[Untitled]

[edit]

Alessar 19:49, 3 April 2007 (UTC)Pardon, but Professor Crenshaw spells her name with an acutely accented e (Kimberlé). Shouldn't that be noted in her article?[reply]

bio?

[edit]

Did/does she have parents (and siblings)? When did she leave Ohio? Is she married (with children)? Does she have any friends, any hobbies? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nitpyck (talkcontribs) 20:21, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't an encyclopedia article, it's an advertisement.24.90.190.96 (talk) 09:57, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removing critical reception section?

[edit]

Hello, the critical reception section has only one example and it's from the person appointing her to a position. The section is thin to the point of being useless. Unless someone responds to this objecting or agreeing to fill out personally, I shall be deleting the section from the page. Tedfitzy (talk) 05:11, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's been about a day and a half since I posted this. I shall be removing the section. If someone wants to restore it and furnish it with more content, by all means. Tedfitzy (talk) 15:37, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
why again did you think it should be removed 🤔? 2601:C6:D701:CE20:9994:B89C:90B0:9FF2 (talk) 20:10, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It appears that it was reinstated without discussion. I don't think the content in this section is useful in understanding the person or her work - we already know about her academic positions in numerous other parts of the wiki. Dlobr (talk) 16:23, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

you don't think criticism is useful in understanding a person or their work 🤔? 2601:C6:D701:CE20:9994:B89C:90B0:9FF2 (talk) 20:11, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

C. Thomas

[edit]

The section on A. Hill and C. Thomas reads as if it were proven that Hill's version is correct. I think, though, that it is an open question. Was Thomas ever convicted of anything? No. Has he ever admitted that he acted inappropriately? Not to my knowledge. So, on what basis is his alleged misconduct written as unchallenged fact? Kdammers (talk) 16:02, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you are referring to these sentences: The case drew two crowds expressing contrasting views: white feminists in support of Hill and the opposing members of the African-American community that supported Clarence Thomas. The two lines of argument focused on the rights of women and Hill's experience of being violated as a woman, on the one hand, and on the other the appeal to forgive Thomas or turn a blind eye to his conduct due to his opportunity to become only the second African American to serve on the United States Supreme Court.
I interpreted that part as stating the point of view of the African-American community rather than a fact. But I can see how that could be interpreted as saying that Thomas was guilty; maybe that last sentence should be rephrased to show that this is an opinion? --Kzkzb (talk) 16:17, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please make additions to critical reception section

[edit]

The critical reception section is a stub and surprisingly one-sided considering what a controversial figure she is. Her theories are even up for debate among anti-racist activists.

A more complete profile of critiques would be helpful here. 2605:A601:A9BA:1600:CD30:AE3D:4332:8001 (talk) 06:31, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
