She also made a crack about the early days of SFF conventions saying that women did all the behind-the-scenes work while the men ran around pinching the women's butts.

Indeed, I'd encourage the SFWA to expel Beale and Jemisin alike. Whether racist and gender biased comments are made to discredit a minority or a majority shouldn't matter. If one member gets expelled, then the other as well. It probably would make the SFWA a slightly better organization.
