

A pattern in dealing with sexist incidents, for both corporations and individuals, is to donate money to a diversity-related cause. Especially when unaccompanied by an actual apology for -- or sometimes, even acknowledgment of -- the incident, this looks like a use of the offender's superior economic power to silence critics. Sometimes, the recipient of the donation is one that is not particularly challenging to the status quo and thus cannot ameliorate the harm done by the original incident.
