as for distinguishing between "standpoint epistemology" (framework of analysis, good, based) and "deference epistemology" (blunt tool, bad faith distortion of standpoint), i recommend this excellent essay by Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò:

"Being-in-the-Room Privilege: Elite Capture and Epistemic Deference" by Olúfémi O. Táíwò
"Deference epistemology responds to real, morally weighty experiences of being put down, ignored, sidelined, or silenced."
