Hey white dudes in physics! Read this! https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.03522
"Ending racism requires white people to change. Ending sexism requires men to change. Those who are oppressed are unable to fix inequity. They can give voice to it, but they alone can not end these oppressive systems."
6 recommendations for well-intentioned white male physicists to make physics better for everyone are listed toward the end of the paper
@sundogplanets "While white men have an extra ability to confront sexism and racism, their good intentions are
insufficient."
This is what grates me on all levels with "advocacy" (from the part of those with privilege), which is all talk and no action.
@bassoonwrath @sundogplanets Anecdotally, but to the point, I have a friend whose daughter started as a physics major (might have been astronomy) because she really liked the subject, but then switched out after a year because the misogyny was too oppressive.
It made me really sad to hear. I'm sure we lose so many talented people from so many fields because of shit like this.
Your point is both valid and irrelevant to the discussion about the article and associated issues in physics.
Minimizing an issue does nothing to rectify it or to make it disappear.
Since clicking the link and reading may have been problematic (I make no assumptions about accessibility), the attached images are of the title and the abstract for the article in question.
The easiest way for white sexist physicists to change is just for us all to start acting like they treat black people. 
The version that made it through peer review:
https://stemeducationjournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s40594-023-00433-8
A rough scan through the peer reviewed version compared to arxiv version appears largely the same. The recommended actions sections in the peer-reviewed version are much meatier with many references for "how to". Nice.
Background We present an analysis of interviews with 27 self-identified progressive white-male physics faculty and graduate students discussing race and gender in physics. White cis men dominate most STEM fields and are particularly overrepresented in positions of status and influence (i.e., full professors, chairs, deans, etc.), positioning them as a potentially powerful demographic for enacting systemic reform. Despite their proclaimed outrage at and interest in addressing inequity, they frequently engage in patterns of belief, speech and (in)action that ultimately support the status quo of white male privilege in opposition to their intentions. Results The white male physicists we interviewed used numerous discourses which support racist and sexist norms and position them as powerless to disrupt their own privilege. We present and discuss three overarching themes, seen in our data, demonstrating how highly educated, well-intentioned people of privilege maintain their power and privilege despite their own intentions: (1) denying inequity is physically near them; (2) locating causes of inequity in large societal systems over which they have little influence; and (3) justifying inaction. Conclusions Despite being progressively minded and highly educated, these men are frequently complicit in racism and sexism. We end with recommendations for helping cis men engage the power they hold to better work with marginalized people to disrupt inequity.
Here is another set of resources that can help individuals share their power, create safe spaces, and create opportunities.

We have talked about the fact that systemic and subtle discrimination accumulates over time, so what is the antidote for that? There are three things you should prioritise as antidotes – providing opportunities, creating safe spaces, and sharing power. Providing Opportunities In the image below, Marilyn Monroe used her privilege (ie. sharing her power) to […]

@sundogplanets they get mad when we give voice to it, I’ve seen men claim that #4B is #misandry 😂😂
Apparently women not being available for men to exploit or breed with feels like hate to them. Weird as hell.
White men don’t let marginalized people talk about racism either. They get accused of playing a race card.
