Emilia Wilson

Lecturer at Cardiff University (24 - 27). I mostly work on ethics, feminist/social epistemology, and Phil of language. She/Her.

Two paper acceptances in two hours, for papers Ive been working on for years?(!)

I will never experience this high again

[Emilia Wilson @Emiliarative]

My paper “eroticised refusal narratives and perspectival rape myths” has been accepted and is forthcoming in Phil Imprint(!)

This is a version of the very first material I wrote for my PhD and I’m so happy and relieved that it’s finally found a home

@ellend3generous May your hands remain their normal size 🙏

(Hope you feel better soon!)

@rbnmckenna86 Love gentle the reassurance of “why it’s ok to be moderate”

@daisyldixon Not to mention that extremely male dominated work places are typically hostile to the point of danger to women who work there..

A welder was murdered at work by her male colleague a week ago

PhDs are about setting your own research agenda - you can totally lose your mind every year if you like

[Emilia Wilson @Emiliarative]

@AmeliaHorgan I’m also v aware of the tendency of those same men to cast any photo a woman posts of herself as necessarily an excercise in vanity which I think is patently absurd

[Emilia Wilson @Emiliarative]

@AmeliaHorgan Yeah, so algorithm filters are definitely a factor. I feel like there’s a plurality of permissible ‘flavours’ of the who cares response. Like, “rising above it” is great, but I don’t think affirmation/vocal antagonism (for want of a better term) is wrong either

[Emilia Wilson @Emiliarative]

@AmeliaHorgan Like, if a contingent of men react extremely negatively to women’s academic achievements by appeal to attractiveness, fertility etc etc, I think a response of being *more* vocal and saying “ok, die mad about it” is at least permissible

[Emilia Wilson @Emiliarative]

@AmeliaHorgan I’m sure there’s different facets/maybe it’s my own feed, but I think this is an uncharitable interpretation. My impression of the trend has been an affirmation of pride/achievement not “hotness” (or male desirability)

[Emilia Wilson @Emiliarative]

@GOEPhil454 Wow, didn’t realise making assumptions about others’ characters based on a tweet & branding their degree useless while knowing nothing about it was practicing humility - thanks for the guidance lil guy!

[Emilia Wilson @Emiliarative]

Soooo distraught that my doctorate won’t make me more attractive to wannabe MRA grifters 😢

That - and the pretty gown - were surely the only reasons for getting the degree

[Dr Daisy Dixon @daisyldixon]

“just look at the degree on that chick”

[Emilia Wilson @Emiliarative]

@GOEPhil454 This is an ugly comment, but I imagine it’s aggravating to see so many accomplished women as a self-described “wannabe scholar”

[Emilia Wilson @Emiliarative]

@guitarguy1428 Hmm, my tweet doesn’t say anything about the entire population of men.. Logical inference doesn’t seem to be your strong point- maybe a philosophy degree would help?

[Emilia Wilson @Emiliarative]

@GOEPhil454 Are you under the impression I got my degrees to become more likeable..?

Can assure you that four years studying sexual violence and prejudice made me more of a bitch than ever, don’t worry

[Emilia Wilson @Emiliarative]

@NnamaniIfeomaC Aw ❤️ thank you

[Emilia Wilson @Emiliarative]

@61harpy The gown was a definite bonus! Uni of St Andrews
