By understanding a persons level of emotional maturity, we can choose how we engage with them.

HERE’S 5 CORE SIGNS OF EMOTIONAL IMMATURITY 🧵:

1. Highly Defensive: unable to listen to another persons thoughts or feelings without becoming defensive.

Ex: “oh I guess I’m just a terrible person!”
2. Dismissive of Feelings: invalidates, denies, or tries to change the ways person feels in attempt to make themselves more comfortable

Ex: “you’re so sensitive.” “guess you can’t take a joke” “why did you take it that way?”
3. Everything centers around their emotions: everything is brought back to themselves and how they feel father than validating or being curious about the other persons inner world.

Ex: You share how you feel & the response is: “oh well imagine how I FEEL!”
4. Black and White Thinking: attempts to fine safety by having inflexible ideas, opinions, and belief. Has little/no tolerance of other people’s opinions.

Ex: “that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard”
5. Take Everything Personally: feels personally attacked easily. Unable to put their ego aside to have a vulnerable emotional connection because of a fragile sense of self.

Ex: “maybe life would be easier for you if I wasn’t around!”

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
